Chicks at 24 days

We have had the chicks for 24 days now, every day they are outside in small runs with their broody. They have doubled in size, adult feathers are forming on the back and wings and the comb is developing also you can see the start of the tail feathers.

They are becoming much more active and are exercising their muscles with mini flights., they take a run up and flutter their wings till they take off 6'' and land in a heap.
