Hi all! I took some video of my 3 week old chicks second time outside on a nice sunny day and figured I would post it here. Midnight is really showing how bossy she can be! These are my first chicks ever so it was really interesting studying their behavior they act totally different in the brooder. Midnight is doing a lot of what I am guessing to be showing her position in the flock. Scarey Spice is a rooster I think. Her comb starting turning a little red a couple of days ago, I first thought maybe she was pecked by Midnight but it's still getting red. She also tends to do more looking around like a little security guard. Her feathers on her thighs and feet are much more fluffy and and way fuller than the others. Im just guessing though. Napkin is fiesty as well and doesn't back down easily from Midnight's behavior. We named her Napkin because the other chicks used to wipe their beaks on her!! Blanca is the white chick here and I think she's just somewhere in the middle she doesn't have much of a personality and usually hangs out with Scarey Spice. Gray Bullet is Midnight's best friend I think. She doesn't get bothered by midnight at all! She's also the tiniest!
Well that's my little observation and report on my video. I hope everyone enjoys!
At the end I give a little shout to Blue, our Share pei mix. We just had a storm and for some reason the dogs think tarp water tastes better than fresh! What do you all think? Thanks for reading/watching!

They are cute and so much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.

One day, I hope to have some Silkies, probably the paint. They are absolutely stunning.

Thank you! Sometimes I end up spending too much time watching and hanging out with the chicks. My dogs are starting to get jealous!
You're going to absolutely love having Silkies I hope you'll have some too! They're really entertaining and the paint color is really beautiful. I would have chosen that if I had the chance!
