LOL, those belly-rubbing pics are HILARIOUS!
That one just has a look that says, "Well, get on with it!"

Too cute. And it's great to get another look at the plexi-walled brooder again!

How do you do that? When I try they just chirp really loud and try to get away! I would like it if mine would do that...

Just pick up the bird, make them calm down a bit, turn them over, but their back down, hold till they go limp. Done! I've done it with big adult roosters.

Man...sounds easy but I bet It will be difficult, because they chirp and move around and I feel bad...lol, but thankyou! Im on my way to try that!

That is funny Freebie's daughter does the same thing to her new 3 wk old chicks! I saw some baby Guenia(can't remember how to spell) Keets in the feed store the other day, they were so cute, they looked nothing like they would all grown up! I loved your pictures.

Thanks everyone! I was away from them for a good part of the day and I swear they done changed a whole bunch. They grow so fast. My daughter and son just hold and love them and then start rubbing their little bellies and lay them over and rub some more. I am so happy cause they know my voice and when they hear me they all come running to me.

My husband thinks I am crazy cause I talk to them so much. Take Care Yall!
