Food, the ultimate incentive

Now that the chicks are 3 weeks old, we have set up a dowel for them to roost (perch) on. They really didn't like it at first and didn't know what to do. They'd just charge over it to get to the other side. Until I started bribing them with food!  Truly my babies.

I tricked them into standing on it by hand feeding them just out of their reach and now they're becoming pros! Surprisingly, Millie is better at it than Gertie.

I haven't seen my little fuzzy babies sleeping while roosting yet, but I keep peeking hoping to catch them.

Steady...
