They are adorable! Genius about the heat pack.They're here! Brown face in front is the EE, penguin is OE (with a hint of feathers on shanks), gold is a GSL, and there is a barred Rock in back. Rock and GSL are a week old, the EE and OE are newly hatched. They all seem happy/healthy. I was sad that there was a problem with the Welsummer hatch but I just went back to what I'd originally planned and it will be fine. The adults are VERY interested in the sounds next door. I held a couple of them out for inspection and nobody tried to eat them. So, that's promising.
OH, and I remembered my shipping heat pack. I had an expired 40 hour and figured it couldn't hurt to bring it, I opened and wrapped it in a microfiber washcloth before we left. The drive is 45-60 minutes and I would rather be prepared than listen to that much distress peeping. It was brilliant, they got right up on that washcloth and napped.
Yes but the microfiber washcloth was not so good. It collected an absurd amount of shavings and they don't shake off.
