Peafowl newby. My mom surprised me with 3 peachicks. The first 2 are about 11 weeks, I believe, and the third is about 2 months.

4 week splash

4 week blue

UPDATE

Wyandottes. 6 weeks old. One silver laced, one golden laced. Both feathered slower than the others. Any thoughts? Getting kinda red!

It's almost normal now! I think it just wasn't completely formed/hardened.

The length wasn't the worry. If you zoom on the pic it is easier to see. The upper part where the nostrils are is not formed like the other chicks.

The bottom chick. The upper part where the nostrils are is not hard and formed like the other chick. It eats fine, but I think some water can come through when it drinks. She otherwise seems fine.

[/IMG]I got 2 speckled sussex chicks today and noticed one has perhaps a beak deformity? Anyone seen this before?

Here she is with my 3 silver laced.

I have 3 silver laced and 2 golden laced and these other 2 look nothing like them besides the faces! They are jet black and white. Hmmm.

Got two of these babies in a mixed color wyandotte bin. There were about 15 in the bin. The sign had all sorts of wyandotte colors listed. Is it a Wyandotte? Black maybe? Doesn't quite look like my Australorp (shown in 1st pic behind it) and has more white on wings. Same comb as wyandotte. Not...

They are 6 or 7 weeks old. These 3 are a lot bigger than my RIR pullet that I got with them (same age) and they all have thicker legs than she has. Could they all be cockerels? Only the white one is obvious to me. He looks and acts like the rooster and feathered a lot slower.

Oh, darn. Let me try again.
