This morning three chicks got to go to Joey's school. Joey's mom put them in a tote with bedding, food and water.
Hark, JoJo and Eleanor being toted by Joey's mom.
Now that the chicks are ready to go, Joey's mom is wondering how she got herself into this predicament.
Joey's mom follows through with taking the chicks to Joey's kindergarten. Off they go. I wonder what Joey will have to say about the visit with the chicks in his classroom?
Even though we were careful to select pullets (notice not so bumpy comb on Merida) when purchasing the chicks, we may have still ended up with a...
Rooster! Yes, we think Penny is a rooster. This chick is bigger than the other two Rhode Island Reds. When you raise chickens, this is something that you have to take into consideration when buying your chicks.
Roosters are very noisy bright and early in the morning. More than one rooster in the flock can cause a lot of fussing and fighting.
Spurs can leave a quite a wound on the rooster's victim. So, if you want to raise chickens, go into knowing that your pullets could be a rooster. It's so difficult to tell the difference between male and female baby chicks until they are several weeks old.
