Our baby chicks, Cocoa and Clove, were born 2 weeks ago and are growing fast! In fact they are quickly outgrowing their brooder and we’re now looking for a bigger box.

We try to give them time each day outside the box to stretch their legs and flap their tiny wings.

It will probably be another month indoors. The other chickens will be properly introduced after the snow melts and there’s plenty of space for everyone.

Spring is coming, though! Temps reached about 50 degrees today and everyone was outdoors to enjoy it.
