Baby Chickens! ^_^

Sadly, only 2 baby chicks surviving of the 7 which I rescued from the feed store last week that did not look like they were doing well. These two are eating and drinking well now, and growing. The buff colored one was in fact the first one I expected to die, because in the trough in the store, it was on its back with feet in the air for at least the 10 minutes between when I checked on it and then came back to check again. It had an acorn sized clump of poop and bedding stuck to its behind and was being pecked on its feet and head by the other chicks. It would not stand up like the others when I tapped on the side of the trough. But after cleaning it up and giving it individual attention, it's bounced back very well and survived, when some of the others whom I thought had better chances did not. I think the yellow one is a Bantam, if their labelling at the store can be trusted, and the other one has the feathers around its feet and 5 toes, and I think it's a Sultan or maybe a Silkie cross because while it has the feathered feet and 5 toes, it doesn't have black skin. IDK if that changes as it gets older, but its skin is kinda gray right now. Not yellow and not black.

Please consider contributing, like the mere dozen or so loyal supporters do every month, who have kept this rescue going for several years.
