I know I said that children aren't supposed to handle birds, but I also keep reading how people take their chicks out and let their children play with them, so we got out the antibacterial wipes and let one of the RIRs out (not Lucky) to explore a bit. Jonah was fascinated, and very gentle. The chick wasn't afraid at all - it seems as though they're getting a little bit used to us, and perhaps less fearful as they get older. They're a whole week old now!
I can't tell you how difficult it is to get a non-blurry photo of a two-year-old with a chick - nobody stops moving, ever! But you can get a bit of a glimpse of her new back feathers. Pretty, aren't they?
