Yes I do and a week thereafter as well. I am hoping it does great as well, thank you!

<chuckles> too bad I cannot enter any of the contests, thanks its a cute chick!




Tell me with these FAVs how do I know for sure I have a hen chosen to keep, obviously I am not keeping 20 of these chicks! so I will need to choose from the lot.

Between 2-3 weeks you can be pretty confident which are males and which are females. The females won't have any black feathers.
