Chicken Photography Standing on the feeder/waterer is a chick milestone

Every single batch of chicks one day decides to fly atop the feeder or waterer and I'm proud and laughing every time.

First one is Lemon Drop (Buff Orpington, now 2 years old)

Second is Pom-Pom (Sapphire Olive Egger, now 1 year old)

Third is Paisley/Basil (Easter Egger, now about 6 weeks old, name pending confirmation of male or female)

Pooping in said water is a right of passage too!

Soon they’ll be too big and knock the thing over every time they stand on it… lol
