As of today, we've had Jackie and Lisa for one week. Both chicks seem to be quite happy and thriving, and they are growing very quickly. As of today, they have some wing and tail feathers, and they've grown much taller and leaner. Here they are this morning by their feeder.



We'd better get to work preparing their outdoor coop and run. Dakota is planning to add a nest box area on one side of the coop. Then we'll need to create a fenced-in run so that they can hang out outside during the day, but still be protected from predators. Besides our neighborhood cats, we'll need to protect them from skunks, raccoons, foxes, coyotes and hawks. It's a dangerous world out there for Jackie and Lisa. But, I'm confident Dakota will make something safe and secure for them.
