Great that you found caring homes for all of them! Hopefully they'll have long, happy lives, and maybe you'll get some updates on them as well!!!

I'm assuming you don't want them eaten, so you're better off keeping them:lau. I have enough (male) breeders as is!

Oh, I remember Lady Gaga's beginner crows. So cute :love

It's more likely that I change my mind than the chickens changing the plans :p . But yes, if it were something more long term, I'd probably have backup plans

The biddies are not so biddy anymore. Hopefully in two weeks, I can tell the males from the females. That's when most will go. I'll keep all the LF males for butchering (or at least, that's the current plan), and all the non-keeper LF females, along with the serama males will be given. The...

They're doing good. The ugly phase progresses, but they're growing! Eating, drinking, (pooping a lot:sick), and play fighting

I've never kept one of the breeds you have/had, the closest I've come to doing so is a generational silkie mix that crowed at 6 months old or so. That's pretty standard for my birds. Lady Gaga crowed at 12 or so weeks, his sons crowed at around the same time. That's early for me. My standard...

Let's hope Tintin works out for you, then!

I've found that most cockerels go throught a constant crowing phase, that (most) grow out of. The decibels they reach is not something I've found to be controllable

8 WEEKS?! Ummmmm that's WAY too early for me. Even Lady Gaga was older when he crowed! I'm not so sure on that hypothesis either, but doesn't hurt to theorise Oh my gosh, that guy is HILARIOUS🤣

I guess I'm just mean:p. I think they're ugly right then and there. Doesn't mean I love them any less...they're just...going through a phase

I too love the teen stage, but the mid-late teen stage. From 6-8 weeks and up. That's when they start looking cute again, and actually start living like chickens

Yall are WAYYY nicer:lau . Out here they've been getting called feathered rats (no offense to any rat owner). The only ones I could say are kiiiinda cute are the serama

I guess early crowing is connected with early maturation, and as such, lots of hormones at an age that's not appropriate?

At that age, it'd be physically impossible for a chick to make this sound. Just because the crowing is not well defined, doesn't mean it's not a crow. It's just the best lil' man can do

You're way nicer. All they've been hearing from me these past few days is "you're not the prettiest right now, but it'll pass!":lau

This is the first day some of the chicks turn 3 weeks old! They're in the ugly stages :p

That's the most adorable thing ever :love . 6 days is still VERY impressive! As you can see BDutch, anything is possible with these birds!

Pipd, did you have any three week olds when the three day olds were crowing? It seems sooo early, but you never know what to expect with these fowl :p

Right?! That's like, giving birth to a child, and a week later, it's running laps around the living room :th
