so so cute :D

Adorable!

Do they sleep together?

yes they tend to sleep huddled up next to each other. chickens are highly social, raising a chick alone tends to make them have anxiety issues (ie hurting themselves by looking for others of their kind/stuff to do/etc) which is why i tend to keep them in batches of 2-3. in a real clutch of chicks they would be like a little chick blanket on the floor at night. later around a month we put sticks in the cage for tiny roosts for them.

YOU SHOULD TRY FOCUSING

OMG MY SEKRIT IS OUT! I CANT FOCUS BCUZ I ONLY HAVE 1 EYEEEEEE

They are so adorable.

does he act like a roo? they will be more inquisitive and interested in the general world. im worried that milkshake up there is a roo, but if so she (i say she so as not to jinx) is pretty docile. we shall see.

my unfortunate talent is for picking roos at under a week old because i like inquisitive chicks. such a pain hehe! i think these are both hens because they are really docile, esp the orpington which was sexed in the hatchery. she acts like a textbook orpington hen chick, extremely easy to handle, very sweet, easy to hold. the other one is more active and curious, but still very easy to handle.

yeah some of them get huge seperation anxiety. about the only time waffle will flip her shit is when i take milkshake out and she can't see.

god isnt there a desktop widget for rfjason so i dont have to go to websites?

Awww thank you for the cutes!
