Chick's are doing good. I think I have spoiled them. I am teaching them when sun goes down, it's time for bed. They chirp like crazy adolescent children! Although it's getting less and less. In the morning they are quiet until they hear my voice, even if someone else is up I have been feeding "mash/fermented" feed. I think I have spoiled them, because they chirp loudly in morning. Almost like the expect it. Ugh, have I created monsters?

Echo is an interesting character. When younger she loved to snuggle under my neck when I picked her up. Now she typically runs from me. However, today I got her to stay still enough to pick her up. She immediately snuggled under my neck. The interesting thing is she has red waddles coming out, but comb is small. Not sure how RIR chicks develope, but doing research. Sweet chick though, but always seemed protective

Always wondered if Echo might be a Rooster. Echo always allows the others to eat first.

And she was always in front of her flock mates under brooder plate, even as a baby
