Sounds good. Lights are more popular and the hatcheries generally breed for production and thus usually grow faster. If you notice most hatcheries sell lights as a standard breed and the buff & darks as rare & unusual.
Smart boy! I think there's a 'suck up' in every flock. I found one yesterday too...a little pullet from the first hatch this year. I noticed she wasn't hanging with the rest of the teenagers like normal but feeding among the big girls. Last night when I closed the coop I was surprised to see her on the roost snuggled under the wing of the head hen!We had some people come over today to look at some chicks we have for sale. One of our Dark Brahma cockerels who is the most stand-offish of the five we have decided he wanted them to be his family. This guy followed hem all over the yard, jumped in their laps when they sat down, stood at their feet chirping to be picked up, and even tried to follow them out of the gate when they left! They will be back tomorrow to take him to his new home. Guess they didn't have much of a choice when he made it so obvious
