I ordered a Blue Rock with my order(hatched April 1st)
I ordered a mixed box
(4 RIR, 1 BO, and 1 Blue Rock)
My "bonus chick" was supposed to be 1 of something I ordered.
Each breed should have been easily identified.
We assumed the extra chick was also a similar "Blue Rock".

Hello.
I have heard both. Yea and nay! So, what is your opinion?
Can/should you put fresh mowed grass clippings in the run?
I would love to hear from multiple people. Why you do or don't.

I knew I had to remove the little bit that was still attached!
Uhhhh!
Yup. Me?!?!
I was in no way prepared for this!

We all survived...pullet included!

We ended up with a "bonus chick".
I was told that it was also a Blue Rock due to the others being easily identifiable(RIR and BO).
Now, I am not only questioning the bonus chick but also my original, sold as a Blue Rock!
I am...
