Our little friends have grown so much in this short month. They have officially grown out of the “ugly phase” and are now starting to look like grown-up chickens. They are still quite tiny but are definitely a lot bigger. They are starting to grow into their own colors, and are way easier to recognize.

They all are full of personality. Some of them ran straight towards the cage once they saw me walk over as if they were saying “who are you? And what are you doing in our cage?” Some ran over excitedly and were definitely saying “OMG A HUMAN!”.

A few of them followed me back and forth around the cage every time I moved- it really was the cutest thing ever. While most of them are extremely friendly there are a few of them who ran away and hid as soon as they saw me walk over to say hello to them.

Mr. Davies and his shop class have built the most amazing coop for these little babies. They have automatic food and water dispensers, warm areas for our friends to huddle up and sleep.

Today I was lucky to enough to be able to walk in the chicken coop and hangout with the chicks. It’s awesome to see how their personalities evolve while watching them grow into adults.

Some of the chicks love to get their pictures taken while others run away at the sight of a camera. Once they are adults they will produce 1-2 dozen eggs a day, these eggs will be either for sale or given to the students in Mr. Davies classes.

If taken care of well, these chickens will have a home at Greenport for 5-6 years. I can’t wait till they get their adult feathers and we can finally name these sassy chicks!

This clutch of 24 chicks includes many different breeds. While there is a variety of colors and breeds, each of them has their own unique personalities.

While I was taking pictures of these adorable chicks, they proceeded to peck at my camera. A few of the chicks ran over to me in excitement and others did not have a reaction to my presence. Some of these chickens have big personalities!

These chicks do not have names yet; we will be naming them once they get their adult feathers. There will be an opportunity for students to name them.

I got a chance to meet and play with them and might I say they sure are cute. They run around and make so much noise, it’s so adorable. They do not bite but instead like to run away. Almost all of their sizes are identical which is pretty interesting.

They are just starting to get in the “ugly phase,” which is when they start to mature. I am so looking forward to these beautiful babies growing up.
