I recently got three new chicks to add to my chicken collection. I got them from IFA so supposedly they are all pullets, but I'm questioning one. Also they are bigger then most chicks at the stores around here, so I'm not sure of their age. What do you think? (and sorry for the bad quality pictures - I have to use the camera on my phone)
This is a Golden Campine. This is the chick that I'm questioning if it's really a pullet. The comb is slightly larger then the others and tilts a bit to the left. Do you think it's gonna be a roo or is that just the breed? Also what age?
This is a Barred Plymouth Rock. Age and gender please?
This is a Rhode Island Red. Age and gender please?
Just a few more questions. I have four other chickens. They are about 8 weeks old. They look like grown chickens accept they are smaller because they are younger. One of them is a little Roo (he's a Bantam). With that in mind, when can the chicks be in the same coop as the older chickens? At the moment the chicks are in a crate, and the other chickens can see in the crate so they know the chicks are there. Also, say the one chick is a roo, can I have two roos together, or will that cause problems? I can have roos where I live so that isn't an issue. Please let me know what you think.
