    Advice needed!!!! First night with no heat lamp.

    awesome thanks :) i just wasnt sure if the huddling was a sign of being cold, scared or just normal for some chicks when turning off the lights. The two up top have been roosting at night up there for weeks now so i knew they would be fine just wanted to make sure all of them were good.

    GLW roo or hen??

    She is only 5 weeks, hatched Feb 22nd. That is why i thought it was a little early to determine but the comment about it being a roo came from a family member that is very familiar with chickens so i became concerned. Thanks for your opinion :)

    Start of hackles??? Breed and Gender help?

    Out of nine 4.5 week old chicks i have one with long neck feather. They are very pretty but concerned that it might be the start of hackles.
