This was Zacchaeus (aka Little Chick) when I found him after the first attack. I didn't document the injury from the second attack, but it was a gaping wound you could have stuck a sharpened pencil tip in!

I'd be happy with three girls...

I don't see them. They were on his left side, the side facing the camera in the latest photos.

One week later... #1 Purple (possible girl) #2 Lime :fl #3 Yellow (ALL boy!) Even his stance screams "cockerel"! #4 Pink (boy) #5 Aqua. :fl (I don't like the look of that comb) #6 Blue (possible girl) They'll be 4 weeks old on Thursday and Friday.

Aha! I see the tail... Zacchaeus isn't hiding as much, though he moves quickly when one of the hens is in a fowl mood! :lol:

Zack has a tail, it just doesn't show at this angle. He's mixing more with the flock, though wary of an occasional irritable hen! Wisp watching chicks...

Hope so!

After dark last night... :love

I hope so, too.

Around the coop today... Zacchaeus! I pulled carrots this morning, brought the greens into the run. Even the May chicks were grabbing beakfuls, everyone but Zack. I took a couple carrot greens stalks over to where he was perched, on the back of my chair. He watched me carefully, not sure about...

Actually, both do it, but the Sussex are a little smaller, so better at slipping through! :lol:

Pictures!

I've had cats my whole life. I never trust them. Nor dogs. They will do what is part of their nature.

I have tried doing that, but the hens, being bantams, can squeeze themselves between the (slightly) open door and the frame, then slide under the door. Stinkers! That kitty is Wisp, and while she looks white (with beeutiful blue eyes) she has dilute flame point Siamese markings on her nose and...

Hidey hole ⬆️ The May chicks are using the adult waterers, yippee! They're hopping up on the tire to access two of the cups on the bucket waterer. I've already removed the chick feeders, I can remove the chick waterers once I am sure they're all able to drink from both of the adults' waterers...

Nothing cuter than a chick.

Girls...I want at least three. I might keep a boy, as backup for Zack. I kept two with Joel and Samuel, no issues.

How are your bunches coming along?

Chick Candids Green Snake came into the coop, they DO NOT LIKE IT. But one of the Dominiques finally got up the courage to return from the back of the coop and forage in the weeds I'd brought (mostly crabgrass).

Rahab is trying to get her bunch up on the roost. She flew up to the wheelbarrow, called them, and two attempted to follow her. One was able, the other couldn't quite get that high. So she hopped down. It was fun to watch.
