Not yet. They were straight run, but if theres a rooster I'm thinking I'll name him Prince something...

Ah okay. They’re super adorable I’m assuming these are for your olive egger project?

Yep! I don't even mind having another roo at this point, since the marans hatch was such a bust.

Welcome! I'll try to get some better pictures of them in the morning. They're fighting a little bit, but not as hard as adult chickens. I just got them some mealworms so that may be the cause of the ruckus

Looks like something's wrong with one of the chicks. :/
I thought the thing was lying to me because it happened yesterday, too, but after I messed with it for a little bit, it got right back up and started acting normal. That was almost 24 hours ago. It doesn't want to walk, and when it does it "penguins around" on its hocks. Its feed is medicated, but no shots. We've had it home for about a week now, so its about two weeks old.
Its the biggest of the three I brought home so its not like it got picked on or anything. I felt its bones and didn't find anything unusual
