I'll share my perspective. Instead of instructing you on what to do, I'll explain what I did.
The first chickens I got were straight run, which meant some were roosters. Out of the 13 chicks, I was lucky that only 3 turned out to be roosters. When they started fighting, I decided to keep Oreo...
Thank you 😊 I think so to, I just wasn't sure because they are a much much darker gray then Peanut is now and was a chick. She was cloud gray as wee one vs these guys looking more penguin 🐧 as chicks. Completely different!
I am sitting with them (only a foot away from their “safety” tote, while the kids play. Having a safety spot really helps me both keep them safe and makes it easier to collect them to return them to the brooder.
I do not feel comfortable at their age with them out unattended. Plus, my Bigs...

Girls, having done many of these myself over the years, I will pass down the wisdom of women wiser than I was at the time:
It will grow out.
Oh I know, however that kiddo is pretty level headed tbh. She has the soul of experience animal handler I swear 😂 doesn’t bother her overmuch. That said, I personally am glad we got em down before that happened, as an immediate shower is about all that would fix that!
Chicks 2nd trip outside -
We aren’t sure this outside stuff is safe yet, hide on the short huummaann!!!

Hello 👋 @BY Bob and crew, like my hiding place?
