It's unbelievable how much the chickens could change in a week.  The biggest issue is that they have literally grown feathers overnight.  With the exception of Millie and Boots, our chickens have grown beautiful wing feathers and tail feathers are very noticeable in Gracie and especially Hazel.  Check out their before and after photos.  It's only been 6 days!! (When we chose Penelope, her wing feathers were already well established). 

The temperature in their mini coop is now around 90 degrees.  They are enjoying about 1/2 hour outside everyday, which they seem to be very happy about, even though they huddle around the heat lamp once they get inside for about 15-20 minutes.  They have been introduced to a roosting stick, which Penelope mastered first.  She looks quite funny sleeping on it, because her head hangs so low, but Hazel is now enjoying the roost and it looks like Gracie will be next.
