Another Newbe Question- Please Help me.

I am sorry I am being so needy I am just worried about getting too attached to these chickens just to have to get rid of them. I worry myself to death sometimes

Peeps is a Black Australorp (just like my Olympia!)
Zora is a Silver Laced Wyandotte (just like my Vanda!)
both look like girl to me, maybe Zora's a tad rooish...

That is exactly what I am suspecting but thanks for the help.

Well anyone else have an opintion weather they are roos? I wish there was some sure way to tell. How old will they be when I will be able to tell for sure?

I was gonna say the same thing. At 4 wks. I'm not convinced these are roos at all. I have both the Austrolorp and SLW and they change so much during the feathering stage that I was not convinced I got what I ordered, but they were!

The SLW are pretty. I'll try and attach a bad pic. of one of ours at about 4 months old. She was coming out of the coop
Her name is Princess Maude.
The SLW can be a bit flighty so continue making contact with her to get used to you guys. We didn't and they run from us.

Well she is beautiful, I purchased them both as austrolorps but I wanted a SLW also so it doesn't bother me. They are such beautiful birds.
