    Thank you for the reply. So then it appears I may have a rooster, even though they were all supposed to be sexed hens. Haha oh well. I could use him. The one I have now is mean any ways. Pictures for comparison. They are a day or two old but they look the same as of Friday.

    I just got my first two buff chicks. Is it true that hens feather out first and quicker then males? And if by a week old if they don't have any feathers would it be a good bet they're a rooster?

    The project is going great. I'm working right now but as soon as I get home I have new pictures that if everyone yesterday. An interesting note all the chicks in the organic feed group are at a minimum of 8-10 grams bigger then their same breed counterparts in the name brand feed group.

    The excitement will never end for you! I'm praying one of mine go broody. On the bright side you'll never have a shortage of chicks again.

    Buff Orpington chicks

    Update with pictures of both buff Orpington chicks. An important note, I've noticed through the first week of age all of the chicks on organic feed weigh more then their same breed counterparts in the name brand feed group. The weight difference, if I recall, is atleast an 8 gram if not 10 gram...

    That would be amazing if all ten eggs hatch. You'll have quite a bit to choose from.

    That stage is not far from me! The Silkies looked super weird during their transition. My definite hen buff looks like your second chick but has shoulder feathers and little tail feathers.

    Hector will be very happy. Do you ever show the daddy roosters their children, and if so do they ever seem to know?

    A big indicator I had for my silkies was the size of their feet and legs. Same with Australorps, I use to have them as well.

    Buff Orpington chicks

    I just weighed all my chicks again. For the project I'll be weighing them everyday but I'm not sure yet if I'll update this daily or every other day. The buff chick that grew tail feathers already has some feathers coming in behind her wings so definitely a female. The other buff chick still has...

    That's good to know. Do you know if that would be the same for light brahmas and Easter eggers as well? I will keep everyone posted on how they turn out.

    Thank you for your response. It wouldn't matter to me either way if it was a rooster. I just want to catch this ahead of time. I know with my Australorps around three weeks old the roosters had little combs coming through.
