Chicks skin can look a little red, by the pics I wouldn’t be concerned about that
She’s taking longer to dry because she doesn’t have any other chicks to rub up against
Well I guess you’ll find out when they lay eggs
Hopefully they are
Definitely possible they are mixes, you could post when they are older and maybe someone can id if they have barred rock in them
I don’t know much about breed id for barred rocks, but they have yellow legs like yours so it’s possible
I’m always grateful for healthy chicks
My last had wry neck and required round the clock care for four days until he recovered, I’m honestly shocked he survived
I’m sorry for your loss
They are barred/cuckoo, possibly some blue cuckoos
They are very cute
This is my barred rooster, so you can see the pattern they’ll have
And yes Easter eggers can come in that colour, Easter eggers are mixed breeds and can come in most colours
He was hatched by me and have been introduced to any other chickens
I noticed in the morning before I handled him
He’s eating chick starter crumble
Thankfully after about ten minutes he stopped having any respiratory distress and seems fine now
I suspect the brooder was too dusty and he inhaled...
