Bigger, faster, stronger!

Still scruffy around the neck, but she's catching up in size...

Gertie is curious and comes in for a closer look.  Then she pecks my camera.


"You look shiny and tasty!"




Millie says, "I want to be curious too!" 
Gertie says, "Copy cat."

   Gertie is plateauing, size-wise, but they're both stll growing pretty fast...and they're so much stronger.  In another month, they will be close to adult size!  Isn't she a pretty little chicken?  I can't believe she started out as a wobbly little gray fluff ball.

Side note: "Bigger, faster, stronger" a.k.a., BFS, was a gym program at my high school.  It was mostly filled with meathead jocks who wanted to spend their hour of gym class in the weight room.  Mildred and Gertrude do not pump iron.  They are LADIES.
