Chickens and a coop–#2, and other egg-type things

This is about 5 weeks old:

here we are at 6 weeks old.  This is their last day in their box (which they are obviously too big for now, and incidentally is not a small box.  I bought it to hold our huge 18’ vinyl swimming pool)

first night in the coop

And today at 7 1/2 weeks old.
