The one above has named himself Quasimodo because he had a mysterious lump on his neck that appeared yesterday but now seems to have gone away. I am worried something might be wrong. We are keeping our eye on him. I think the others might be pecking on him. He is the smallest of the black chicks. We still are not sure what kind they are.
You can see they are starting to get feathers on their wings.
Tomorrow we will take up the pads and newspapers and they will get to revel in their pine shavings for the first time.
And you can see how they climb inside the feeder. If I needed proof that they are growing this was it. The fayoumis (red headed guy above) have been small enough to crawl in and out of the feeder and even like to sleep in it, but today this one got stuck inside. By tomorrow (hopefully) they won't be able to get inside it any more.
