Well the past few days have been adventurous!!! 8 chicks, 5 keets. All hatched on 8-18.
A while ago the black chick started flapping his wings a getting a bit off the gorund when he/she was startled. A while ago, the black chick and some of his/her compatriots started flapping/hopping out of the brooder. So into a rubbermaid tub for them that had higher sides. Then little black chick began to hop on top of the feeder and start stretching his head up the tub side to look out.
Today, the remaining chicks (all yellowish) began their little hop out of the brooder. When it was apparent that the hopping/flapping wasn't a fluke, they got transferred into a rubermaid tub.
Well the keets huddled together and just would NOT stop this shrill calling. So even though the keets weren't hopping out of the brooder, I divided them in half and put them into the two tubs. Now every one is happily eating and quiet.
Sheesh!! It wasn't like the keets were lonely, there were 5 of them together there.
And our little white chick from the first batch has BLUE feet!! How strange, any ideas?
Imaignethat!
