Chicken Accommodations

It's been a while since the last post. This chicks are now about 3 times bigger than they were when we bought them! As you can tell, bigger chicks means bigger accommodations. After a while, the chicks began to learn how to fly. They were escaping the box quite often, so our dear friend Emily decided to get them a larger space. We also had a mediocre bulb (which eventually burnt out) and we were borrowing one of the science teachers lamps. Emily was gracious enough to buy us a heating lamp for the chicks, as the white light messed with the chicks sleeping schedule. This is what the set up looked like after Emily upgraded their tiny accommodations:
The New Accommodations - Outside

The New Accommodations - Inside
As you can see, the chicks did not have a legitimate food or water dispenser (broken), but we got new ones. (There was a screen on top of the box, but it was taken off for the photo.) There will be more photos to come!
