Who Trapped Lulu?!?!



When I wake up the first think I do is say good morning to the baby chicks! This is a status check, plus it's an all-around feel good move. They are so cute and happy, plus I need to check and see what they need from the night before, water or food and what is the temperature in the box. (It should be around 100 degrees.)

So they needed some water - they have been using a very small bowl so no one could fall in and drown, meaning it had to be refilled 3 - 5 times a day. I told them they were silly little girls and went to get the water.

Darling Husband Stephen stopped me and said "Water, you are getting water? I need to show you something." I said OK. I finished getting the water. They were famished and all started immediately drinking. Hubby proceeded to tell me he wad also given them water this morning. Odd they looked to thirsty - what were the little buggers up to!?!?

Then husband showed me the picture above! They trapped lulu!!!!

How in the world had they done that?? How long had the poor girl been in there? Now Lulu is the smallest, she is our preemie. The last born #9, the one we helped, the one that would not have made it if we had not helped. She is adorable! Lulu has the loudest peep, and she is holding her own getting right in there with everyone else. She may get pecked but she dishes it out! That's why we named her Lulu - the slang for Louisa which the German name for Female Warrior.

It will remain a mystery on how Lulu was trapped. But we did go out and buy them a proper chick watering system. There will be no more trappings!
