Sooooooo, integration with mom didn’t go well. All seemed ok- they went into coop one night after a few days of free range with the flock, so I thought things were fine/ I went out the next morning to find the leader down in run with her and this. ( Mom still up in coop part) Brought her inside...
This is out first momma raised chick, I read all about separate houses etc. so was that just first week or so? When I noticed mom trying to get out more I’m guessing that is when she wanted to take chick out into the world... she is staying near baby & other girls are curious. (It’s so nice to...

Fancy Pants (what we’ve been calling her) has successfully had her first beak trim! It went much easier than I thought- I suppose the fact that we handle them a lot helps. Thanks for the replies, I LOVE the BYC community :thumbsup
ok gang, 6 1/2 weeks ago I picked out a chick with “angel wings “ as I called them, just because it was different from any of the others- now I have a puff-ball! :love What breed is it & can you tell gender? I thought frizzle Cochin, but it’s beak is different (sharper) than my others and it...
