It's a lot of work managing chicks and ducklings at the same time! Too young to be outside with the harsher elements, we currently have them in separate giant Sterilite tubs in our upstairs bathroom.
We have three white crested Polish chicks (two black and one blue) among our current chick crew. They were the first to start growing their wings (I was shocked by the wingspans on these little guys!!)...and they quickly set out exploring their surroundings.
Meriwether was named after being found under a pile of ducklings during an early expedition:
Now all three Polish chicks like to sit up on the ledge and spy on the ducklings (when we leave their door open). We named Meriwether's twin Lewis. Here they are peering over at their web-footed cousins:
Here is a picture of Angel peeking in with Lewis:
Lewis and Meriwether, again. Having a sidebar:
I am starting to wonder if we should have named them Statler and Waldorf...
