Four Bit Chick pic or Chicken LITTLE

It does in a way. I started 25 serama eggs to get six to hatch. I think they have to come all the way from heaven, and are precious little lives. I had to make a tiny chick waterer so they could reach but not fall in, LOL. My standard chicks are four times their size at hatch. The silkies 2-3 times their size as are the bantam cochins. It's funny to have something that make baby bantam cochins look BIG!

OMG all my babies are standards and when they first got here I couldn't believe how tiny and fragile they seemed. I think with little Four Bit there I'd be afraid I'd just think too hard about hugging them and they'd squish

Since I spent half last night sleeping with him in my fist - I understand your fear. Somebody stomped my wee lad and he couldn't get any rest with the others so.. of course Mom came and got him and held him on the couch all night. He's NOT spoiled mind you. I moved him to Darthbator with the Sizzle chicks that hatched yesterday, him and Tag his brother, and four sizzle babies in there. LOL the Sizzles are bigger. Tux and Tag make good examples for the babies and won't hurt them.

Okay that was yesterday and he wanted momma around 5AM this morning too... sigh.
