Share your chicks growing up.

I love these photos of your chickens. The pic of them asleep is adorable.

Wait 1, I got a pic of them doing the "face plant" sleeping method!

When my chicks did that for the first time I thought they were dead. That is the funniest thing ever. My brooder raised chicks loved to sleep like that. I am not sure about Jewel's chicks as they prefer to sleep under her.

These are the chicks that started my chicken passion:
They are all from TSC and the bantams were just to cute to pass up.

Goldie, I think she is a mixed breed bantam

Zenah an Old English Game Bantam


Buffy, another Old English Game Bantam


Panther a bantam Cochuin. She started my love for Cochins.
I just love her, she is my lap chicken and loves to talk and be cuddled


Sparky a mixed bantam

Twilight another mixed bantam

Smokey a Cochin bantam


Flash a Barred Rock mix I believe


Loki a barred rock mix

Popcorn one of my RSL's

Chipmunk a RSL

Roonie a RSL

Trixie another RSL

Pringles a RSL

Cherry another of my RSL's

My poor RSL's beaks started falling off about a week after I got them. I freaked out and later found out they probably tried to de-beak them at the hatchery and it went wrong. They all have very strange beaks now but they can do everything my other chickens can so I am no longer concerned for them.

Here they are now

Loki I think is so Pretty

Flash

Smokey

Buffy

Goldie

Zenah

Panther, my lap chicken









Here are some pics of my RSL's. I can no longer tell them apart so I call them my girls. I am working on a identification system so they can each be called by their names,.The rooster is my Cochin I purchased with Jewel as a pair. His name is Blu and he is an amazing protector and ladies man.

Sparky my best flyer

Twilight a close second to Sparky on the flying

All of these chickens are around 5 months old and all the full size pullets have started laying.

Thank you

Oh My!!! Snow White just came after me and pecked me. I am really thinking cockerel now. Is this a normal behavior in a hen raised chick? I was not scared but do not want it to grow up attacking people. I was checking to make sure they were all in the house because Jewel came out and I only saw 3 chicks. They were trapped and Snow White felt threatened and ran toward my hand and pecked me. . It was very funny but I know it won't be when Snow White gets older.

Yea that sounds like cockerel behavior to me. Idk about hen raised chick behavior vs. not. It could have been him protecting his siblings/flock witch is what you want in a good rooster only because he felt trapped, just keep watching his behavior as he grows. He still might turn out to be a calm people friendly rooster.
