Well, the chicks are 1 week old today! And we transferred half of them to their new home in the converted greenhouse! I tried weighing them, as at one week old, they are supposed to be between 60 and 68 gms, but the ones I managed to weigh (fidgety little things what they are!) were between 65 and 86 gms!!! This past week they have eaten between them nearly 40kgs of chick crumb! I called the hatchery to check that we are supposed to be feeding them ad lib, yes they said, give them as much as they want!!!! When my friend John works out how I can put some pics on here, as I'm a bit thick where this sort of stuff is concerned! I'll show you the photos I took. Their little wings are so much bigger now, and when we got back from the feed supplier with their latest bag of chick crumbs, (half a ton arriving next Tuesday!) one chick was sitting on top of the water bell which is over a foot high!!!! We also bought 12 Bovans Goldline POL's 3 weeks ago. They are a cross between a Rhode Island Red Cockerel and a Light Sussex Hen, so when I called the hatchery, I also mentioned the Amberlinks. What are they a cross of I asked? Oh they are the same, just the other way round. So the white Amberlinks are a cross of a Light Sussex Cockerel and a Rhode Island Red Hen. They are all sex linked, so you can tell as soon as they hatch whether they are hens or cockerels, which is very clever, but must put the old chickens sexer out of business!!!! Still, I'm just going out to the garden to make sure they are all okay, especially the ones in the greenhouse, as its their first night in there.
