Oh my! Random wondering chicks! It's a good thing that doesn't happen around where I live. My husband would kill me after I collected them all. I could never live with myself if I didn't save them all! LOL

Yeah I have that problem too LOL my wife rolled her eyes when we came home with a bucket of peeping chicks.

I am in the north, we had good weather here, the southern islands got hit really bad. The chicks were walking in a really bad part of town..my brother-in-law hopped out the car to get them while I slowly drove the get-a-way car past the local trap houses, dodging bullets. Ok,... there were no bullets, but you get the idea!

Ok, now that you've fleshed out your story a bit... I can't let it pass. Local police beat: 2 brothers hauled into jail for picking up chicks in the seedy part of town.

LMAO and we were driving really slow to get close to the chicks..I changed the thread title

UPDATE**** So...3 of the chicks turned out to be hens! I rehomed the rooster, one hen went to my inlaw and I have two nice "wild" (sort of tame-ish) birds. They lay tiny creamy bantam sized eggs, kinda reminds me of some Mille Fleur eggs I used to have. One of my wild hens already turned broody and she is sitting on some Copper Maran eggs. I am trying natural incubation this spring.

The other one turned out like this:


Here she is with the rest of the crew:

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing that the grey one in the back is a roo! Also guessing that the front right one may be a roo! Come back in about 8 weeks, and tell me if I am right!!!

Well....we thought for the longest that this grey one was a roo but...... he is a she and she is broody now lol.

They turned out very beautiful! I'm so glad you found them and gave them a chance!
