Haha! Too sweet not to share. Our chicks are in good hands (paws).

I find it very odd someone would be selling female sex link chicks in a straight run batch for $2 each when you could easily sort them and sell the pullets for $5 each.

You can post again when they're feathered out, around 5-6 weeks, and we can help id them with breed and gender at that point.

That dog is like ...'Hey, who's that sleeping in my bed!?!'

I have one that doesn't really seem to be growing? Is that normal that some are behind? It's wings aren't getting feathers like the others either. Now that the others have outgrown it, it has been having a harder time getting to the food and water. Such a passive little one. What should I do?

Put a block of wood for him to step up on to reach the feeder.

He can't get to it because the other chicks are bullying him out of food and water.

Maybe you need 2 feeders?

I have 2 feeders and 3 waterers.
Those other chicks are intentionally excluding him.

Maybe pull him out into another enclosure with a couple/few others so he can get caught up?
