The baby chicks have outgrown their trailer brood pen in the garage and have been re-homed to the tiny coop outside. In advance of their move, Liam and I made the coop comfortable and warm with dry wood shavings, fresh food, a bigger water container, and a new heat lamp for night time.
Before they were allowed to move; however, each chick got her wings clipped. We are trying to reduce the risk of anyone taking a joy flight out of the coop given Emily's poultry killing affliction.

I did the holding and Liam did the clipping. He clipped every single bird perfectly.

| The birds were a bit apprehensive about their new home initially. |

| But before we knew it, they were out free ranging. |
The many dandelion greens that fill their pen are currently a huge hit. The chicks think these are the tastiest snack ever!
