I agree... although my previous little one had red wattles actually dropping down at 4 weeks! The tall one just stands very tall and pecks hard.. its the biggest. The little one to the left is my little crybaby bird, always chirping, much smaller than the others. But nothing physically distinguishing just yet.
so it had to have a little hair shampoo and then hung out with me for a hair dry. It actually chilled out on my hand and was falling asleep, and then wouldn't let go when i took it back to the brooder! 
Aw, it’s super sweet when they want to stay on your hand <3 We’re getting another heat wave here, the chicks arent even using their unheated cave anymore.Look at this little one.. someone pooped on its face
I love sweet birds.. can't wait to see how they grow!

Funny, these guys have adjusted so fast.. Even with the ac going. Well its a more reasonable 105 now vs 115.. but house will stay at 75. No more chirping at night before bed, but omg 5:55am... once they see sunlight, they are hungry and making a ruckus!
but they still have a lot of growing before they are out of the brooder to socialize.Are your d’uccles super sweet too? I’m in love with mine!Funny, these guys have adjusted so fast..

I've been letting my big girls out in the hall each day while i clean their coop. At first they were super curious about the chicks, but now they seem to be ignoring them. That's great though for integration purposes. I'm not worried about the D'uccles, but Elsa, my cochin, in theory should be nice, but i swear shes soo moody!!
No, it looks wonderful, and they look so happy!! I have a desert rock yard, no beautiful green anything for them except organic spring greens from a plastic Walmart tub.Are your d’uccles super sweet too? I’m in love with mine!
Does this make me look like a tyrant? I kind of just left the chicks out there on their own during free range hour

Keep them! They aren't too big.. and you can add bantam Easter Eggers too!!Aww, hopefully you will be moving to somewhere that is a lot more free range friendly!
I’m considering switching to an all bantam flock... but i love my blue eggs too much to give away my EEs
I want to, but I need to figure out a way to offload the roosters! haha.Keep them! They aren't too big.. and you can add bantam Easter Eggers too!!
I think ill stick to bantams even once i get more space. Besides, they like to fly up on my arm/ shoulder, so the lighter the better!!
I have been surprised at how many people are ok w roosters on mewe or Craigslist.. especially anything that looks pretty or helps make pretty babies!
