This might be a little bit pic heavy...but trust me, this was controlling myself!

Xmas day in the brooder (light bulb number 3)

And again.

The brooder...4 lightbulbs down the road in the lamp, i've had to use the lid of the inc as the heat lamp...our electrics are rubbish Sad

We keep getting surges that blow the bulbs (we've got a thingy that you plug into the mains, then plug the appliance into and it tells you the voltage). I'm a bit worried one will boink their head on it, but they've not so far.

Maglet from behind, and Daisylet.

Roselet is camera shy Razz

Most of the ones of her were really blurry. They're speedy little buggers, zooming all over the brooder. Since I conveniently got a chick from each hen, they're named after their mums for now.
