Chikens on June 1st

The chickens run around the yard in cliques based on who they were raised with in the original brooder. Here's how I define them.

The big chicks: These are the original chickens (more boys than girls in this group) They all have traditional women's names. There are 11 chicks in this group, but only 4 girls.
 Natalie
 Nelson (was going to be Nellie)

 Milton (was going to be Millie)


The Little Girls: Just a group of 3.  They kinda hang with the big chicks, but for the most part do their own thing.  This group includes Effie, Katniss & Primrose

The Greenies: This group of 5 all have botanical names. Willow, Ivy, Lily, Clover & Lotus
 Here's Lotus & Clover

The Babies: This is a group of 7.  A couple of the original greenies are in this group because they were getting picked on.  This group includes Fern, Laurel, Skittles, Cupcake, Kiwi, Tater & Clementine.
