baby chick update

chicks-2009-05-22-01.jpgWell it’s been a little over a week since the chicks arrived and they are all doing well. As you can see from the photos, their tail feathers and wing feathers are growing out and they are becoming more exploratory. Most of them can now fly well enough to get onto the white step stool. We’ve also been feeding them some treats such as greens from our garden and the occasional cutworm or ant. We didn’t do this with our first group of chicks but this time around we figure this is what they’d be eating in the wild or as free rangers so it can’t be bad.
