7-8 week old chicks ??

This one (in the front) looks like a rooster to me. The rest look like pullets. Have fun with your new chickens! Welcome to Back Yard Chickens!

We think this one is a rooster as well. We named it Dusty so it's a girl/boy name! Haha

You need to do something with your CC very soon. Those birds are bred to live to 8 weeks, then be butchered. If they are allowed to live further, they will just suffer, and end up dieting of a burst heart, or their legs will break,a nd they won't be able to move. So either you need to butcher it, or give it to someone else that can.

That's what I've read. When we bought it we thought it was a leg horn. I believe we do have one leg horn (I will send a photo for clarification) the Cornish cross is my favorite. Such a sweet chicken. Here is the leg horn. I believe

that's not a leghorn either, not with the blue legs.

Any idea about this girl? Or boy? We are laughing because we had the breeds of all of our chickens all wrong! This is exactly what we needed someone else's advice and information!
