Hav x2 young chickens one is definitely a rooster (the darker grey) the other I’m still sitting on the fence with
They are both a bit over 3 months old..
What do u think??
I have a 2-3 week old chick that was fine until yesterday...

only closer inspection it’s indigested grass .. chick seems lethargic especially compared to the other two.
Must mention chick are with their mum 😊
