Chicks: day 3 and all is well

PB went out to the pen last night and hung an oyster sack in front of their door to help keep the heat from the light in.
I felt so bad about the cold I was ready to haul them all back inside.
They seem to have made it ok, and gotten braver.
Shiloh walked out to the pen with me and stuck his nose in to say "Hi" and they were rushing him, flapping their wings and pecking at him! Keep in mind they are only two weeks old today.
They are already figuring out their pecking order, these in the pictures are the soldiers. They come check everything out and make sure it's ok, while the others huddle in a corner and watch.
I think they wanted my rings more than the grit in my hand.
