fuzzi's Chicken Journal

[fuzzi]

Friday night I banded the Sussex chicks. Good news is two look solidly female. Bad news is two look solidly male, one looks male. I'll wait until they start crowing to be sure.


If I get two pullets out of the hatch, I will be content.

They have such elegant names

I don’t recommend naming a rooster Amnon, though. Fakes being sick, loafs around, keeps bad company, attracted to sisters, double minded, brothers want to kill him - probably wouldn’t be a popular guy at roost time.

The chick killer (almost) was Samuel, didn't live up to his name.

Your Samuel was bloodthirsty for the wee little man! Zak sure has turned out to be a good boy, hasn’t he?

Yes! Not at all like his sire.

Chick pics!

Pink and yellow bands look like girls.

Orange and purple bands look like boys. Orange band screams "BOY!!!" at me.

Green, I'm not sure. I'm hoping girl.

I'll be naming the girls soon.
