These piggy back rides, have been going on since the chicks started gettting their wing feathers last week. They are just over 2 weeks old now. They are absolutely hysterical. I gave them peas the other day, and it was like I had 7 little wind-up toys, they were all zooming around in crazy...
We have a white American Game foul (I THINK) who started sitting on 15 eggs. She is small, so I gave 6 of her eggs to another sitting hen, whos eggs never hatched. She deserted the nest, so I brought the eggs home, and put them in an incubator. I really didnt think they'd hatch, but they did...
I have 4 of these, one has a white tuft of feathers on his rump, two appear to be twins.. and even pal around together. I am assuming they were nest-mates. Thanks!!
Can anyone tell me what type of chicken my new rooster is. We call him Joker.
I have lots more pictures of the other chickens (I just bought land that has 40 free-range chickens on it.) Joker is our favorite, he is very sweet, follows us around, lets us pick him up, and eats out of my hand...
