Zephyr is now a week old and has adapted very well (too well probably lol) to being an only chick. He/she is spoiled rotten and has made friends with imaginary chicks in the mirror and all my cats who enjoy watching chick TV while lying next to the warm brooder box. Thankfully, for my sanity

, I have 11 more eggs in lock down right now so hopefully by the weekend little Zephyr will have some real chick friends because I'm pretty sure at this point he has no clue that his is a chicken lol.

Zephyr, 2 days old with the ostrich friend that had to be culled (got wrapped around his foot):

AWWW!! He is adorable!

I had a lonely chick that did fine... But she was hatched by her mother and stayed with her mother! LOL....
 
Oh I can't stand the thought of Zephyr being lonely for even one more day!

I to had a lone serama chick that my friend hatched. Sadly he didn't care about a tuff of feathers and only wanted a hand to cuddle with

lucky my broody that didn't have any of the shipped eggs adopted him.

Looks just like yours but just missing the spot!

I'm glad he'll have friends soon. I raised a completely lone chick once in the middle of winter, and once she was old enough to go outside, it took her a good six months or year to work out the chicken social system and become comfortable with the life of being a chicken. She's fine now, but I certainly would rather not do that again.

Great name, by the way--I have a parrotlet named Zephyr!
