Runing thread: Identify me!

I know its early but lets place some bets!
#1 looks like a cockeral to me. Not quite sure on #2, but I'm leaning towards cockeral as well. Since you are hoping for pullets, I will hope that I'm wrong.- ksacres

2 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte with single comb (pictures)
The other chick looks to have dark feet and also seems to be a different color pattern. That is why I asked about available breeds.- ksacres

New To Chickens - Mite/Lice Problem?
It sounds like lice to me. If it is warm in your area, I would wash all the birds with mild liquid soap (I always use Ivory),rinse, and then a dip in malathion bath. If it isn't warm or you can't bathe all the birds, make a dilute spray and use on vent area, under wings, and under hackle...- ksacres

2 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte with single comb (pictures)
That chickie has a single comb, it will not magically turn into the correct (rose) comb. It's possible that it was accidently mixed in the the group. What other breeds were they offering?- ksacres

Is it just me? Have we lost a lot of members? Members posting differently?
I also want to say that I find the new layout much more difficult to navigate/follow posts/load. I do understand the need for the change, and I also believe that it was in the best interest of BYC, but that doesn't make it any more user-friendly.- ksacres

I haven't been a very active poster for a while, from even before the site change. Some of it was because of personal reasons, the rest of it was that, to me, the feel of BYC has changed.
