How cute!!!!

Thanks! Of course, three days later, they didn't look like that anymore. Now they don't look like chicks, they just peep like chicks, except they're also learning to cluck and squawk. But they look like grown chickens only smaller, all feathered out and VERY busy.

Yes, it is crazy how fast they grow! I caught an almost horrible mistake yesterday before it could become too bad. I thought I had taken all the zip tie leg bands off of my hatchery babies and only have them on my hatched babies, so those I was "changing out". However, I was just sitting there watching them and thought, what is that thing on her leg. Turns out 3 of the hatchery babies still had the zip tie and it was starting to cut into their legs. I got them off just in time to prevent real damage, they are all doing well now. Not sure how I over looked that

I'm sure your birds have already forgiven you, and are grateful to your assistance!
