Bantam baby putting it's head through the chicken wire

[Hteeter2]

First day on grass at three weeks old, and my Bantam baby is trying to escape. She can't get through the chicken wire at 3wks old. Is this normal? She has two Golden Sexlink buddies who aren't trying this. None seem too thrilled with the outdoors yet, but only my Bantam baby is trying to escape.

It's normal. Mine test their boundaries all the time.

Good to know... My little girl is feisty, and she had bad pasty butt when I got her from Tractor Supply. Actually she was the only one to survive out of her group.

Poor little things. Shipping stress is so hard on them.

Yeah, it is... I actually bought her because she was alone with chicks bigger than her. She was my impulse buy of the day, and I went back the next day to find her roommates that were closer in size.
