MPC - Six chicks arrived today - pix

they are loving the mirror! I am a bit concerned about one of the EE as she has lost neck feathers today (and came that way) stress? I think she and others were pulling out feathers (stress?). maybe other things causing it? BUT she is still doing all she should be doing - eat, drink, play, poop. Mid day I tried to clean/wipe down her neck area. Initially when I put her back in with the other girls they pecked at her, but that does not seem to be an issue so much. Now they are doing okay. We keep checking in them a LOT. Tomorrow I will try to clean a bit more. The parts I got cleaned have puffed up, which is nice to see. uff da. stressful! But they seem to be doing all okay...I just need to make it through my first night as a new chick mama.
