Remember those baby chicks that arrived in the mail a few weeks ago? I went to visit them after lunch today at my friend's farm and was amazed how much they've grown: they're now the size of small crows. Their wings and tails have come in, and there's a weighted screen across the top of their trough because they've already started to fly.
My friend reports that the 28 birds are eating her out of house and home: they go through two large bowls of chick feed each day, and a full water container. They are still basking under a heat lamp, and they won't be transferred to the coop til they get considerably larger.
