We’re getting some outside time today. I LOVE watching “Chick TV”. LOL
I can’t beleave how big they are getting! We incubated 12, 11 hatched. Variety of mixed breeds, we have one full yellow chick, two yellow with a touch of black and the rest are dark.

I’ll add a question too now that I’ve had time to sit, watch and enjoy a beer during chick tv. They chased a few ants (hilarious) and have been pecking around.....should I put a little dirt in their brooder when I return them to ensure they have access to some “grit” substance? I’m not sure how much they are eating but don’t want to worry.
 
I’ve read that you should pull up some grass with a bit of dirt on the roots for them. They’ll peck the dirt off and play with the grass.
