I’m super excited to see how they look full grown and giving them the best life.

Yes we are happy that is an option. We’re very green chicken owners, so we didn’t know if that would be ok. He seems to be fairly even tempered, with an occasional peck at the hens that are running around. I don’t think it’s excessive though. I also think he’ll dial that back once we transfer them to the coop, and their run. They’ll have more space. I’ve been trying to give him some meal worms so he isn’t so scared of my hands and that seems to be helping. He’s even taken to a little belly pat when my hand is near him, so we’re hopeful. The advice from this forum may have saved his life! So thanks!

That's so wonderful!!
