Looks like those birds are going to be tasty! :-) You might check out an automatic chicken waterer – http://www.avianaquamiser.com – for your next batch of chicks — the design is based on a nipple, so you don’t have the poop-in-the-water problem, and there’s absolutely no risk of young chickens drowning in the water.

They don't have to be the same breed, but if they're the same colour, they usually don't fight or peck each other.Your chickens are delightful.  It's wonderful to see them grow.

I love the music experiment. There was a book written on how sound energies affect the living world around them including animals, land and water.
