3 week old chick

[annanimal]

Yep,

Oh ananimal don't worry to be honest I've never really stopped thinking it was a roo, but its not the end of the world . Didn't know you got two new ones?

Yep, two new little chickies, my friend got me two and then a rat ate one so I had to get another, now they are both looking a lot like Roos, I already have five roosters, I can't send any of them to the stue pot, so I don't know what I am going to do, I have become so attached to the little guys, you know?
I am going to try to find sme homes for the other roosters but I don't know if I am going to have any luck, plus I have 24 new chicks that I don't know the breed, they aren't young I just havent had time to look at them, at least five of them are going to be roosters.....
Don't know what I am going to do...anyway, fingers crossed your little one is a girl!

 

[LittleChick12]

Oh my! That's a lot of chicks aha. I completely understand your attachment. Its such a shame, hopefully the new two are pullets! Im sure with some research you could find a nice home for a couple of your roosters. Fortunately we found two homes for our old roosters, where they wouldn't be eaten!
Must be very exciting with the new ones, do you know their breed?
Oh thanks, me too. Still got my fingers crossed!

 

[annanimal]

No, I am 100% sure that the one is a rooster, my fingers are crossed that the other is a pullet though.
I live in Greece so I am going to have a harder time finding a home for them... :/
Nah, I don't have any idea what breed they are...
I am thinking of making a separate coop for all the roosters, they will attack each other at first but eventually I am hoping that they will get used to each other, I will have lots of waterers and feeders all around so that they don't fight over that and there will be no chickens to fight over either...
Anyway, do you have a name for the little chickie?

 

[LittleChick12]

Yeah one out of two wouldn't be bad.

Greece how lovely! Except for the rehoming problem.
Aha, how come you are splitting them up?

No not yet. No one agrees on one name aha. Have you named any of yours?

 

[annanimal]

Well, because I am going to have so many of them, I don't want them fighting over the chickens and who's boss.
Yeah, I have named a couple, the two that my friend got me are midnight and sunshine, the rest I haven't thought of yet!

 

[LittleChick12]

that's fair enough. Although i don't think they will be like that for several weeks.Aww they're really sweet names

 

[annanimal]

Thanks, i named them by what they look like, Midnight is all black and has a little white mark under the chin, well at least he had just a little mark uner his chin when i named him, now he has a whole white streek under his belly and Sunshine was named just because he is pretty bright, i have to change Sunshines name because he is a boy...
This is Midnight


And this is both of them.

I will try to get better pictures later.

 

[LittleChick12]

Oh they're lovely looking birds! What makes you certain they're roos?

 

[annanimal]

Thanks, if I take a close up of the yellow one you will see what he is a roo, the other one I am not sure of, like I said.
