NY chicken lover!!!!

I think it is a young hen ...my white rocks looked like this at pullets ..
and the fact that is so friendly says hen to me

I have a sibling to it that is definately a pullet and she is much smaller and no wattles coming in. Oh and her comb is much smaller. His father was crazy friendly like this when he was a chick so hoping this is a trait he is passing on to all his babies. Thanks for your input! Maybe someone might end up with a nice Olive Egger layer.

They are very cute! Did you pick specific breeds or just what was cute.

hubby was able to get them through his job. They had three kinds, i liked the idea about variety so we got 3 amaraucanas, 2 buff brama, and 1 amberlink.
We were going to pick 2 of each but after i picked 2 of the amaraucanas hubby fell in love with a brown one and we couldn't put one back. Lol

You got unsexed I take it? You have one cockerel I think....the names are cute - take lots of pics they grow really fast

They are supposed to be sexed. I hope one is not a rooster (although I know its a possibility.) Kids would be devastated. Can't have them where I live.

Hopefully I'm wrong - it has been known

Thanks all for kind messages about losing Fern from our flock.

Wonderful 50 degree day here today nr Buffalo, so I got outside for a walk, excited to find some signs of spring

Then when I checked the nest box on my way back to the house, saw that our matriarch Sylvia, a Brown Leghorn who will be 4 in April, had laid her first egg of the year! A bit long and pointy, but sure it will taste wonderful!

Greeting to new members on this forum - it's a great place - love seeing the chick pictures. Off to Tractor Supply for layers pellets now, having just received an email that 'Chick Days' have started. I mustn't look!!!
