Howdy. I have 3 chickens that are 8 weeks old, one that is 9 weeks old (the crested one). I have never raised chicks before, and I got these from a local farm as straight run. Really thinking I’m down on my luck with this batch- I originally had 8 and 4 got bright red combs really early at 5 weeks. I can’t keep any roosters. Please help me figure this out. In order, we have Basic Black, Bluey, Bearded Lady/Earmuffs, and Hairdo. Don’t judge the names lol I’m trying to not get attached. The black one and silver chicks constantly square up with each other. None of them are particularly brave nor have passed the “rooster test” of running at perceived danger. Any tips or help is greatly appreciated!
