Its hard to get them all in one pic!

The pic makes that chick look more yellow than it is. Its actually got a lot of silver in it. Platinum blonde? Lol

What do we do next? I have 4 babies so far. They are sleeping a lot right now. Is that normal? They are in the brooder all snuggled up sleeping. They wake up every once in a while and chirp and go back to sleep. They've been in the brooder for about 3 hours...Just wondering if this was what they were supposed to be doing.

I'm sure they're fine. They're just pooped! Hatching takes a lot of work. Congrats on the babies!

When do I introduce them to food and water? I have it in the brooder but have not shown it to them.
