1 out of 6 chicks and this one…
Our take
Meet our feathered friend, the one out of six chicks who’s already causing a bit of a cluck! About five weeks ago, I embarked on an egg-citing journey, incubating eight bantam eggs, and to my delight, six hatched. However, there’s a little feathered mystery brewing—one chick seems to be showing signs of becoming a rooster, with a comb that’s turning quite red. Is this little one truly on the path to fowl-hood?

Your insights could help unravel this clucky conundrum.
