kikwi - hilarious that our flocks are identical!

ki4got - at barely 20 weeks they should be laying? I was mentally prepared for more like 24-26 weeks... I really hope you're wrong that they're both boys! That would be crushing.

If long saddle feathers would be apparent at this age on a crested male, then she's a pullet - her saddle feathers are super short, even compared to the multi. Fingers tightly crossed :)

Mtadkins5, can you post a photo of your brooder? It definitely sounds like you need more ventilation. Could you leave the cover off completely or do they need protection from other pets? If they need protection from your other pets, consider cutting out part of the cover and replacing it with...

Thanks, Bernie56! They are getting so beautiful! Would the comb be larger? It's about comparable to my multi's comb. Here is a better photo of her face:

SunnySkies, so sorry to read about your morning. Good luck with the fortifications! I'm in need of an assist, SFH owners. I have my first chicks, and two are 6 week old SFH. Since I am a total noob at this, I'm not sure what I should be looking for to determine if these are some beautiful...
