I got more chicks!!!

they're growing so fast.
I almost lost the little black chick with the white dot on day 3. I found her out from under the mamma heater looking cold and lethargic. I warmed her up but she still looked dazed and wouldn't eat or drink.
I kept dipping her beak in water and waited for her to die.:hit
Then I got a great idea. I raise meal worms so I put the little sick chick in the baby meal worm bin. She just cried. so I put another chick in with her and it went crazy for the tiny meal worms. She got the idea and ate 2 worms.
The other chick ate so many I took them both out and put them back in the brooder. After a while the little black chick snapped out of it. The next day you couldn't even tell she was ever sick.

The mystery packs sound like a lot of fun. We ordered 9 standard mystery from Ideal. Wound up with 3 RIR, 3 Production reds and 3 (more) Barred Rocks. The extra that didn't make it looked like a Production red. Real fun playing "what are you?", isn't it?!?

I am tickled with RIR. Very pretty birds.
