I got these two from a feed store across town. At the time, I knew I wanted bantam chicks and I wanted hens, and I'm pretty sure that's what I've got. Now, however, I'd kind of like to know what kind they are! The blueish grey one is Peep, she's very sweet, loves for me to pick her up and goes nuts for grapes. The brownish one is Repeep, she's not so friendly and, for being the same age as Peep, is quite a bit bigger. They're both 16 weeks old today.
This one is Snowflake. She was given to me by a very young neighbor. She has the mom chicken, who looks nothing like the baby, but Snowflake was getting picked on by everyone so she had to find a new home. She said she's about a year old and hasn't layed yet, but also said that chickens have to be about a year old before they start laying, so...She's a little bit smaller than Peep and Repeep, so am I correct in guessing that the girl was wrong and she's not anywhere near a year old, probably about the same age as the other two? And any idea on the breed?
Thanks everyone!
