Don't worry, it looks like they are just growing in new feathers.

 

[Pskawski]

Ahh!! Thank you!!! They arent vaccinated so i was worried.

 

[HappyDuckie]

No problem! Do you know their genders?

 

[Pskawski]

Im thinking i have 2 roosters so far die to comb starting to turn a bright pink/red color, but im not sure how to tell as this is my first rodeo of hatching chicks

That sounds like a pretty good guess! I see at least one boy.

 

[Pskawski]

Hahah yes the one to the left with his neck all up is my guess of the boy! Lol

Poor scraggly things they are definitely in one of the awkward stages of feather growth! Still cute of course!
