Well the new chicks arrived last Thursday morning. They were hatched and shipped on Tuesday. All arrived safe and sound. The box that Kenny came home with was full of little chirps. We promptly dunked all their beaks in water and that is all it took, all 16 chicks figured out how to eat, drink and poop. They also soon learned that Rosey the Wolf Dog would guard their every move. But that is OK because she also breaths hot air on them to help keep them at a toasty 95 degrees.
Also during the one week and one day that the chicks have been here G has decided that the white Ameraucana is the one that he wants as his own. She is very calmed compared to the others. His favorite thing to do is carry her around in the hood of his sweat shirt. She will also sleep on his arm while he walks around with her. She also likes to pretend to fly while sitting on G's a hand. It is the funniest thing. We say that Rosey thinks she is a human, well this little chick thinks she is a "lap dog."
