Hello everyone! I am a brandy spanking new chicken owner. I have three lovely little ladies (hoping they're all ladies anyway lol), the women we got them from wasn't positive of the breeds, and she said they were almost 4 months old. If you have any further insight I would love to hear it!

A quick guess from the pics-I would say Easter Eggers? If so, they are my favorite breed for personality......very friendly!

And WELCOME TO BYC and chicken keeping!
 
That was my guess. The woman pulled several green and blue eggs out of the boxes, she did have a few different breeds, but most looked like ours. Also, does anyone know if its normal for a 3-4 month old chicken to be bald under it's wings/back? Could it be finishing getting it's feathers in?

Welcome to BYC!

Depends on how bald you are talking about. There is not a lot of feathers under the wings, especially on young chicks. As long as the skin is not red or irritated looking, they are probably fine.

If you are still wondering about the breeds of your birds, you can also post pics in our What Breed section for more help..

Enjoy your new flock and welcome to ours!
