At the two week mark one of the babies jumped out of the box, so now there's a screen over the top. One still has a hard time walking, and another has funny toes. I see a meal in their future.
The elders are mostly okay. 0010 had a serious toe bleed the other day, so I seperated her from the rest. She cried out a weak buck-wheat like she was being punished. It was the right thing to do though -- she had droopy eyes and looked like she was about to pass out. The others were pecking at her toe and her chest feathers were covered with blood. Yuck.
The coop expansion has been delayed, due to too much napping. There are still just two females that I know of. Kiki is buck-wheating up a storm as usual, and Rotisserie is an outcast. I give him special attention though, so he's otherwise fine.
