You will be able to see them in that!

You will be able to see them in that!

And even better: They will be able to see their surroundings and thus be less fearful and much more relaxed!

Ok, So cup of coffee #2, I picked them up, they all were in great shape, set them in the sink, everyone got a hiney check & beak dip, they all drank and ate, and then to the brooder they went. I kept the dogs out of the kitchen until the chicks were settled. I stuck my head in the crate and let the chicks come close, they did great. they ate and drank more, snuggled to sleep. I didnt want them to pile so I tipped the plate for a while, And, yes Ziva was a pain in the toot!!! Tony, he looked at them and just went to lay down.









As of this minuet, they are peeping and eating

So, how about some turkey bacon and eggs with sourdough toast? and MORE coffee!!
