Today I finally moved the chicks into their new home. I still have some work to do, but they really needed the extra room. They seem to like it a lot, flapping their little wings and trying to see outside. There is a lot of scratching and running around so far. I added a little roost after I took this picture and some of the chicks immediately hopped up on it and flapped their wings.
To the right is a picture of Goldie, our Golden Sex Link. She is starting to look very pretty and has soft feathers. She was the last chick to leave the brooder today. Her choice. She was playing hard to get. I actually tried to catch her first, but she flew away from me so I took Sadie first and she got to explore the new coop on her own for a few minutes. It didn't take long for her to start chirping loudly for her friends. The next two were the Ameraucana chicks and then the Plymouth Barred Rock. After the rest of the chicks were gone, Goldie missed them immediately and started her loud chirping for her friends. When I went back to get her she didn't put up as much of a fight and was finally happily checking out her new home.
