Today Precious weighs in at 7.27oz. I may have to stop weighing her, since it's been an upward climb in weight since day one, so no issues with eating and drinking. The next challenge will come this next week, when I let them out of the coop brooder and into their new run for the first time. Will be interesting to see how she navigates the outdoor run, after being cooped up in only the brooder...the only world she has known. She will have to learn a new area to spend time in, and how to get out of and back into the coop.
I did discover that she doesn't like bright sunlight at all. I had her outside a bit, just to see how she would react, and she wanted to stay in my shadow. Whenever the bright sun was in her eyes, she would act strange...basically closing her eyes with her mouth wide open. Maybe it was painful? Her irises do work, so I would think bright light shouldn't be an issue, but I don't know.
