The last time I owned a chick was when I was 6 years old. Now I'm in my 60's and have chicks again. Love it but at times stressful when I find one dead or my babies all gone. Trying hard to protect them. Love all animals but chicks are so cute and small enough for me to handle, except when I fall over them due to them walking under my feet. Love them so much. I also have 2 large dogs & 2 cats.
