New Girl Update

The baby chicks are about four weeks old. I'm looking forward to moving them outside in a few weeks as the basement is starting to smell no matter how clean I keep their box. Also, they are clogging up their waterer faster than I can unclog it.

They aren't very fond of us yet.  I handle them at least once a day, but it's completely terrifying for them.  At least the part where I pick them up.  If I let them perch on my hand or the rocking chair downstairs, they're a bit happier.  I tried buying their affections with some plain yogurt.  No luck.  I'll have to keep trying treats until I find something they like.
