| Rhode Island Red and Golden Comet chicks at 4 weeks old. |

| This is our curious one. |
The differences in these photos from week to week are fun to see, though now that the chicks are nearly feathered, the main difference will be weight gain. They still look thin and scrawny, maybe that's why they're such good flyers. Each Golden Comet chick is developing a honey-brown ring of feathers around its neck. With temperatures in the 70's F over the weekend, we didn't feel badly about moving them to their outdoor coop, though we take them back to the brooder at night.
Fruit trees are looking great; we have a great cherry set and are still waiting to see about peaches. Strawberries and blueberries are just beginning to bloom, while apples and raspberries are finally breaking dormancy. The garden is in good shape, just a few weeks behind with this cool spring.
