Roosters find a voice

This is a 27 day old chick.





The difference between the boys and the girls is getting even more obvious.









The chicks are becoming more independent spending more and more time off in small groups.

During the day Angelina's and Alice's chicks mingle together and only separate off when it's time to sleep.

Some still like a snuggle with their mum though -- usually sooky little roosters.



Our 10 week old roosters are trying out their voices in the mornings now which is very funny to listen to.  When Simon crows, they copy.  Now that we are moving to a house with a much bigger garden we can keep those little boys. There will be a great photo of them in the Feb/March edition of Green Magazine (http://www.greenmagazine.com.au/).





Alice spent most of today in a small tree.  She was behaving a bit strange, like she was frightened of something. 


But she did come down to eat so whatever it was is couldn't have been too serious.
