Slick chick

[slick chick]

I just started today. I don't have a clue as to the breed of chicks I have. They are black. I think they will be speckled when they get their feathers. There are four of them. I think I need to get a larger box, so they aren't so crowded. The box I have now is a large paper towel box. I am trying to read up o the care and survival of chicks. My chicks are organic and I want to keep them tat way.
