Biddy is very sweet and lovable. He's hopped in our laps on numerous occassions to be pet and to sit for a while. He used to give kisses when he was little, but now he bites pretty hard so we don't let him give kisses anymore lol.

The white one is Biddy, we are still trying to determine sex, and the yellow one was Bella that got killed by a hawk last week. Biddy is now a little over 2 months old.

My chicken only clucks when we pick him up. Other than that, it's all peeps and he's two months old now.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost one of my babies last week. They were playing in the back yard and we went to check on them and my friend noticed a "big bird" (a hawk) sitting on the roof and she didn't think anything of it. Then she noticed the chickens weren't in the back yard...

My oldest chick is about 3 weeks and I'm not sure if it's a growth spurt or something else. Do chicks normally go through a growth spurt where they put on weight? He seems kinda heavy compaired to his 2 week old companion. Is it possible to overfeed chicks or do they just eat until they get...

I love that little trill/purring noise too. First time I heard it I said "awwww...did you hear that" to my friend. It was too cute.

What kind of chicken is the bottom one? Are his feathers supposed to look like that? I think its cute :) I got this picture when I took out my phone to snap one of Biddy. He looked at my phone like "what is that!?" and then pecked it several times.
