Raising Chicks has been a Joy

A Flock together
So this went VERY well!!
First I held the 2 orpingtons, and guarded them,, one of the browns came over to see, then another one. they just ignored them. Then all of the Browns cam, and everyone ate, Lolololool cool..... So I got the Reds.... and did the same. Ya know, this was good. They all did and are doing great!










and that is enough fun for one day

Boy, these chicks have to be tired, they didnt get a nap all day- they all are still trying to get the sleeping arrangements , it is almost quite,

The Browns went on a Coop Tour



And checked out the courtyard


And with the added excitement, they all laid down for a nap

So I googled about Red leghorn chicks and a BYC thread from 2009 came up, their 2 of 3 died https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/anyone-have-red-leghorns.790731/

I also read (which duh, I never thought to research) they are small, take longer to feather out, weak, ..........
I didnt know, but thats the school of hard knocks.

Can you make a head shot from the front and side? I need to see the eyes/ears/neck region and the beak/comb.

Might just be a runt with slow feathering gene.

But @The Moonshiner has Leghorn expertise.
