Unless I go into their area, that picture was taken from the chicken side of the gate. It was warm 2 days in a row so I opened the door at their end of the alley each morning. They went out their "always open" door when I went to open the alley door. And when I went to close it, they went out that door and had to come back in the always open door.

Nice pics! I love seeing chicks/chicken/dogs/cats or any animals "sunbathing".

It's hard to beat chicks for cuteness. Tiny little balls of fluff, but with an agenda to eat and grow! You keep an interesting mix of breeds. I think it is more fun to keep a mixed flock, for all the different colors and feather patterns. It also makes it easier to tell them apart, LOL

Yep, and I still screw up. Got all the chickens behind the gate last night before going out to dinner. I swear I counted 15 (not including the chicks). Got home from dinner and Angel was at the gate, wrong side, and came to the car. 
I swear I counted 15!! Next time I better count to 15 AND make sure I have the right number of different colored or breed of bird.
Vienna seems to think she should be a pet or something. I went into the barn earlier and all the kids were together on their side of the chicken wire (which they can get under). She split from the group and came under the wire. I put my hand down and she hopped in.

Pictures of the "kids" at 3 weeks + 1 day
Their "enclosure" in the run is a chicken wire fence just past the open people door to the coop. As you can see, they don't mind being on the wrong side of it.
One of the Golden Campines is about as friendly as Vienna (the BR). She has a name, I just don't know what it is.
Here she is with Vienna hanging out in the open people door to the coop
The Barnevelder
Betty the Welsummer on the right, most of a Barred Rock on the left.
A bunch of the girls pecking at a door. I have no idea why

It wasn't supposed to rain at all this week, Mr NOAA said so as late as Monday afternoon and I watered the garden, waiting for most things to come up since they were planted recently. He changed his mind overnight and it rained a good part of yesterday. So much for mowing the lawn and planting more stuff yesterday. Will plant today but will wait until tomorrow to mow so the grass has a chance to dry some.
Need to vacuum dirt out of the pool and get the solar cover on. DW thinks she wants to use it at least once this month. She's the only one that will though, other than Sharky the thermometer.
All of 39°F overnight, supposed to get just over 70°F later this afternoon. Hopefully it will so I can open some windows and warm up the house.

Down poured here yesterday, I guess some parts (south of where I am) got hit with pretty severe thunderstorm and golf ball size hail. I haven't really planted anything outside yet, other than some lettuce and peas.

we are drying out from the rain we got Monday, our garden will have to be tilled again before planting...
