Yes, they have gotten almost double in size. So the brooder that made them look so small is now not large enough.
How did we figure that out? One chick flapped her little wings so much she was on the top rim looking around. Buddy, Ali, Bogart and I started running and barking. Buddy and I weren't really barking but yelling and flapping our arms to try to catch her before the ground.
We had thought 2 weeks before a full size brooder would be needed. Just like children, They proved us wrong :.)
So Buddy built the new larger brooder
Now the babies are flapping across the entire length. Crawling up the multi level roost. Of course they don't realize that they should sleep on the roost. Wonder how Buddy will teach them that lesson? Any suggestions???
