Appreciation for awkwardly adorable chicks

[swamphiker]

I just want to post a little love for how adorably awkward chicks look as they grow in their feathers. Below is one of my 3-4 week old Australorps. I think the combination of the black feathers and the white down makes them look like they are wearing a little tuxedo or are maybe pretending to be a penguin. Yes, I am playing with my chicks when I should be working on the spreadsheet in the background.

Please reply with pics/stories of your cute and awkward growing chicks!
