I ask because I am thinking there is a way for you to turn your phone to the side so you get a wide video recording:) On iPhone you just turn it on it's side and you get a wide video.

Try holding sideways and upload a test video to see:) Or, look up how to take wide shot video with your phone. Maybe it's in your owners manual?

I will try and do that :) Meanwhile... I have a question.... I got my chicks today and I have 3 different colors. I think the black ones are Barred Rock... but not sure about the other 2. Can you tell by these pictures?

Awesome, now, to find out which are girls and if they gave me some roos! I REALLY hope I have all girls... but I'll be ok with roos too... just worried, if they gave me 5 roos.... isn't that to hard on the girls? I know I ordered 10 pullets for SURE.... but I read you should only have 1 roo to every 10, I don't want the girls to be hurt!!
