The Buffs look so huge now when they fluff up their feathers. I can almost imagine them full sized. Almost.
We put them out in the run now sometimes during the day and they go crazy over all the entertainment: fresh leaves, insects, soft dirt, vegetable parings from the kitchen. Heady stuff.
I hadn’t realized they would spend time resting, settled into the dirt, when there was so much to do, but just like every creature, I suppose, they have to have some down time.
And of course I can’t let you go without another shot of my saucy Buff:

soooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like the saucy one. she’s super cute!! so the chickies stay in their pen most of the time still? is that because they are still so young?
We love our buffs – best chickens ever
Cori–They really do seem like the most chilled out of the three breeds I have.
Corinne–They are in the run and the coop all the time now that they 2 months old. I guess I started with this when they were about 5-6 weeks old. I can’t let them run totally free because of predators. The run is pretty big.
acv2–Thank you, ma’am!
Mine love resting and bathing in the dirt, but MAN(!) they are eating all my broccoli and cabbage leaves!!
