I have currently raised my first flock of chicks to my dismay three out of the four chicks turned out to be roosters. These little guys turned out to be my little buddies and would follow me everywhere around the yard. I have since found a good home for my little guys on an 11 acre farm with plenty of hens. It makes me happy to know that they will be living a happy life. I did keep my little hen out of the first flock and I am currently raising three more small chicks to eventually introduce to my original hen when they grow up a bit. I would like to thank all the members of BYC For being part of this site and constantly contributing to answering questions. Every time I have googled anything to find out information about chickens I have always found the answers in a backyard chickens blog.
