     The chicks didn't do much. All the chicks , excepting Ginger, have started to roost. That is almost all.
     Most of the chicks have started to want to roost. They love to just sit in your hand and sleep. ROOSTING ALREADY!
     All of my chicks are getting BIGGER already! They seem more brave, too. That is really all I have to say about my chicks right now.

     Today the chicks didn't really do anything exciting. Mostly, they peeped and pooped and slept. Not really anything exciting.
     My other friend came over and saw the chicks. She really liked them, especially Flo! The chicks were out for a while, well my friend was over. She got all the chicks to sit on her lap. That was the most exciting.
     Other than that the chicks just did the usual. The cats are, definitely Topaz,are waiting for a never served meal. That is really all.......

Chick Friendly Environment?

  And to answer your question, yes, we moved the chicks to a more "chick-friendly" environment.  :-)

   Today was my first full day with the chicks! Since my morning started out pretty busy, I just had time to clean the cage.
    This afternoon, after I got home, I went to visit my chicks. After the transfer the chicks had this morning, I wanted to see how they were doing! I came in and decided that the chicks had adjusted okay so I brought my friend over!
    My friend LOVED the chicks! After she left I went to spend some time with the chicks alone. I went in and took them out of the cage to hold. I got the idea that I could take the chicks out and let run around on the floor!
    I watched Polly, Ginger and Flo run around on the floor. My dad came into the room and started to play too! My dad and I tore up some Kleenex and let the chicks pick it up and carry it around in their mouths. Next, my dad took some long strings and pulled them around on the ground. The chicks ran after the one chick, Ginger, who had the string. Finally play time was over and the chicks got back in their box.

I couldn't wait to get my chicks! The day took for-ever! Finally the wait was over. I GOT MY CHICKS!
Today (already) I found out the chicks are a lot of work. They poop and peep and always need something! Sill though, they are very cute.
My chicks colors are: brown, brown and yellow. The chicks' names are Polly, Ginger and Flo. The chicks are peeping now.

Dear Miss Laura,
My chicks are happy. Bingo 1 is the shortest. Bingo 3 is the tallest, and Bingo 2 is not the tallest and not the shortest. Here are pictures of those three chicks.
