They eat a lot at this ageSaturday 14th October 2023
Lilac and Popcorn are a month old today
The weather has taken a turn for FREEZING this weekend! It felt really cold today, and this evening is almost down to freezing! We'll have a frost overnight for sure. I changed the chick house bedding at bedtime today, and this poor chicks were chirping as they were cold! I put extra bedding and hay in them for to nest in, poor Lily could barely fit in there with it all!
I've not heard them begging Lily for warmth for a while now, so it must be very cold for them!
I was out all day, so only saw them in the morning and evening today, but they are all happy! Nugget and Lilac seem to have proper little tails now, super cute! They have feathers on their back now, just the head to go!
They DEMOLISH the bowls of chickcrumb mash I give them now, I need to top up several times a day!
