Oh so adorable, they are still peeping!

I can see how you could be apprehensive around your bantams. I didn't realize how small they were. The other girls look enormous compared to them!

Thanks for sharing that adorable video Ribh.

Oh, thank you! I was feeling so silly, but they really are soooo tiny.

What about crushing up egg shells finely. That can be used as grit too can't it? Or is it too high in calcium for babies?

Sadly, egg shells are too soft to be grit. They actually get ground up by the grit. Not to mention the excess calcium.

Thank you @Louwin. Despite having had chickens for years I have never done them so young before. The responsibility weighs on me...

You are going to be just fine. They are really not that different than POL. They are just more malleable to your wishes,.

My hairdresser said that she raised chicks once and carried them around in her bra! I don't think she meant actually stuffed in her bra, just sort of between her boobs and her shirt.

Well, you get the picture...

I'm not sure i want to picture that in my mind exactly. It's it OK if I don't?

This was really great Shad. Thanks for sharing. Now I understand i will change my behaviour. I have never handled them much in the first 2 weeks but i was led to believe daily contact was important. I will now let them just approach my hand and look forward to interacting with them more as they get older. I am learning so much this year. I love it.

See that @Shadrach . We appreciate your knowledge. Thank you for being you and sharing.

A live feed so we could watch them when we want would be great!
