Flying the Cardboard Coop

The chicks turn 3-weeks tomorrow....they are much more feathered (almost a molted look) and are already testing the boundaries of "the box." This morning, I found the yellow one, Uno, patiently waiting on the OUTSIDE of their cardboard box to be put back in for her water and food. [More cleaning.] While changing their food again tonight, she jumped up on top of the water bottle to get a better look at my activities. Ah-ha! That's how you got out! Now I know to move the water to the middle of the box....and to hustle down to the feed store to buy me a more permanent coop.
