new chick


We have had two hens in the backyard for a few years now. Back in May, one of them died of congestive heart failure, so we bought a replacement chick Memorial Day weekend. The new chick is a gold-laced wyandotte. The cat was interested in the chick, so came and laid next to the cage/brooder under the heat lamp. When we let the chick out, she would climb up on the cat's back, which the cat didn't mind until the chick started her (normal for chickens) pecking behavior.
