The chicks have grown so much even just from like a week and a half ago :hit

Brooder was a bit of a disaster but not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

Shavings everywhere, all over the house, and some high and low spots in the brooder from where they’ve kicked/dug around, and of course they get the food and water filthy insanely fast because of their antics, but honestly besides that it’s not that bad. :lau

They definitely need to go outside though. :lau

Before.

And some cute chick pics after I refilled everything. Or as best as I could do. They wouldn’t hold still. :lau

I think so. Definitely at least 3 (the red combed ones that made themselves obvious lol) and I have a couple others I’m keeping my eye on. I suspect the EE is one but his comb isn’t red yet so :confused: but he’s HUGE just like the other confirmed boys and he’s got a bit of red leakage on his neck/chest and a super thick/wide comb sooo....

And at least one or two others look slightly red/pink so I’m keeping my eye on them.

With my luck they’ll all be boys. :hit

But the good news, if there is any, is that these ones I’ve had my eye on since day one so at least my suspicions are confirmed lol that’s a relief and I’m glad I’m right. Also glad none of my favorites have turned into boys so far. I knew these were probably boys so tried not to get attached. Really haven’t gotten attached to any specific ones yet. Just love them all as a whole ha wanted to keep all the pullets but there may not even be any. :th Learning a lot at least.

I might keep one boy but idk yet.

Is the brown dog your pit mix that you just mentioned a couple posts ago? The reason I ask is because this is my pit mix Maggie. She’s a lovable goofball! She’s only 45ish lbs and is almost 3yrs old.
