I got the six of them at tractor supply 3/26/09 not sure what they are they came out of a tub marked mixed st. run.
They looked like Barred Rock chicks to me. That is all but one, not sure what it is, has black legs?
I checked the wing feathers and I think / hope they are all pullets time will tell...​

I have them inside for now. Revamped rabbit cage.Solid bottom for the first week.
About 1 week old 3/30/09
I saw one drowned at Tractor Supply so
I put some blue stones / marbles in the water.

I Couldn't stand the wood shavings getting in the food and water.
I tried elevating them still a pain. So I put in a new 1/4"X1/4" wire bottom and
am using the rabbit catch pan for the droppings Much Better Now... :eek:)
