The baby chick is just 2 days old (at the time I posted this comment).
But the weird thing is that this lone chick is soooooooooo active and slept last night at like 10 pm, it continuously chirps loudly (probably cos it's alone) but in terms of eating and drinking, it's normal. And for some...

Anyhow, for the time being, me and Fluffy are gay buddies
My favourite chicken Fluffy (He's my avatar on the left although that pic was taken a month or two ago and he's a WPR) keeps on doing this weird 'dance' thing when he's near me and only does it to me and no one else maybe he's doing it because he likes me .
