post office called this morn. i was scared to death it would be silence from the box. they were NOISY. i was shocked how small the box was - how on earth did they stay warm enough to get here?
dipped everyone's beak in the (warm) water & some i dipped more than once. they were all screaming their heads off & promptly moved under the light. after they got warmed up they started moving about. mean little brats - pulling on each other's feet. i had to break up a couple of fights. then they started yelling again. sprinkled feed over the floor - quiet. they were hungry. put the feed tray in. they are pigs.
should i let them free feed? it's like i can't remember details.
boy, they're a handful. i was worried some weren't finding the water. put a marble in it - problem solved. hah!
i wonder what they think about that face staring @ them. they look like they need entertainment to keep them out of trouble with each other.
