Allie & Bino, the albino orpington chicks

[Grimm]

They look like they are bonded to each other. Do they take care of each other when they are in the run?

Just following because I'm interested in the longterm effects of the albino genes.

They are! I sat them apart on the cement for the picture, but they gravitated towards eachother immediately. They're too cute

Do they interact with the other chickens or do they keep to themselves?

I have them separate, and the other chickens don't seem to bother them. The ducks are interested, and will often sleep next to the pen they're in. I don't have their tractor finished yet, but should soon.

This thread is so very interesting! I've been lurking every now and then to see how they're doing. Hope that's okay.
Those are some beautiful birds!

Mine being a single actually seems to be about second in the pecking order among 4.

Had two hatch today, one might make it, one died in the hatcher.
