I'm learning chicken math! I have 5 laying hens,but one skips a day sometimes. So I actually only have 4. You can't get just one chicken because that's sad, and it takes 2 chicks to make 1 hen, right? So I got 2 chicks, but I have to feed them, so it's like I never got them. So I had to get 2...

Updated pics - 9 weeks old. Can anyone make a determination on my babies?

Best of luck, Ralphie, I hope you get the sucker. The ranch where I keep my horse lost their only Tom to coyotes. Fortunately, he gave them 8 babies, and was a great dad until he lost his battle. I had no idea how paternal turkeys could be! He taught them all how to fly up to the top rail above...
