Chicks

The chicks hatched last weekend while I wasn't here
There are 11 of them and they look to be very happy. We didn't use the heat lamp this year, just the pretend chicken (which is a heated plate they can go under). They seem more relaxed with this, perhaps because they get to sleep at night - with the heatlamp it is light all the time. They like being able to pop under the plate when they are scared too.

Lots of other photos I see on the internet always have beautifully clean cages. They poo A LOT and it doesn't stay clean for more than a few seconds. People must time their photo taking well. Maybe they have a stunt clean cage for taking the photos in...
