Hi y'all, I'm brand new to chicken keeping. Picked up these 4 pullets about 3 weeks ago from a local feed store. I was told they were about 6-8 weeks old.

This girl has a very upright posture. She seems calmer, bolder, and more curious than the other girls. More and more green showing up in her feathers.

These next 2 are going to be harder....

I got 2 EEs, neither of them had tail feathers when I brought them home. This one had pinfeathers growing in, but somehow a few of them broke and started bleeding, causing the other hens to pick at her. Luckily I caught it quick and Pick No More put a stop to that problem. Now her tail feathers are coming in but they look pretty shabby.

And this one still has no tail feathers, but I haven't seen anyone picking at her. She's in isolation right now; went to the vet this morning for vent gleet. :(

I'd appreciate it if anyone wants to play "guess the gender." Really hoping they're all pullets because I can't keep roosters in my city.

Thanks in advance!
