Mixed chicks

Magazine should be fine, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Breed and gender guesses will have to wait until they are more feathered out.

OK, thanks... Did not know this...

anything slippy or smooth means they cannot grip. Even dirt is fine. Some people use paper towels because they are rough and the chicks feet don't slip on them.

magazine is even worse than newspaper because it is glossy.

No point getting splayed legs and having to treat them when it is so easily avoidable

I also hatch some from my garden when i was watering the plant

Cool! I want to plant whatever that is in my garden!

That kind of depends on the magazine...and that type does not look very slippery. I have used many things for many chicks.

Like I said...better safe than sorry.

It is a crazy hen all right, my plant is so dense that the hen probably think it is a perfect spot for laying the eggs, i need to remove the eggs immediately, because i need to give the plant water to survive, if you have any free range chicken, the you should know the eggs laying drama, the hen sometimes think that the nest you gave her is suck, then she decide to look for one herself.

Btw, my plant is an ivy plant that i grow beside my house, i just left it alone till it become a thick layer of plant mass, i never clean the falling leaf and root, i just trimm the edge now and then, and give it a lot of water, all those falling leaf and dense shade probably attract the hen.
