Not everything

Just those deemed so by the Chicken Overlords... !

Ha!

Well, bats are good, are they not? They eat lots of insects.

Besides, what's a little Guano among friends???

Guano, the other dark meat!

So, I am going to be just as on the fence as you.....s/he's comb is far larger than the pullet's in the second pic....but far smaller than the clear cockerel's. It could be an early developing pullet, or a late developing cockerel. I have seen both with mixed groups of chicks. Especially the latter when there is a clearly dominant cockerel - the others() tend to develop a bit more slowly, especially in a small group (versus a group of 30 chicks)

I cannot even go by behavior with these. The brats all want to be the dominant chick, and even the 2 obvious pullets go at it at times. I guess I am going have to keep a super close eye on its feathering. If it is a male, I expect it to have marans coloring. If I see any copper coloring coming in on it's backs or wings that will be a dead give-a-way. I guess I can wait roughly 2 more weeks.

Be careful of your headlines. “I lost Phyllis tonight” scared me. My blood pressure jumped up higher than RC’s roosts!

I panicked at first, too...as I saw it in Rebecca's reply....I almost started crying...
phew, that was a very close call to my ticker!

I am soooooo glad to have read 'the rest of the story', though!

Ummm, guano is bat poop. You can try that 'dark meat' if you want, but I'm abstaining!

Not much happened. Phyllis went missing, I had a heart attack

You should have been me trying to find her on the cameras........

Omg mine too! My heart dropped till I read further and then I was like oh thank goodness!

You could see her in the photo.
