Haven't been on here in a while! My chicks that hatched out 11 months ago, one of them I still can't tell if it is a male or female! I really think it is a male, but no crowing and no funny business. I really think it looks male in the way it stands though.

WOW they are gorgeous! So fluffy! Can I have them? haha

I love that you have them on grass, aren't you worried about germs?

I put my babies o the grass. It's good for them! As long as they are kept warm if they don't have a broody with them.

Our chicks and momma had a day out today. They weren't sure about the grass.

OK, it is a FEMALE. It squatted for me when I went to pick it up. talk about a late bloomer! LOL now I have no roosters, darn it!


actually, I have a younger one that I don't know the gender of either, but I'm pretty sure that one is a female too. apparently I only hatch out females. hmmmmm.

Be careful what you wish for.

I actually really happy now because I was thinking it would be only for like small birds and stuff but I will definitely be paying them a visit in the future for a check up on my new hen that I got!

My vet can't stand chickens. Needless to say, not an avian vet.

Unfortunately, many avian vets will not see chickens--they feel that chickens are a threat to the more $valuable$ exotic birds. Some will, though, so call and ask. Exotic vets are more likely to be amenable to seeing chickens.

Unless they fight over the babies, and the babies get squashed or neglected. I don't let birds share nests; I've lost too many chicks that way.

Wazine works on roundworms, not necessarily small worms or even all small worms; for example, capillaria are teensy, but not roundworms.
