Today we messing with the chicks, and they are now almost a month old. They look very ugly at this point, they are in their inbetween stage from fuzzy to feather! We inspected each of them and handled them. Later we took a few out side into the grass to play. Shortly we brought a few of the chicks out to meet the ladies. The ladies weren't interested in them one bit, and the chicks began to forage a bit.
Sadly all the chicks have been growing really well, however all but one! We named her Quazi. She is one of the runts and we've noticed that her toes were slightly curled a bit as a young chick. We thought puting in a perch an allowing the chicks to perch would help with her toes but apparently she doesn't perch at all. Now her feet are full on deformed. She is a very sweet bird but I don't think she will be able to perch, so we'll have to make somehting for her. =(
