    What is the breed of my yellow chicks

    The black ones are Jersey Giants. They look like baby vultures but they grow up to be big and beautiful. My yellow chicks came from the pullet bin and I think they were a mix of RIR, orpingtons, red sex links, and maybe another. Maybe mine are RIR then. It's so much fun watching them and...

    Jersey Giant

    Thank you for replying. I'll definitely post pics as they get older. I still have a lot to learn. We are enjoying these chicks so much! The kids have already named all 9 of them.

    Brown Leghorn Chicks

    Is there a way to tell by their tailfeathers if a brown leghorn is a hen or Roo? They are a little over a week old and 2 chicks have similar looking tailfeathers and one's tailfeathers look different. I am a newbie and probably know the least about chickens as anyone else here. Always dreamed of...
