chicks in the shade
These two chicks were in "sick bay" which consisted of living in a box in the house at night, being given cream to drink on and off throughout the day, being fed carpenter ants found around the house, and hanging out in the garden bed by the front door getting fresh air and eating fresh greens at least a week before their counterparts were even let out of the coop into the chicken yard for the first time. they liked hanging out under this mushroom in the shade.
They're better now and back in with the others. we're hoping they don't tell the others how good being in sick bay was or they all might want to be there!
