Does anyone else miss their baby chicks once they grow up.

[Beloved Turkey]

I got some chicks this year and they’ve grown so much. I saw some photos of when they had just gotten they grown up feathers and now they have combs and live with the flock. I miss my babies so much and I’m wondering if any one else who raises chicks feels the same way. They grow up so fast.

Yes I do, but I can always hatch some more chick's when they do.

This is all five of my 8 week olds on my lap. I wonder how many more times they will all fit, and want to have mom time. Sigh...

No that’s them a while ago and they only had the heat lamp because it was really cold that day

Absolutely. Chicks are the best so I just keeping setting eggs every week so I don't run out of them.

No, just glad to be done with the "baby sitting". Love those broody hens!

I never miss the chick phase. I love it when they are fully feathered and outside. That's when the funny antics begin!

I miss the chick phase. They are all so very curious and happy to use me as a perch and heat source. They are fun!
