I'm sorry to hear that, had to be heartbreaking...

It was particularly traumatic for her, since she was there, and saw it happen, and being 5 1/2, was too small to stop the dogs from doing it. They all knew they screwed up though.

If baby chicks are handled often when they are still small, will they enjoy it when they grow older?

Not always, although they'll be generally less freaked out about it (and you) than ones that aren't handled. Especially if it also comes with treats!

In our experience, if you teach them to eat out of your hands, and always have treats when you come out, they'll continue to like you... but for you better pray for mercy if you forget their treats. LOL

She was singing to her chickens.

I asked her what she was going to do if her chicken pooped on her head....

​

She goes "don't jinx it mom. Just don't."

That's adorable. I also sing to my chickens, replacing the normal lyrics with chicken-based ones.

2 of the yellow ones, I believe the one on the end with the redd-ish feathers, and then one of the other roosters is all yellow-ish.
