We also have data from day 9 but I will save that for week 3.
A highlight for this week is that we can start taking them outside for short periods of time. By taking them outside we have found out more about them! We have some pictures to show you:

Notes:

All: Gaining wing feathers!

Dark Orpington: Quite brave! It keeps leaving looking for bugs while the others are huddled up in a group.

Red+Stripe: Really noisy. I wondered if it was either one chick being loud or them taking turns chirping, until I saw this one's mouth opening up a lot while I heard the noise.

Others: No notes.
