SIX NEW CHICKS!  Saturday we got 6 new Red Star chicks at Tractor Supply on our way home from picking up my new bed!  On the way home I named 1 Pinky Pie Marble Shine and she's spoiled!  She peeps and peeps and peeps and peeps until somebody comes and picks her up (sometimes she's quiet). 

 
The chicks are about a week old and we moved them into the indoor brooder box (in the kitchen) and Sunshine, Lulu and Sunny moved to . . .
 

- - - a large dog kennel on the floor.  The first night, Lulu roosted on top of the water bottle all night!  The second night, they all slept together on the floor.  They seem happier now, Sunshine spends most of her time roosting, Sunny has just been dusting on the floor and Lulu does everything.  We took them outside last week a couple of days when the sun was shining and let them stay in the greenhouse a while.   We are hoping to move them outside as soon as spring arrives!
