[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 210385, member: 2459"] I was updating my mom on the chicks and she has some advice. When you build the nesting/lounging box (half enclosed, half lean too) be sure to make it so you can shut it up at night in case something manages to get in the McMansion. She said they also put part of an old broom handle in it for them to roost on. When they lost their first one it was because something managed to get into the enclosure and they had forgotten to shut the door on their nest. And if you give them anything like worms or even anything that looks like worms....be careful hand feeding them. Hers loved stuff like that and would sometimes confuse her fingers with the worms. She said about once a month she would get them some nightcrawlers. Mom also wants to know how your eggs turn out if you boil them when the chicks start laying. She could never get them peeled when she would boil hers. If you have any questions for her, let me know. I was telling her about the McMansion and she kept interrupting....well, does she know this.....they'll need to do this.....she seems to be very invested in the well being of the chicks! LOL [/QUOTE]
