These chicks make a lot of poop! And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT! When they were in this terrarium, I would line its floor with shredded paper, and I would have to change it every morning and night. It seems, from what I have observed, that chicks will poop right where they stand, then sit in it. All this poop is going to be a great addition to my compost pile, but it had started stinking so much that I had to move them from mu kitchen into an old rabbit hutch in my garage.
You can see all the poop from just a few hours of pooping.
A RIR up close.
They are very alert to when you walk in the room or put something in their cage.
Sleeping chick. You can't really tell from this pic, but chickens sometimes sleep on their stomachs, with their legs all splayed out. IT almost looks as if they are dead.
When I would change their terrarium, I would take them all out and put them into a cardboard box.
