5 Wk old stunted “Runt” Temperature tolerance

I honestly don’t remembered if the owner told me or not. I asked him before I left to write all the different breeds he sold me down for me but he never did & after meeting some local chicken raisers in my area I don’t think his opinion is very reliable anyway a lot of people say that he doesn’t know his breeds and sells a lot of roosters...he sold me what were supposed to be3 white leghorn chicks and 2 of them ended up being Meat birds someone on here guessed Cornish x ( one who sadly didn’t make it, and the other who I’m trying to keep healthy (I don’t eat meat) is pretty much already full grown I keep him moving a lot so he doesn’t end up like a factory bird, did I mention he’s a rooster also ?? Owner he told me they were all gaurenteed females.

Here is a picture of Josephine and her “sibling”. What she looks like now in comparison to Josephine. I don’t think they are the same breed and I also have a silvery colored white Americana chick that I have questions about also I’m not so sure what she is unless they come in her coloring??

They are all very cute!
I am not good at guessing breeds at all, especially with chicks. Wait until they have feathered out more and post on the "What Breeds" forum. Those folks are good at identification:)
 
Today when I went to check and observe a little how everyone else was treating Josephine, and I did notice she has to wait until every bird is done until she can eat, some protect her, but some like my Sapphire Gems I saw one kick her, the other one jumped on her. But she’s had that happen before when the were all together inside, idk she’s just a tough cookie lol she’s makes her way through she eventually gets to eat, she drinks and her two Silkie roommates (the last 3 chicks I had inside) seem to try and block her from the others so she doesn’t get trampled by the meat bird I have faith, I noticed today she has gold coming in like another wing tip type thing across her back feathers just like the white cane in but the gold came in on the feathers closer to her neck the white is on the tips of her wing feathers I believe.
