They are growing up so fast!

One of the most surprising things to me about these chicks we have(along with how enjoyable they are) is how dang fast they change.  Once the feathers start coming in, they look more and more like chickens(well, duh) every day.

Talk about the evil eye...

Anyway...as the chicks grow, so does our experience.  For instance, we started out with one big box for the chicks, and using aspen shavings as the substrate.  Now, we have expanded them to a two room suite, and we are using easily siftable sand as substrate.

Look at how green I am, recycling like that.  I suspect that at some point, I will probably move that blue cooler over, and add a third room for them before they are ready to move into their outdoor home.  Sometime in the next week or so, I'm also going to need to figure out something to punch something through the walls that can act as roost for the chicks, because they don't always like sleeping on the floor.
