Chick Update: Oh No, NOT A Rooster!

ABOVE: The chicks looked like this 2 weeks ago
ABOVE: At 4 1/2 weeks they look like this!
We had to make a new brooder! These babies are getting huge and they’re eating their chick feed like piglets
We used an old kitchen cabinet that we scored on a re-model job.
ABOVE: Uh oh…Sean Jr might be a rooster. He’s the only chick with red on the crest and cheek.
UPDATE: A lady in my chicken group just told me Sean Jr IS a rooster. I’m so disappointed.
I can’t keep a rooster in this neighborhood. I wouldn’t want to freak out the neighbors. It’s just too bad I don’t live on 50 acres.
PS We still haven’t built a coop.

I blame Sean and Mark
Mark picked out the chick and Sean came over, picked it up and said, “Let’s name this one Sean Jr!”
Men ruin everything for me
Just kidding….kinda sorta
