This is Butterball, started out as the yellowest little chick...amazing how much they change.
Here he is in mid-crow...
Thanks for letting me share!

After I did my chores this morning I took a panoramic pic, the girls (and boys) are enjoying the cooler weather.
Still waiting to see what the little black silkies are, but pretty sure 2 out of the three yellow babies are roosters.

So the chicks are 6 weeks and we added them to the big coop...tonight two of them were fighting, and they have tiny little bits of blood on them.
Is this normal sibling fighting and is actually teaching them stuff.
Alice the Mum just stood there and watched...Stella (an Aunt) gave one a peck...
I sure hope Chiquita is a hen, she is such a sweetie. She has totally figure out who feeds her and comes over to see me all the time...
Up on the water bottle...gotta be eye level you know...for those heart to heart talks.
Hi,
Can you tell me what breed this chicken is?
Also can you tell if a chicken is a hen or a rooster by their beak when they are young?
See how the beak looks thick? Their is another one not as dark colored in the wings and the beak does not have that thick part.
Thanks,
Di
