Thank you! I think you nailed it. I googled light brahma bantams and they're a match to her! My youngest squealed in delight when she seen the pictures of what Sassy will look like fully grown. :)
We've been trying to figure out what Sassy is for months now. She/he was hatched by my daughter's ag class just before Easter and told they were bantams, so that's all we know. Poor little Sassy has taken a very, very long time to get big kid feathers. After being the ugly duckling in the flock...
This little one is finally getting feathers. My daughters ag class hatched this 'bantam' but we have no clue what it is. She/he has stayed small and fuzzy forever it seems. Hatched the week before Easter and just feathered this past week. Breed and gender anyone?

Thank you! We are putting a reinforced screened door on for the summer. And there will be a solid, split door for winter. The top has ventilation through the peak, but I'll see what we can do for a south facing window. I appreciate any advice we can get from those with experience!
The tractor...
Good morning! Our flock is diversifying even more. My daughter's ag class hatched eggs and she came home with 5 more chicks.
We are also getting the coop area ready further. The fence is up and the new coop is just waiting for a for a door and finishing touches.
It's all still a work in...
Newbie questions
We are almost ready to move the chickens out of the tractor and into the coop we have been building. Right now it's a pretty simple building, we just got the floor in and are working on the door. My question is more for the purpose of figuring out where to put the feed and...
Got in with the flock today and got a good look at my EEs. Determined this is not a pullet and now have to figure out what to do with him.
She, on the other hand is turning into a beautiful young lady.
