Our chicks have grownup enough to call them pullets, young hens that haven't yet laid eggs. They are healthy and enjoyable. The seem to peck at everything in their brooder. The brooder is now at 70 degrees during the day. We are getting them ready to go to their outdoor coop. We bring them clover, dandelion, and an occasional worm. They love grapes and laying together in the afternoon. When they are not resting or pecking. You can often find one or two of the pullets roosting on the edge of the brooder. When it is okay with Tr. Jen, we allow the pullets to jump to our legs and we can pet them. They still poop a lot and make a fuss occasionally. We love them and are very proud to have them in our classroom.

| The pullets have been raised by these third graders. |
 |
| The are very comfortable being petted while sitting on someone's leg. |
 |
| See how much I have grown! |
 |
| Cole has a knack for being just quiet enough or gentle enough for our pullets to easily come to him. |
 |
| It is strange at first to have a pullet on your leg. |
 |
| But you get used to it and soon it feels normal. |
