2 chicks need to fly -- I am cleaning out the brooder for next hatches, so those who didn't make second cut need to go. There will probably be some more fresh ones coming soon, and some more older ones too. But none currently 👀.. Just sorted through, so it'll be at least a couple more days before I make any other decisions:
1. Black chick, suspected silkie feathering (appears to have silked wing feathers coming in) but no promises. White tip on beak should go away. Comb is correct, and it has no other skin leakage. My issue is that it only has 4 toes. I don't keep non-project color birds with 4 toes. Less than a week. STRAIGHT RUN. CAN LEAVE BY ITSELF IF YOU HAVE OTHER CHICKS. This one is 💲⏬️ to move. Has been brooded together with the chick below.
2. Hatched chocolate, appears to be feathering out blue (?) Chick. I am colorblind, so please reference pictures. Mottled carrier. No skin leakage, correct toes (5) correct comb, white beak tip should turn black with age. Mottled carrier. About 2 weeks old. STRAIGHT RUN. CANNOT LEAVE BY ITSELF. MUST LEAVE WITH BLACK CHICK OR I WILL RETAIN AND USE IT IN MY PROGRAM. 😊
They are not sick, it was cold outside and the wind was whipping. I was shivering with a coat.
CROZET VA PICKUP ONLY. No chick transport until it warms up for the safety of the birds. Thank you for understanding. Please message me for more info. 🙂
