They're all doing well, but LC was one of those grabbing tidbits between the hens!

Right in the middle of its nestmates, not a crybaby anymore.

I've been continuing to add electrolytes and vitamins to their water, and I also feed the chicks scrambled or chopped hard-boiled eggs daily, for extra protein!

Glad things are going well and the chicks are active/moving about.

I kind of figured you may see a change in behavior(s)...

Chicks grow so fast.

They're fluttering around, no more walking around the coop!

Grapes have been consumed, now it's time to scratch and find spilled crumbles. The chicks are checking out some weeds I pulled and offered. And Martha's keeping the other hens on their toes.

Chicks had their first taste of ripe tomatoes tonight, mixed with chopped hard-boiled eggs. I made sure to toss some inside the brooder, and Martha led them in to enjoy without being harassed!
