Day Old Chicks!

[Melissashae_zookeeper]

These are my sweet adorable chicks that we hatched out of eggs collected from our chickens. The rooster is a barred rock and the eggs were collected from my hens that are all different. I know 2 chicks hatched from my splash ameracauna and 1 from my easter egger. The other 3 chicks could be from my barred rocknhen or my silver or gold laced wyandottes. But my cousins daughter asked for a "chick photoshoot", and since she's been stuck inside distance learning I obliged. Here are some of the photos!

Your chicks are so cute! The third one down is my favorite! They look like they are posing for an album cover.

Does the dot on some of their heads mean they are roosters? They are adorable!!

I have no idea! I was assuming yes, since BR's can be sexed my their head dots, but upon reading more chicken genetics I think not since not all the hens would carry that gene. But it just became more confusing the more I read. I then tried feather sexing but apparently the father has to be slow feathering for that to work but BR's are fast feathering.

It's a mystery, I guess only time will tell if a few roos end up in freezer camp!

Not exactly a rap album cover, but it could be a band!
