You are correct...here is a baby photo! haha! (Lolipop is Mr. Ed)

Thanks for that info! I didn't know they chased them around first thing until they were all...used...it is very efficient! haha! I've had them all since they were chicks-I had them quarantined for 30 days prior to letting them go in the separation area in the coop so they could all get...

Ya...I spend a LOT of time out there with them-just because I have gotten a little addicted, but now I have a 'rooster check alarm' on my phone so I can go every 40 minutes and see what is happening...and will most likely keep this up for quite some time. I've heard a lot of horror stories and...
