Been off the thread for a bit...that's code for "I had a spell of depression." I got 3 4 week old chicks 2 weeks ago from a friend who lost the momma hen to a predator. One little pullet was found unconsious and frozen outside without mom at a day or two old and my friend put her back under mom and she revived but boy howdy! That chick has brain damage! She is afraid of nothing. Runs up to people, dogs, cars, anything big and moving. She is always in danger of getting stepped on as she is always under foot and doesn't move away. Yesterday I nearly raked her up with the refuse. Sweet little thing though. My granddaughter picks her up and carries her around for long stretches of time. She doesn't mind a bit. Is completely distracted by any motion and get separated from the other two chicks easily. It's gonna be something of a miracle if she makes it to laying age.
