Don’t forget to lend your thoughts and help a fellow chicken lover out!
| | We got several from Tractor Supply when they were approximately one day old. They’re about 6 weeks old now. They were supposed to all be female. Is this one a Roo though? The other 3 yellow chicks stayed yellow variants, this one turned this darker color and is getting bigger, quicker. Thanks in advance 🙏 [link] [comments] |
