I think it might be. Now that I think about it, my red sex link at the same thing and she was fine. I hope she is ok!

Thanks so much!! You don't realize how much that reassured me. Thanks again for the quick response!!

Your welcome! Sorry just one more question, how old is she/he? Thanks!

All my chicks are fairly tame, they are about four 1/2 weeks old, but the funny thing is, they seem to know who's who when their being picked up! Like, I'll pick up my two, and there completely chill but when my sister picks them up, they get kind of fidgety! I think it's kinda funny

I've also fed them scrambled eggs (just the yolk), which they LOVED and i've given them a small bit of watermelon, they also LOVED out of my hand, that helps ALOT when trying to get them people friendly

We don't do anything that everyone else here hasn't already covered, but I thought I'd share a pic of my DS and his favorite Buff Orp Ginger. She comes in the house every morning for cuddle time and rolls from side to side stretching her wings out for scratches.

That is so adorable!

Thats so cute!! My Barred Rock Bantam is around 5 days old now.

 

[alexa009]

Aww! I have a barred rock but not a bantam. The bantams are always cuter!

A turkey flew into our yard trying to get in the chicken pen. Wasn't very friendly though, only when we had food!
