Just because they are still very much in the cute phase, and because I changed out the pine shavings.

33 week-old chicks |

close up of some of the week old chicks |
We sent our neighbor her 25 chicks ... although we may have miscounted and sent over 27 instead. No big deal, as the hatchery sent 7 extras, and we have only lost two chicks, so that is 33 week-old chicks in the brooder tank. They are still growing like weeds, which has a down side in that they are still doing their run-flap-jump routine on each other, which is how we lost the second one yesterday, to general young chick rambunctiousness.
Hubby will be building a chicken tractor so we can start scooting them around the yard to eat grass and bugs once they get enough feathers grown in.
