4 Weeks old

Its been a month since we got the chicks.  So far, everything has been going pretty well with them. I have had to figure a new way out to give them water.  The waterer worked well when they were young, but after about 2 weeks, they would move so much in the box they would get wood chippings in their water.  I spent more time emptying out the waterer then holding them.  On a tip from an old high school friend, I ended up going to Petco and picking up a small pet water bottle (Thanks E.M.)  The chicks took to it immediately and I haven't had a problem with wood chips since. The only problem with the water bottle is is leaks a tiny bit and the cardboard below the drip gets wet and the chicks nip at it.
