Chick update

The chicks seem to be growing by the hour, but there is a distinct difference in the growth of the EE's and the other three which are heritage breeds.  I added a mini perch and a sand box for them today.  The sandbox is them to eat and scratch.  Since birds don't have teeth, grit is required to help break up food in the crop.
Notice the wing feathers and the start of tail feathers.
