Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

[SkyAJK]

I caught everyone and stuffed them into their shipping box (boy that was an adventure lemme tell you) so I could make some adjustments to the brooder this afternoon.

Added a bit of fresh wood pellets to under the brooder plate and stirred things around. Raised the plate up a little. Pulled off the cardboard blocking at the far end of the brooder because no one is small enough to fit thru the bars down there, not even Q-Tip (Polish and smallest). Added a nipple type waterer so they can start figuring that out because that's all the adults have available in the run.
Then checked leg bands and removed/replaced a few and took everyone's photo.

#1 - Gimpy (GQ)...who is still gimpy but managing to get to food and water ok.

I go out to the coop and can get totally lost just standing there watching them do chick things. Until my feet, knees, back or something starts whining at me for standing too long!

Also, I'm happy to take name suggestions for the ones still needing a name.

I'm totally down for either quirky or sci-fi names!

Awwww, but she already has a name, she was named after a favorite Star Trek captain. At first I thought I would stick to a 100% sci-fi naming theme but that quickly got nixed when Gimpy and Chonky got named lol.
