Hi -unfortunately one of my hens was sneaky and hid a nest which wasn't discovered until 7 of the 8 chicks were born! They were born approx. 3/21 - so 5 weeks old now. The dads are basically mixed breeds. Fairly certain the big combs and wattles are the boys...others not too sure of. Any...

They free range each and every day and go into the coop at night - this is what...
