For Ag, we took a one day old chicken home over the weekend. We were trying to get them to imprint on us/a toy. I had a little rusty-yellow chick with a black dot and smudge on her head. [link] I named her Indii-Featherdot. ^^ I generally called her Indii or little one. >>

I way trying to imprint her onto a small cat toy that was sparkly, had a couple of feathers and was filled with catnip. She sometimes followed it, but I'm pretty sure she ended up imprinting on my hand. She'd nearly always run to my hand and would rather run to my hand than the toy. Then again, when she sounded upset or was trying to get out of her box I would put my hand in to comfort her, so that might be part of the reason why.
Yesterday she wouldn't sleep unless she was in my hand. It was cute, but it was also a pain since I was trying to get to sleep. -.- She woke me up at 5:30 or something this morning too. I was too tired to get up properly, so I cradled her to me and lay down again. She buried into my shirt! It was so cute, but it tickled. She fell asleep in there; she must have been nice and warm.

We had to give them back today. We'll be testing the experiment on Wednesday to see if they come to us. I really hope she does!
I've missed Indii all day; I didn't want to give her back! I want to keep her! I've been feeling anxious and miserable all day; I really want her back. I talked to one of the others and she wants her chicken back too, but she doesn't seem to be feeling the pain I'm feeling. And I really shouldnt be feeling this pain; I knew from the beginning we had to give them back. I didn't expect to get so attached to her. TT^TT
I keep imagining I can still hear her chirping. It's driving me insane! I can't stand to hear birds chirping at the moment; it reminds me of her, and it hurts.

My friends who didn't do it didn't seem to understand how much I want her back. I really wanted comfort but I don't know how to ask for it... And they didn't seem to understand that I wanted it...
