Today, Mummy and Daddy decided it was time for my little chicks to meet their aunties in the big run. No sooner had Daddy opened the door than my little darlings were out and busy exploring and pecking and looking for food. Adorable !
Lucy seems very fascinated with my babies and sits for ages outside the fence wagging her tail looking at them. I do get worried sometimes though when she starts licking her lips

Derek and Diana came to visit tonight to have a look at my chicks. They are good friends of Mummy and Daddy and were neighbours when M & D lived at their previous house.
I let them both hold one of my babies and you can see in the photos how much they enjoyed having a cuddle with the chicks. Derek also fed the other girls some corn?for an evening snack but we weren't allowed out to join in, not fair
Everyone then retired into the house for a warm cup of tea, lots of cream cakes and a cuddle up with Toby and Lucy.
I can't believe how quickly the chicks are changing. Their wing feathers nearly look like mine?now and their tail feathers are starting to show as well.
It must be all the food they are eating as I can't keep them away from it !
Here is another video showing them coming down for breakfast this morning. Notice the tail feathers are now starting to show.
And a further video of Daddy feeding me some corn.

My little chicks are now 1 week old and they are growing up fast !
Their little wings are developing really quickly and have feathered out very well. The chicks have really mastered going up and down the ramp although they tend to fly up and down now 
Tonight, we had more visitors to see my babies -?Chris, Kate, Rachel and?Lily.
Mummy?also did another video of the chicks munching their way through some food. Can you see how their wing feathers are really developing ?
