My 10 month old Cochin roo had his eye closed yesterday evening during their free range time. This morning, he was standing in the back of the coop with his head on the ground. We've brought him inside to warm him up and he just wants to sleep.
He will drink if I dip his beak in the water, but...
Are these two Speckled Sussex chicks? I have a lot of "chipmunks" so I've narrowed it down as best I could to these two because they have the whiteish/pinkish (not yellow) legs and white on the wings. They are also more brown and chestnut than the ones I believe to be EE and Welsummers.

She laid the first one at the door of their coop (their coop is only temporary, it's an old shed) on Thursday. Then Friday she laid one around the corner of the building. So, I...
This is Mrs. Doubtfire (now aka "Fluffy"). (S)he was my "free" mystery chick from Murray McMurray. This is the quietest bird of the entire bunch, and whenever (s)he does chirp, it's very different sound from all of the others. (S)he is also very large and was very, very slow to get any feathers...
