I'm thinking the one closest to the camera and the reddish one directly behind him are roo's....what do you think? Also, what breed is Chick 4? It was supposed to be a Buff Orpington...As was Chick 2. Chick 1: Chick 2: Chick 3: Chick 4:
That one was always darker, even at a week old... When we got him/her, my husband asked the guy about it, but he can't remember what he said. :/ Time will tell I guess. I really hope it's not a rooster, but it seems he may well be...

Our chicks are a week old today and I've noticed that one of the Easter Eggers (the one in the back) has a puffer face than the other...is this something that will remain or eventually fade? She is also the noisiest one of the group :) .
