The Brooding of Allie, Casey and Latte

[Debs Flock]

She wriggled a lot and cheeped loudly but when we started talking to her she calmed right down. Cannot remember how many tries it took to get that particular pic. So much cute in such a tiny little package.

I can barely handle it this time around. These guys will get their naps in and as soon as we peek around the corner in our kitchen and start talking to them, they'll come racing up to the mesh opening and start cheping to be let out. When we pick up anything near them, they tilt their heads and check out what we are doing. This set of 'lings seems way more curious, interactive and social than even our "puppy ducks" Noir + Mystique. And they hung out with us as soon as we got home from work.

As to your question a few pages back if the little girls squirm when I give them kisses, I'd have to say no, not really. I take them out of the brooder and kiss their little heads. When they go to sleep on the blanket with us, whichever body part is available gets a kiss. They don't care - maybe they can sense that they're safe and loved. They even get head and cheek scritches from us and don't try to get away. I love this right now. Just wish they wouldn't grow up quite so quickly... Going back to work next week will be extra tough.

I was just thinking that it might be tough for you going back to work. You'll be able to see the babies on the camera that's in the brooder, right? I know it won't be the same.

Many thanks to both you & Tony for sharing them with us.

AGAPE GASP CHOKE AAAAAHSOME aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh THEY ARE SO CUTE AND YVONNE GETS TO KISS THE LITTLE SOFTIES OF ALLIE LATTE AND CASEY. PLEASE PEOPLE, NOTE THEIR WEBS. FACES, BILLS AND WEBS, AGAIN.

I KNOW I REPEAT MYSELF ON HERE ABOUT THE WEBS ALL THE TIME. BUT.....NOTE!!!

Julie, I promise you that Tony and I notice the cute every day. I'm also certain that all the 'ling fans on this thread do not overlook that fact, either.

Impossible to do that since you have new pics to hyperventilate over each day.

And the stretched out web that we have dubbed "comfy foot" appears every time the 'lings cuddle up for their naps.

Aww thank you! Yes being a responsible working stiff will be nearly impossible

but I will make sure to peek at the brooder cam often.during the day . You are so welcome!

It's easy to show off the babies here. You "get" the excitement over the teensiest detail. That makes it even more fun.

You aren't supposed to be concentrating, you're supposed to be here kissing fuzzy heads.

(Believe me I know life gets in the way sometimes - either next week or the week after I will have to leave town for ??? days so Yvonne will have to get all the joy herself.

)

Love ya too JB.

Well it has been nearly a week that we have had the 'lings (tomorrow around 5:30am would be dead on, but close enough). I thought I would take a special photo for perspective:

One week ago:


Today:


An interesting item... When we clean out the brooder (it only takes about 2 minutes before it is ready for the 'lings to go back in with new towels and a single water drinker - then we get the rest of the work done with them in the brooder) we put them in a box not much bigger than this and they stay in it calmly. When I put them in this box they were scrambling to get out of it. I wonder if they thought they were going to get shipped again and maybe that wasn't a great idea as far as they were concerned...

It's absolutely amazing and good example of just how much they have grown. I am in love with them and they preciousness

What type of electrolytes do you use? Also, where did you get the Brewers Yeast?
