I have ONE Blue Maran chick that hatched out on the 23rd of December that is in the brooder with blue orpingtons and BLRW chicks that all hatched the same few days..
Fiona or Kringle.. not sure which name will fit.. MeanA^% is what my DH calls "it"
at 1 week old - looking at that stare!!
picture at two weeks
I also have 4 Buff Orpingtons that are a week older - today I covered the floor to my guest room and let everyone out on the floor for some exercise and play time.. Well FionaKringleMeanA%$ decided to go around jumping on EVERYONE.. she/he would grab them by the neck (or sometimes tail) feathers and hold on. I think he/she is part snapping turtle. All the other chicks enjoyed each others company as they showed off their flying skills... while they were trying to avoid MEAN CHICK
He/She didn't just pick on the Buffs which are in a separate brooder.. I don't know if she thought all the other chicks were making fun of her because she has feathers on her feet or what. Anyone have this experience before.. goodness
