They're so cute! You haven't had any health problems? I've read a few horror stories about mail order chicks and eggs, but yours seem to be doing just fine.

NOPE NOT ONE THING! but when they first came i gave them fresh water with sugar in it for the first day..then second day i gave them water with electrolight + probiotic supplement... then 3rd day just fresh water.. not sure if that had anything to do with it.. but im sure it may have helped

Thank you very much! They are all starting to trust me and hop on my hand when i put it in.. I havent been holding them just putting my hand in every few hours for about 10-15 at a time.. sometimes with ground up oats in it and sometimes not.. but they just love to lay down in my hand now

Todays Entry: so I finally can tell whos the barred rock and whos the black australorp... lol my favorite two are both of them lol.. i love the barred rock a lil more.. she always hops right in my hand and lays down the moment i stick my hand in there.. if she isnt present when i put my hand in the black australorp climbs onboard... i think im gonna name the barred rock Charlotte... and the black australorp gypsy

Todays Entry: Okay so today is the beginning of week 2 of having the chicks...seeing as how their brooder box needed a good cleaning i decided for some odd reason to do half sand on a lower level and do the pine shavings on the other side (the upper level) why did i do this? no idea? being creative maybe? lol.... not sure..

It looks like you have the sand on the side with the water, is that helping with the dirty water problem?
