    4 week old polish, any thoughts on gender?

    She still has color coming in, this is our first polish, obviously our first blue, I am calling her blue cause that is what we ordered. I am fine if she is a splash, as long as she is a hen, haha. Now just waiting to see what the other two will end up being. Their little crests are so funny...

We didn't want the surviving chick (named Lucky) to be alone, so we went to the feed store and bought two more. Of course they were not sexed, I believe...

So far they are not interested in any veggies, or anything else. But I will keep introducing it. I am for sure going to...

    We have a 100w light bulb in our coop for our little chickens, we only have three, they weigh less than a pound and the coop is pretty big for them, compared to what could fit in the coop. We just got the coop two days ago and last night was their first night in it. Needless to say I am a worry...
