pay attention to your chicks; how they are acting is the best indicator of any problems.

We get our tomorrow as well!!

Spend lots of time with them, and you should also get something to entertain them. Like for example, hang a head of lettuce from the ceiling for some sort of "tether ball" game or for them to eat. You could also make a food puzzle, like those balls that have treats inside them. Lastly, you can create a jungle jim for them to roost and get some energy!!

I already did the roost thing my sister looked at me like I was crazy but I will definitely do that too
