Work it Chickie! This chick seems to be working it for the camera, don’t you think? LOL She was very curious about what I was doing and seemed to go from side to side so I could get all of her angles. 🙂 A real natural.
Our next chick was a bit more reluctant to have it’s picture taken. What this chick lacks in shyness it sure makes up for in sweetness and heart. This is the chick that we put the little boot on to try to straighten out it’s little foot to no avail. Sadly, it will not straighten out. But this chickie doesn’t seem to mind. It does everything the other chick does, like run, hop, flap it’s wings and tries to fly, etc. just a little differently is all.
Russ, the good chicken daddy said, and I quote, “I guess I will have to build handy cap ramps in the coop.” I know we will do everything we can for it.
The two chicks are now a week old and getting feathers now. We don’t know if they are girls or boys so we haven’t named them yet.
I’m hoping both of them are not roosters because we would only be able to keep one of them. I’m told you should only have one rooster to 10 hens or they will fight. So let’s keep our fingers crossed that they are both female or just one of them is male.
As for the rest of the fertile eggs, well they didn’t hatch. Goldie is now back out with the rest of the flock and quite happy to be so. Since she was away from the flock for a while she will have to re-estabilish her spot in the pecking order. She was at the bottom before so there is no place to go but up for her. Go Goldie!
I have the two chicks in a brooder in my office and they are living a life of luxury with chick feed, water, heat lamp etc. While I get to enjoy hearing them peep all day as I stamp, win, win.
Well there you have the chick update in an eggshell, lol.
Have a super Friday!
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
Huge Hugs!
