Her real name is Angel.... But we call her seagull.... I'll send a photo in a minute and you'll see why 😂😂😂 She's about 24 weeks now, turned out to be a bantam.

Thats what I’ve been doing! When I tap my finger in the bowl they all come running! Except they peck me and not the food. 😂 They barely eat anything, they are very little. I will try introducing a little swing, perch and some treats in a couple of weeks!

Still working on it....I did make a noticeable difference though...they were fat round balls before, and now it’s just a coating on her little nail.

I love everything about these chicks but the poop. I’m not too fussed if the poop on my, but if they got it on my clothes or the carpet my mum would lay an egg. For some reason I’m unsure how to handle theses guys, do I just keep gently picking them up a few times a day? I’ve been doing that and...

Good news! I put a very shallow tub of warm water, and put her in to soak. She didn’t mind too much. I gently wiped at the poop and breathed on her to keep her warm. She almost fell asleep! We have made a little bit of progress! There’s still plenty on there, but I wanted to put her back under...

I want to make them into super friendly lap chickens...I’m...

Ok...got some... Also, she hasn’t like a little bit of poop caked around her middle toe...should I try to gently wipe it off? It would be very difficult to keep her still, and it would probably traumatise her....

I’ll try....she doesn’t sit still tho...

How big do they get? I was planning on only getting bantams but.....will they be ok with my silkies?

So yesterday I got my first batch of chicks! I got 7, 4 different coloured silkies (1 week old), 1 lavender Araucana (1 week), a gold laced EE, and a silver laced. The EE are 2 and a bit weeks old, I was told, and they are much bigger than the other chicks (but I don’t think that’ll cause me a...
