Chicks growing

We let the chicks out on the grass today because my 3 and 5-year-olds wanted to see them run. Well, they ran fast, but luckily we were able to corner and catch them all and place them safely back in their brooder.  My little sons thought it was great seeing their mummy crawl around on her knees, nabbing chicks as they tried to scoot past. They are fascinated by the growth in their feathers as they have almost changed from being covered in down (the fluffy feathers at birth) to having normal feathers. This is all part of the learning process. Because my sons are so young, they are yet to believe me that chickens do not have any teeth!
