More pics of the brooder babies

Pretty sure this one is a pullet. She's so tiny and sweet!

Be warned Dixie, it's usually the sweet ones that steal your heart and then turn into a roo.

What a wonderful story! Thank you so much for sharing. I read the whole thread in one sitting. Glad to hear the sadness turned around.

@Jen thank you so much! It has been a roller coaster for sure!

@Fancychook yes I know! Haha I have bad luck with barred rocks being roos!

So I bought the babies a waterer and a chick feeder. Waterer was too big to fit the brooder. The chick feeder was long and they still managed to get feed everywhere. They love to scratch!

We caught the last chick that Gretel had out with her. I noticed last night that Gretel took her to the woods. So when we saw them back out in the pen today we took the chick. I don't need anymore wild, woods-roaming chickens. Haha. The chick was NOT happy about it but she's eating and drinking and getting to know her brothers and sisters. So yay!
