One Week Update

Testing out perches! Chicks like to roost too!
"Feathers is the largest of the chicks and seems to be in charge, Popcorn is the lightest and almost as big, and Fluffy is the smallest and darkest."

"All the chicks are doing well!  They have started trying to fly around the brood box!  Pep seems to be the boss, Dandelion is the most curious and friendly, and Slush eats a lot 😊 They all sleep in a row every night.  Pep has the smallest wings, Slush and Dandelion have bigger wings and have started to get their tail feathers, too.  Chicks poop a ton!  We are enjoying them and write a journal entry every night about them in our journals."

Foster Chick Care 2017!

Check out the names of the new baby chicks!

Amber Ruby Olivine
"The chicks are fun!  They are way bigger and very happy. Olivine does not like being held.  Ruby and Amber will very happily roost on my hand.  They like to climb on their food dish.  One of my cats is afraid of the chicks but my other two cats are very interested.  One even lays down next to the box and watches them."
