Hot Chicks!

As part of our bird care today, Deborah and I had these two little chicks in an incubator to care for.


The one in front is a killdeer, and the other one is an avocet. The killdeer weighs 14 grams, and its body is about the size of a ping-pong ball. The feather duster is a surrogate mommy. In the dishes are live tubifex worms, and meal worms. The photo looks blue because of the ultra violet light in the incubator. So cute!
