Conch is doing well. he jumped out of his shoe box home on Tuesday morning. he was looking for companionship, but landed on the floor instead. Phil put him in with the other 16 chicks, but as I thought, some of them started to pick on him, so we have moved most of them into another box and put Conch in with 3 more placid chicks, so now he has company. He can see the others through the box sides, but it would be to his detriment at this time to put him with them. He is beginning to fluff up a bit, but all of them are beginning to sprout the feathers at the wing tips, I expect once Conch is feathered he may reach almost the same size as the others. He is feisty though! He has made it this far, I expect he will be with us for a while now!
