These two have enjoying their roam time in the yard now that they have gotten beyond the fluffball phase. As you can see, their feathers are coming in and showing some of their adult color. Gracie has beautiful gray with red-lined feathers and a rose comb coming through. Sebastian is looking more female these days, but the final call can't be made for another month or so. S/he has lovely brown spotted feathers and a single comb but her feet are the best dainty pale little twigs. They are very curious critters and the scourge of Goldie, who tries to sneak in signs of her superiority whenever she can. When they are not roaming they spend their days in a dog crate outside and their nights in a laundry basket filled with shredded bills, which they seem to prefer over straw - last night they flew into the basket and hunkered down for the night without any hesitation.
O fer cuuuute! There is something about an animal trusting you, or using something you have provided, that utterly melts me.
