Thanks for the feedback! I will post some more pics when they are a bit older. The family is fascinated with them. They are so much fun!

He got them from a local store. I went there today, and it wasn't a place that I would have gotten chicks. Luckily, the chicks we got look fairly healthy unlike some of the chicks that were for sale.

Updated pics on first post. I would love your thoughts on gender (pretty sure the EE is a pullet). The breed on the red one and black one is stumping me (the other two are barred rock and EE).

Thanks!
