So this is my first time raising chicks. 5 weeks ago I got 6 baby chicks @ TSC, 3 production reds and 3 buff orpingtons. They have done really well and are now 5 weeks old. There has been no bad behavior and they get along great. I was contacted yesterday by a friend who has a friend who's young son "won" a chick at a school Easter carnival. The dad said they could keep it until they found a home for it. They have asked me if I want it.
The new chick is 4 weeks old. I don't know what breed it is or whehter it is a roo or pullet. I already have 1 confirmed BO roo- possibly 2. I can't have any more.
Should I take this new chick and help them out or am I asking for trouble in my already established happy chicken home? And, I don't want to debate the ethical question of giving a LIVE animal as a prize- but COME ON PEOPLE get a clue!
