Apr 12, 2013 #1 TheMoncktons In the Brooder 6 Years Apr 5, 2013 29 0 22 Kilkivan, Queensland, Australia I've included a picture. We don't know what breed they are but they have feathery legs that are getting dirty from the wet grass and dirt. I've also added two to show their size in relation to the others. They are only small chooks.
