    ... you are now a chick treat. [​IMG]

    30 seconds of chick pandemonium. One of my BOs got it and was running in circles at 200mph.

    I once had a fly land in one of my brooders, those poor chicks were scared to death of it! [​IMG]

    [​IMG] I've had a cricket living in my brooder with 3 japanese bantam chicks for nearly 24 hours now and they are scared to death of it [​IMG]

    It's entertaining, I think I'll leave it in there for another day or so [​IMG]

    I used to give mine live worms. They would each grab a worm and spend the next 5 minutes running around with it, eventually they got around to eating it - but I think the running around part was almost as good as the eats. [​IMG]

    Make no mistake. That bug was food. It had about 1 second to make an escape. ...for being a week old, these girls mean serious business.

    First day I had them (and they were a little over a day old) a fly made a pass at the brooder, and ALL of them stopped to watch. One BO made a jump at the fly! Very funny.

    Can't wait to get them outside for some play time. [​IMG]

    Our Fayoumi would allow us to carry her in our arms, and she would snatch flies out of mid-air. It worked quite well when we unfortunately were out of town for weeks, and returned to find a fly problem in our house. I was disgusted, but Ray took care of it swiftly and easily....it was the coolest thing (normally they don't come in the house though)
