Chickabee Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 My new chicks are going to be almost identical. I want each of them to have equal amounts of my attention as they will be raised under a lamp. Can I use nail varnish or is that too pungent. I would only need a tiny blob.

Beantree Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Danger is they will peck at anything out of the ordinary. Traditionally they used to clip the webs on the feet! Don't know what to suggest Chickabee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What about a "tiny" dot of food colouring on the back of the head, obviously not red!!!! Or just lavish them with love........you do know chick watching is obsessive and you will get nothing much else done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I wouldn't mark them with anything just in case it causes pecking issues leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Leg rings? I wouldn't worry about giving them equal attention they're not children and won't get jealous, just enjoy having them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm determined to make these as friendly as possible. These are incubator reared. My last chicks were reared by my Pekin frizzle. She was a bit neurotic plus the chicks were cream legbars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
