    Quote: Exactly! Lol. Its a promotion they do every year the weekend before Easter. I wanted to get them last year but DH told me no, this year I found BYC when they posted their sign about it a few weeks prior and started my research! And come April 16th I was bringing home my first chickens!

    Quote: Yes I do, and a picture of the final chick: The "girls" look nothing like the "boys" but the girls combs are starting to get larger and a little pinker, plus the tail feathers are starting to round. They were "free" chicks from Ace Hardware when you bought a 50lb bag of chick...

    Quote: Thank you! I am concerned because their tail feathers have started to round, like my 2 I was told were roos. But their combs and wattles are barely anything.
