After my last post, I called ACE Hardware and told them I lost one of the Chicks. The manager told me to come get a replacement!
So I jumped in the truck and got another "Chipmunk" one. Odd Ball has a darker strip down her back then the new one and I may give her that name.
I took a plastic bowl to carry her in, nit thinking that she would not be able to stand up on the slippery bottom. But she jumped out of the bowl 3 times on the trip home. I had set the bowl in a box on the seat and each time she got out, she ended up on the edge of the box, just like she was roosting for real!
All six are in the brooder now and I got a couple pictures of them:
So day two, A little sadness and a new addition. I wonder how many are Roosters? Time will tell!

| You can see the two "Chipmunks" standing side by side. Rhode Island Reds? We will see! |

| This corner seems to be the place they like, or is it just as far as they can get away from me? |
