So cute, but like you I hope it's not so hot that the chicks are uncomfortable. If the comments are anything to go by they were being fed insects or rodents about once an hour today and I wonder if they're getting enough to eat. No chow reports for nearly two hours.

Dangit, and here I was hoping the protective cone we put up there would help more! I'll try to drive up there today.
In spite the chicks' obliging
In spite the chicks' obliging tendancy to stay in a visible corner, two squirts are making it harder. Sorry, Delora.
