Thanks for the info, fellow peeps! I have a Rhode Island Red, a Black Hybrid sex Link, and an Antweerp. They're all very sweet and have started to do some cooing...
I've had my three hens for about 4 months -- since they were 3 days old. I've gotten totally addicted to them and find myself trying to understand their behavior and language. I can tell when they coo that they're happy and when they screeck they're scared or angry. But they make so many other...
To all of you who posted their support, I wanted to let you know the chicks' demand were met and I was released unharmed. I may have a little Patty Hearst syndrome, as I now find them adorable!
I recently gave my five week old chicks a big worm to see who would get it. I felt sorry for the worm but they sure got excited about it! Rhode Island red, Buff Orphington, and Black Hybrid Sex Link. Check out the fun!
