HELP! I got these peeps from a completed school classroom project, from somewhere in Indiana. I got no information other than then are approximately 3 weeks old. I have no idea what breed. Despite what some of the images look like, they are GREY in color. Any thoughts?

Thanks Diva.

Thank you to all who replied to my questions. Sadly I have to report that less than a week after this photo was taken I had a very crafty raccoon find its way thru a tiny weakness in my chicken run, and this beautiful young hen was killed. Traps are set for the predator, and the pen is as...

Hello fellow chicken fans In June I stopped by Meyer Hatchery and picked up 4 new babies. They were in the bin where you could pick any color that you wanted and take your chances as to what breed they were - although the very sweet lady at Meyer took pity on me when I told her I lived in...

When can I mix new 2015 chicks with my adult girls? The new babies are just 2 days old and the girls are 2 years old. Thinking ahead
