This is my other barred Plymouth rock

Oh geez, do e think he's a roo? Should be around 3 weeks old.

Those almost look like Wyandottes to me except for the feathers on the legs...I have 2 light brahmas that are about 1-2 weeks old and one is double the size of the other. I just figured one was "the runt" of the flock.

They are all the same age. About 19 weeks. 2 RIR, 2 Black Australorp, 2 leghorns.

Hello All! My husband and I just got our first flock of chickens this year! He has wanted them for a few years now and I have not, knowing that I would be the one who ends up taking care of them. I finally relented thinking, "okay now that he has permission, he'll give up and not want to get...
