Snapshot Saturday - The Goddesses are 16 weeks!

I has been a beautiful day here at Our Haven - clear blue skies and just enough of a breeze to keep thinks cool. Temps only got to the high seventies.  SO, how did I spend my day - doing curriculum work on the deck with a FABULOUS view of the  river.  Every so often the Goddesses or Dingle Twits would come by for a visit.

I'm really torn between letting them free range and having to hose down the deck every morning or afternoon before I can use it, but they seem so miserable when I don't let them out.


Today's Snapshot Saturday is in honor of the Goddesses - they're 16 weeks today and really beginning to look like grown up hens. 

Artemis at two weeks

at a week ish
Ariadne at 15 weeks

at two weeks

Hera at 15 weeks
We had to put Eris in "chicken jail" at least 4 times in the first few weeks.
She's finally settled down - only causes chaos for the Dingle Twits now. 



Eos, above, heading for some shade.

 You want to sit here? 


Never too far apart from eachother - 

Ganymede on the perch
 I can hardly believe I used to be worried  because she was half the size of the others.

Not anymore . . .
Now she's as big as Hera. 

I caught this one just in time: 
 "You won't BELIEVE what the Dingle Twits did next."

Did you guys say something? 


The last two photos were too good not to post. If nothing else, keeping chickens is good for lowering the blood pressure.
