Ripley, the 4 legged chicken!?

[SueT]

Can you tell if the extra feet are growing as she grows?

Bantering about nail polish is fun(ny)...but really any color could stimulate pecking.
Hoping it's just funning.

Been wondering if other chicks are pecking at the extra feet...
...they do like to peck feet, and those are much easier to reach!

It's mostly in fun of course . I haven't seen any of the other chicks messing with them yet thankfully.

Any indication yet of where Ripley ranks in the pecking order?

Not yet but she's with a bunch of passive breed chicks.

New Ripley pictures today! She's still doing great and is just as feisty as ever! She wasn't happy that I took her from her friends in the brooder to take pictures of her butts! And yes, both vents DO work!
