They were a little disturbed by the flash and started moving around a little bit but they figured it out and were all snuggled in when I just went out to check again. :love
Took some family photos lol
Sorry! Forgot to reply again! :hide
They really are cute aren’t they!? Gave them a big girl roost tonight lol
And oh wow lol yes I do get worried about and obsessed with their poop sometimes :lau I had one with pasty butt at first but she got over it
They’re a little unsure about their big girl roost LOL
And yes I’m going to come up with something more permanent but I just quickly cleaned the brooder and put new shavings down cause it was starting to smell a little funky (though that could be from the big girl side too. Will clean that...
For now here are some horrible ones from last night lol the flashlight then camera flash disturbed them but they were all snuggled up ha

I think TSC is done with chicks as they have all the stuff gone but the local feed store still has a couple more shipments this week and next week and they just got assorted feather footed breeds in this week and silkies next week and I’m really tempted to get more :hit
Their minimum is only 3...
They are so funny!! They make me laugh every day! Lol and I think it will! You can always pile more shavings or whatever you use for bedding underneath and/or make the cave lower so they can reach it. :)
Made the mistake of trying to change the cover on the chicks’ heating pad cave.... BIG mistake. Lots of angry “that’s not our mother!!!” chirping! When I put the old cover back on.... they all ran under :lau
