Great Mathematicians

My chicks are great mathematicians! I know this because they multiplied.

From some of the things I read, I was worried about the chicks drowning in their water dish, so I decided just to use a deepish lid for their water and check it frequently. It worked fairly well, but I was having to fill it every hour and they were pooping in it, too. I got tired of having to clean the dish so frequently, so I went to IFA on Tuesday to buy a waterer. While I was there, I couldn't resist buying two more chicks to finish off my flock. I'm not sure what breed these new two are. They look a bit like the Aracauna chick, but then again they don't. They are black and orange and they have feathers on their feet. They are slightly younger than the others, but they are so cute!





All the chicks are growing sooooooo fast! I can already see that they are getting bigger. They aren't going to be able to stay in the plastic tub I have them in much longer. Yesterday when I was cleaning up their tub, I put them into the box that we brought them home in. They hardly fit and one of them could almost see over the edge of the box. How do they grow so quickly?

These are pictures of the new arrivals. I'm so glad I spread out the newspaper on the floor. One of them left evidence behind.
