Chick hip flasks??? LolYa don't have chick hip flasks![]()
Know we think our chicks are happy healthy and huge! But we are confident of their ages, they seem so ready to us too to be in a coop but weather is not helping that case at all. We did not expect them to be so big so soon. I am doing everything I can to keep em busy in the brooder. We have made them an addition to the condo(lol)a dirt and sand bath, i go out and dig up dirt and long grass for them, we have straw, and we recently took out a little stick they perched on and added a perch across the box and they come and fly out to me as they are next to me. I dont know what else to do but wait....and do my best for them.Hello and welcome to BYC. Those chicks look like they are coop- ready

Ok good to know. This is my first time ever. I never imagined in a million years I would ever be raising Chickens. I Googled a lot but I definitely want to hear from the barnyard and backyard folks raising them.It seems like you have all bases covered![]()
