Children should be supervised and taught to handle chicks carefully ... it is not something a child does naturally in my experience.

Griphon might get that big if I don’t stop “treating” him, he’s addicted to meal worms and canned cherries. But, I see what they mean when they say BB stand with feet wide apart. I wonder if that’s a true predictor, however? Seems natural feet would set wider apart as they grow bigger.
