Oh, that is SO annoying! I really dislike having chicks in a brooder for that exact reason! I've heard of something called a chicken nipple watere that is supposed to work well but have never tried it.
My husband says the chicks can't go outside yet but they smell SO bad! I clean their box out everyday but they are really smelly little critters!!! I think they are going on two months old.. isn't that old enough to go outside?
It's really strange for me to have an animal who doesn't really seem to 'play.' Every pet I have ever owned did some sort of play. Horses, goats, dogs, cats, parakeets.... etc.. So, do you consider chickens 'playful'?
YAY!!
This is a leghorn/welsummer cross... what would you call that? A welhorn? A Legsummer? Summerhorn?
This is a welsummer/cuckoo maran cross... welmaran?
These are my new chickies. The white one are leghorn/welsummer mixes...
Scratch that, I realized I have no idea how to post a picture on here... a little help maybe?

Wow! Those are great pics! I had a leghorn that looked a little like you're turkens but that was because the roo got a little wild with her and tore all her neck feathers out!
I have a welsummer roo and aricauna hens.... do you think their offspring will lay green or brown eggs? Do you think they will have the tufted faces of the aricauna? Anyone have any welsummer-aricauna mixed chickens?
