I haven't posted much on our chicks. The first two weeks, the kids (especially Lee) played with them constantly. I couldn't get her out of the basement. She would sit down there and make potholders or read Calvin and Hobbes for hours with a chick on her lap. She had her favorite ones (I'm not sure she can really tell them apart, but then again she's spent a lot more time with them than I have).
Then, they got bigger and started to molt, and she suddenly lost interest.
It wasn't until the weather got nice this week that suddenly the chicks were interesting, because now they could play outside with them!
Here is what they look like now. They've got most of their feathers, and they really look like chickens (as opposed to little sparrows).
