Thank you. I can get a better side shot after a while... Here is an action shot of it. It initiates these "stand- offs" all the time.

Please help! I think we have a mix of both males and females but I'm a newbie. These are 10 week old Easter Eggers - which are boys and which are girls? Also, can you tell me why you think what you think so I can learn. If the white one is a cockerel he'll be our flock's rooster.

Thanks for the help, all. To clarify: I'm in Montana and it is cold here with the average for our area in February being 33 degrees. The coop will have a small upper window that is able to be opened, closed or partially closed and is reinforced with hardware cloth to keep it safe and secure...

I forgot to mention that we plan on keeping the chicks in the "coop box" exclusively at first without access to the run.

We will be getting our newly hatched chicks (from a hatchery) in mid February and are making plans for brooding them. We don't have any chickens right now, so we are building a brand new coop and run. We're going to brood outdoor from day 1 and use a heating pad rather than a heat lamp and I'm...
