She’s gorgeous! So far the chicks are curious and cute and I just want to cuddle them all!

they will get friendlier as they get older, before you know it they will run away from you, then they will run to you lol i just got in from my little ones and I had 7 that had jumped up onto my lap to cuddle i love it!! there was one on my chest, one on the shoulder 3 on one leg and 2 on the other

5 seems like a little, but as they get older they will seem like a lot, and they will eat alot too!!

you have lots to look forward to!

They already seem to at least be getting more comfortable with me around them. When I come in the room they don’t all run to the far side anymore! #progress

They learn who the bringer of the food is. If you take some bread and break it up in small enough pieces so that they won't choke on it, watch them go crazy for it. Not too much at one time though, because it's just considered a treat, not the food source.

with this last bunch of babies i didn't give them treats until they were outside and able to forage for grit.
babies eat their feed so well that i hate to teach them that there are other yummy things out there while they are still in the brooder, personally.

but if you do give it to them, don't forget the grit

So far I have been a no treats lady, because I’m lazy and I don’t have grit And they all seem to be doing so well that I don’t want to muck it up by mistake!

That one in the front almost look's like it has a full beard. I hope your hubby won't be jealous of it.

naming these 19 has been harder than i thought. There are a couple who look like each other and they don't stick out to me yet bc they aren't as friendly as the others, so i have 16 names and there are 3 poor chickies out there that haven't been placed a name to the face...
here's my list
Augie, Marshmellow, cheeta, pollyanna, tigger, winnie, cleo (cleopatra), pina (peenya), piper, rockie, Fuzzy, brownie, mocha, bella, guava, honey,

3 more to go.. lol

@meetthebubus What colors are the un-named ones?

 

[Catwest]

You’re doing better than we are! We’re 0 for 5, though, the hubs has been calling the splash Tootsie, so that will likely end up her name.

I’m also curious to see the 3 unnamed ones!
