NIGEL:
Okay, these chicks are psychotic. I change their water at least EVERY day & now there feeders TWICE A DAY!!! Wow they can eat! Almost through the 1st 50lb bag of feed. Anyway, they see me often, yet hen I go near the coop or start cleaning it or changing the feeders, one or more will decide "We are about to DIE!!!" (not yet anyway!). So that causes most of the chicks to take of in a directionaless spasm to various parts of the coop. This inevitably causes pine chips to get into the water (uugh!).... so I have to clean these out, which causes another irrational spasm, caused by one or more chicks. Interestingly, one to five chicks wont go with the rush??? Deaf, blind, tired or just plain TOUGH????
Being able to fly almost to the height of the coop & at least half the length, this makes water & food changes/cleaning a little more dangerous....
#46 is definitely one of the calmest chicks.
