So, these Roosters are rowdy.

Now, the Merritt Chicks were comfortable with us and eating out of our hands within a week of us bringing them home. These Chix tho, man, they are flighty and feisty! They want nothing to do with the large hand coming in "after them" and run like the wind at the first hint of the top rising on their home.

This week, Sparrow got the Roosters, so we were hoping the hens would settle down a bit. After a few days of trying to get them to eat out of our hands, we FINALLY had some success!

Now, with the Merritt Chicks, we found random caterpillars and they LOVED chasing each other around to get them, they also loved the meaty treat.

Do the Caterpillar Crawl

So, seeing as how feeding these 18 mouths is getting somewhat expensive, we've decided to "grow" some worms.

Wish us luck, these things are gross. LOL
