Cool! That is a serious relief!

In general, the bird is too young, but still suspicious.

Looking forward to the update!

Definitely not. More like 6 weeks. I am looking forward to it!

The chicks are 3 weeks tomorrow, and I saw this little Sussex's comb looking very red for its age. Agh! It doesn't come up very well on the photos!

Nothing shouts obvious boy yet, but 3 more weeks will make a big difference! Some breeds get a small bit of wattles early they just never grow more than that little bit until much later. Some are very obvious very early on…it’s a stressful waiting game! But so far it’s a question mark I’d say!

Yeah I totally understand! I started out my chicken adventure with 4 straight run chicks…and 3 were boys we were very attached to them. It’s hard!
