    9 week old chicks like rain?

    We had a tstorm tonight. Lots of wind and rain and I looked out to check on the babies because they are in a small coop that they can go outside or inside on their own.

    Buff Orpington 9 weeks and scratching at eye

    Barred Rock Roos??

    Buff Orpington 9 weeks and scratching at eye

    Barred Rock Roos??

    These are my 3 Barred Rock Beauties. I am pretty sure the 2 lite ones are Roosters. They are 9 weeks here and I heard one of them crowing this morning, not sure which one though. Interestingly, the dark one is the most unfriendly one! What do you think??
