I went to check on the chickens over the weekend and boy have they grown! As soon as I walked up to the coop Mr. Bird started getting real feisty. When I stepped in he attacked me, pecking at my hands and feet! OUCH. What happened to my sweet little chickens??? I know he's only trying to protect his lady but I remember when he would willingly hop into my lap for attention. Now just like all boys who grow up, he's more interested in the ladies.
It took a good five minutes of swatting him with my shoe to get him to back off from me so I could see the other two. He kept doing this great show of flapping his wings(I guess this was supposed to scare me off?). He does look pretty bad ass though!
Look how tall Winston is! He probably comes up to my hip when he's standing tall like this. He wasn't mean at all and let me hold him as he was talking away. He even showed off his cock-a-doodle-do call!
Miss Gretchen was just the same and seemed so tiny compared to her boyfriends. She's a pretty little thing and seems to enjoy all the fighting and attention over her.
I miss those birds! But I'm thankful still that I get to go back and visit them to see how much they've grown. I can't wait till Gretchen starts laying eggs!

Smokes those birds are big! I can't believe how big they've gotten and so fast too. How far is the farm from your place?
