Chicks are 5 weeks old!!!

Our 7 chicks are growing fast and quick. They are consuming their food quickly and has taken a LOVE to bread.

We also had a few busybody chicks, always wanting to know what's out there!





































Craig had put in a new perch for them and the chickies are showing their gratitude quick!



You can see Stripy standing up and Little sitting down. Little couldn't sit on the perch because of its feet.

Presenting some of the noisy buggers!

 One white with black feathers with no comb


This might be a part bantam. it has feathers on its feet. It has the best hairstyle among the 7 of them and I called it Elvis.




Stripy is now bigger as well and its watermelon body is over taken by its feathers. You can still see the stripe on its eye.


Little was the one born 2 days little, at week 3 we discover it's feet is deformed. Little can't sit on a perch so it's always sleeping alone, laying down. 





Today, we bought saw dust for the chicks because they keep eating their own poo and it stinks! They loved the saw dust once we put it in. It's soft on their feet and 2 white chicks start dusting themselves madly!
