Penny, Bonnie and Molly on June 26, 2014

 

Here were the girls last night...  Eating, again.  Well, they have a lot of growing to do in the next few months so it makes sense.  The night before last we invented something really great for the girls.  It's a chance for them to stretch their legs and wings, get stimulated, explore and forage...  We call it, "towel time".

As you can see, the concept is quite simple.  An ordinary towel is laid out on the bed (to catch their many poops) and the chicks are placed on top.  At first they just stand there, confused, but within moments the fun begins.  Here you see Penny, discontent to simply forage for crumbles like her sisters.  She is on her way to explore new, unchartered territory.

 Pecking at the crumbles we've sprinkled out for them.  Notice Penny in the background now going off to explore in the other direction.

 

 Chris sprinkles out more crumbles for the chicks.  Pecking and scratching ensue.

 

Foraging...
