Chicks!

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hey all! Monday one of my chicks that hatched 3 days early got attacked by the other hens, he had a big wound on his head. I took him in and got the brooder and all set up. I've been taking care of him and he's been doing great! I think he will be fine his wound just needs to heal. He loves people, always wants your full attention. I had planned on getting chicks this week from our local southern states, it just so happens that the chick I rescued named, Bubba, is the same age as the chicks at the feed store! So I went down there today and bought, a dark brahma pullet named Paisley, a light brahma named Rapunzel(my sister's), a buff brahma named Paige, a silver laced wyandotte named Rosalina(my brother's), a black sex link named Ebony, and a red sexlink named Skeeter. These chicks and Bubba are all together and getting along great.

The rest are, Paige, Paisley, Skeeter, and Ebony.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
