Week 4: They're Here

Although they are camera shy, the chicks are quite happy
in their new home.  They are friendly, quiet, and are known
as good layers.  

Ten Rhode Island Red hens are now living in the studio.  We found a picture frame box that is just right for them now.  I need to find out how much longer they have to stay indoors. They already have feathers and when we picked them up, one of them flew into Sharon's hair.  I think "we're gonna need a bigger box."

Livin' in a box.  Interestingly, this breed was first bred in
America in Little Compton, Rhode Island. We live in
Lecompton, Kansas.  For more fascinating reading check
