Woohoo! We just put them in and they’re cuddling together in the shavings as they were already cuddled to go to sleep out in the run.

We have temps only down to 58-62 degrees F and I have a coop where we can close windows to prevent any breeze. I have 4 pullets. One SS is 7 weeks old and 3 Wyandottes around 5-6 weeks old. Mostly feathered. We’re getting bead feathers growing in but have a little bit of fuzz on the main body...

From a week ago- around 5.5 weeks

I know… all 3 of the ones I got look younger but I confirmed the hatch date as 5/30 from the seller. Not exactly sure what’s going on there. I only have 1 body picture from a week ago. Here that one is (the comb looks more yellow a week ago). I’ll get an updated one today.

So I picked up 3 sexed pullets, and it’s looking like 2 are Roos. Lucky me!! I don’t have a great full body picture of the Wyandotte yet but we do have pinkish wattles and a comb coming through. I heard Wyandottes pink up early though? I’m really hoping I have at least 2 pullets but it’s not...

😭 wow I’m getting so unlucky

Now that I’m second guessing everything… how are you with identifying Wyandottes? I read that they tend to pink up earlier. Here’s my 6 week old

Not a great photo…. But we’re looking a bit redder. I’ve heard some pullets coming in looking a bit pinker but I’m not holding my breath anymore.

Apparently, it is in fact 6 weeks old. It isn’t nearly as feathered as the Wyandotte- so could also be a sign of a roo? Just sort of odd that they aren’t more feathered in general. I confirmed the hatch date as 5/30

Dangit! I have a feeling you’re right…. We’ll see!

Thank you!! Maybe I’ll post a photo in 2-4 weeks assuming they’re closer to 4 weeks

Hmm thanks for the heads up on age. I had a feeling they were younger than what the person stated by looking at everyone else’s photos of their 5-6 week olds. The barred rock is confusing to me. Don’t both the Roos and hens end up having red combs and wattles? What should I look out for as first...

That is the one i've been second guessing.... that first photo makes the comb look a bit pinker for sure where other photos I have, it seems all yellow. Bad quality picture right now- sorry! are there any other specific qualities this one is exhibiting that i should look out for?

Actually no videos- couldn't figure out how to post that

Hello everyone! I am a first time chicken owner and recently picked up my first 3 about a week ago. I got a Speckled Sussex, Barred Rock, and Red-laced wyandotte (however i've only seen it written Blue-laced, so i'm wondering if that was some sort of typo?) Anyways. They were estimated to be...
