Chicken update

Had first chick casualty today, so the count is down to 29. Don't know what happened. I checked on them this morning, turned off lights so they wouldn't get too warm. Probably starting to get overcrowded, so I've moved them into outdoor pen. They need good air circulation. All look healthy, but the breed is strange in that they spend a lot of time sitting and not scratching....think it maybe due to their rapid weight gain.
