Cute chicks! The second one is looking like a little rooster.

I agree! He is ALL BOY!!! Luckily we are able to keep roosters where we live. He will be our first and we are crossing our fingers that he will be a sweet one--if that is at all possible. Any tips for raising a nice rooster? Or is it just the luck of the draw?

It is possible. I had a little 5 month old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte cockerel. It took a little while for him to warm up to me, but when he did he was so sweet! Unfortunately, he died a few months ago. My advice would be to try and gain his trust now, and if he starts show any aggression whatsoever, then fight back. It worked with one of my little roosters. He gave up, but still trusted me.

Here is a growing up sequence for my little black birchen colored EE girl


Just hatched barely dried


day1 but all dry and fluffy



5 days


11 days


4.5 weeks, quite a bit of a jump, but after they went to the outside brooder it was harder to get shots of every chick every time.



6 weeks 2 days


8.5 weeks



I'm definitely keeping her just haven't come up w/ a name. Her mom is a NN x houdan, and her dad is either an EE or an araucana
