Chicks 14-16 Days Old Feathers Coming In

Chicks 14-16 Days Old Feathers Coming In

I have to admit, I got super tired of washing towels and decided that we had used the towels long enough---they were not going to get the bendy leg problem at this point.  Monday I switched to wood shavings that I only have to scoop up every two days.

The chicks LOVED scratching the shavings!!!






The other thing I added this week was a roosting bar.  They actually haven't loved it as much as I thought they would.  Usually it is only one bird up there at a time, so far.



Wednesday- Sixteen days old:
Boy, there have been some big changes in their feathers this week!  A lot of decorative feathers have come in, and they look like two birds combined---some birds more than others.
