They are a week old, already!

R. & I have been on full-on "potty duty," meaning we have been cleaning the brooder CONSTANTLY. Our babies have doubled in size since we picked them up last Wednesday morning. Some are much larger than others: Our big, dark chicks (which might be Austrolorps or Jersey Giants) tower over our petite Silkies. All are growing wing feathers.
Oh, and the hatchery made a little mistake. They sent NINE goofy, bantam (small sized) Polish birds instead of the TWO I ordered. It's like getting parakets.
