Pics of the girls from yesterday...

 We had to move "towel time" to the floor after we had a poop incident on our bed.

 Check out the gams on Molly.  Chris calls her Big Foot.

 Penny, checking me out.  All three girls are very suspicious of the camera, but especially Penny.

 Pecking and pooping.

 Foraging.

 We noticed their butt feathers are getting longer, so I tried to get a lot of shots of those.

 But also, their butts are super cute, so I probably would have taken the pics regardless.

Gossip at the water cooler.

I had hoped to take a pic of them from the same angle at the feeding dish every day, so it would be easier to gauge their growth, but I realized last night that I need to let go of that dream.

Other things we observed of them yesterday...

Pine shavings might not be the best material to use at the bottom of their crate.  It's constantly in their food and water.

Chickens do not avoid stepping in their own poop.  Not even a little bit.

Chris is concerned that Molly is actually a rooster because she seems more aggressive than the others.  I remain hopeful that it is just because she is the oldest of the flock.  

Bonnie's wings have gotten longer in the last few days and now reach to the end of her body.  She's also sprouting some feathers across her shoulders.  

Penny definitely seems to be the smartest in the bunch.
