Crowing
I love this little Sebright! Firefly is 2 1/2 weeks old, and has lovely wing feathers and the tiny beginning of a tail. This bird is unlike any chicken I've had - more like a little parakeet. S/he is quick, agile and alert. There is nowhere this little chick would rather be than on my shoulder. Firefly will climb up my boot, my arm, whatever, just to get closer.
I would have her with me all day long, but I don't want her in the rooms where the dogs are, especially as she has an odd habit of trying to climb into my mouth. That wouldn't be so good with the dogs.
In 3 weeks, I should have LF chicks. I am thinking of having the Sebright share a brooder with them at that point, for company. Would a 5 week old bantam do will with newborn large breeds, like Orpingtons and EEs? If the brooder is big enough, the differing temperature requirements might not be a problem, I'm thinking.
Thoughts on that?
Any more Sebright pics or tips anyone can share?
