The chicks now have a
training roost that I built and they love it. The Leghorn was first to jump right on
and take it for a test drive. I
still haven’t seen the Faverolle use it, but that bird is definitely different
from the rest. It seems to be
developing at a slower rate than the others which I’m told is normal for heritage breeds. I added a
supplement to their food and also got them some freeze dried mealworms. They
love it! I’m trying to get them to learn that I am the bringer of food and win
their trust. They will all eat out of my hand except the Faverolle who seems to associate me with a wet butt
now.
The little leghorn scared me
last night. I took her out to feed her some meal worms and she sneezed several
times. I wonder if she has a cold. I added electrolytes to the water today and they all seem to be acting
normally so I’m just going to keep an eye out.
