I really like them, they are production type sex links(Hyline, ISA, Bovans, Dekalb, they have many names but are of the same genetic background)

for more info on their genetic make up you can visit my thread here:

Great video and nice setup- I do not know how you kept those chicks from pooping all over your keyboard though.

thanks, the hatchery just called them "browns", which i had trouble finding specific info on. good to know

background in IT, worst case i replace the keyboard

but yeah, i've been training them a bit, when i spot them pooping where i don't want too, i move them off. that seems to be working more or less, no need for treats so far. sometimes i'll also turn them to look at their poop when i flick it off too ( or dump sand on it incase of the wet ones ).

some of them are pretty smart, others take a few times to learn... and some times they are just trolly
