Mike is showing off the new primaries on this 4+ day old chick just before it gets weighed and cased. The chicks and their mom get a new home every other day for the chick’s 1st two weeks of life to give them better odds of survival. This single photo in no way depicts all the time, energy and heart that goes into the survival of this very endangered species!
