Camouflage
I have two brooders now, a new one for the older chicks with a cooler light source and taller sides, and the older one that is in use for the latest hatchlings, with the hotter light and teddy bear.
I didn’t want my older chicks to feel too deprived so I put an old fuzzy slipper in their box. 
Little did I know I was providing the almost perfect camouflage for my party chick with the medley of colored feathers.
We’re high tech here… we have stealth chicks!
