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.
