Another week has passed and boy have those chicks grown!
Day 2 - Look at those wings! Just yesterday there wasn't a feather in sight!
Day 4 - starting to get some color on those feathers and maybe a bit of fluff starting a tail?
Day 6 - Wing feathers are taking shape and they're starting to scratch for food and chasing bugs. We had a minor issue on Day 7. A snow storm came through and left us without power for about 8 hours. It was a bit of a rush to get all the chicks into laundry baskets and around the wood stove to keep them warm without the lights. They fared well though and after a day of sleeping it off they were back to their chirpy, busy selves again.
Day 8 Feathers on top! And definitely showing some tail feathers too!
