Can anyone help me identify the breeds of these pullets? :-)

My question is not fire related, but this fire is breaking my heart. Several friends have lots homes, numerous friends evacuated. It's incredibly sad. Here is my unrelated question: my chickens are around 15-16 weeks old and they are getting loud! Not crowing, just squawking. I read somewhere...

They are buff orpingtons and made very cute yellow chicks just a few months ago! They just look so different from each other so I couldn't tell. Thank you!

Last picture.

Roo?

Can anyone tell if one of the yellow chickens is a roo? They look so different from each other. I'll try and post a few more with different angles

We are looking at moving from the Springs to Monument. Anyone know the rules on chickens there? I am looking and looking and can't seem to find it anywhere, so I thought this might be quicker.

ha! I love the name Malfoy!

That is super helpful, thanks! My Brahma is the dominant one and she is so bossy! Bossy describes her perfectly. And, she is so loud. Anytime she gets food, she runs around the yard squawking and making a seen...even if no one is following her. It's quite entertaining.

Another question from a new chick owner: when is pecking order established? My chicks, that are now 2 months old get along so well...I'd love if pecking order was already established. There is definitely a dominant one, but she's not mean. Does that mean pecking order is established?

Thnks for the help everyone! I don't think it's my coop that's lightweight. I've never posted a picture before. My husband made it and its anchored to logs, but it sits up so the chickens can hang out underneath it. I'll try some of your suggestions! Thanks so much for everyone's help.

I need some advice, please. (First time chick owner) I moved my 5 chicks to the coop yesterday. They were so excited and did great last night with a heat lamp. But, they came out of their coop this morning and I think they can't figure out where their food and water is? I'm not sure. They keep...

Does chick food not have grit in it? Oh my...so much to learn. It sure looks grittish.

Yes, they played major keep away with the shredded cheese. But, once they won, they didn't want it anymore. :-) Thanks for the help!

Aaand just kidding. They will be two weeks on Sunday. :-) That's probably really why they don't like anything yet.
