preteen chicks

Well....our baby chicks are babies no more.  They're going through that weird preteen stage...  They can perch and fly now.  They knock over their water daily. They're so messy.  I can't wait until they move outside.  We've introduced them to their 3 big sisters, but only through the cage.  The big ones seem to care less.  I'm sure they'll care once they're sharing food!  They are sweet though.  I'm quite sure that Wendy (walking the balance beam) is the boss of this pair.  Queen bee, Ellie, may have met her match.
