Week 2

Week two with the chicks was a blast. Each chick is starting to show her own unique personality, and I think myself, my friends, and my family have all decided on names: Gizmo, Miss Ellie, Ariel, Nugget, Lisa Jean, and Rocket. I've moved the chicks into a larger cage because they are getting quite good at flying (gliding), and I've learned to elevate their waterer and feeder so that they do not get pine shavings in either one. Gizmo is the most outgoing bird right now--she will sleep on my lap for over an hour if I take her out at nighttime (or anytime really). Rocket likes to fly out of the cage when I open up its side door, too. I've been debating whether or not to build or buy a chicken coop...we'll see what I decide.
