Thanks for your replies. The new chickies and their coop mates (4 turkey poults) are separated from the big girls now. They are 7 weeks old, and doing really well. The chickies and poults are flocking up so I think that will help. We had the chickies in a bunny cage in with the big girls for...

Thanks for the tip. I looked up the Cochin Bantams and think she could be either a Buff or a Red (she is very red now so will see what she looks like as she gets older). I always thought a chicken was a chicken was a chicken!

Cluck Cluck! Our chicks are almost nine weeks old. This little gal was suppose to be a RIR, but turned out as some kind of bantam. I have searched the web for her specific breed (could not find any mention of RIR bantams or anything close to what she looks like). Any clues from the pros...
