My chick lays just like me

My Buff Orpington, Rupi, lazily lays just like her daddy. I think it is her practicing dust bathing, she does thump around and roll a bit, but it just looks so funny and cute when she lays like this. The leg out, the arm (wing) to the side.. Like father like pullet

If this is who you put Soniya with just give them some time to adjust. They'll get used to each other. A chickens memory is about 3 days. So eventually she won't be a stranger. If waddles start coming in really quickly and that comb gets bigger (prob by 8 wks old) Rupi is more than likely a rooster. And even the chicks love to take dirt baths. Get a shallow pan, like a small rubbermaid container and fill it with some fresh dirt or sand and those chicks will lay and play. Nothing is cuter than baby chicks and poults.
