I've enjoyed watching her change for sure. She's very inquisitive, and she's one of the first to run up to see what I might have when I walk in the run or coop. Just this week, she's gotten to where if I kneel down, like to replace bedding in the nest boxes, she'll hop up on my knee and settle there like she wants to take a nap. This isn't a great picture of her because she was very interested in noises outside of the run and refused to look my way.
What a pretty girl! She does look like my NH's.
If she has a single comb, she is likely a NH or a rir. RIR are darker though. If she has a pea comb, should be a buckeye. Amber from Meyer Hatchery told me that the free chicks, especially the free cockerels, are often Rhode Island reds, just wanted to throw that out there.
She's got a single comb. I thought she was a buckeye at first. Her coloring looked exactly like those chicks in their pictures, and her comb was so tiny I couldn't tell. But after it started to grow in the first week, I knew she was not a buckeye, lol. I'm really leaning towards NH.
Haha I love that! That's how I feel about my knowledge!
Rir cockerels tend to be a bit feisty, as I've heard, lol. I also have a meal maker and a homestead helper on my order, praying for anything but a Rhode Island red since I already have a pullet and don't want an aggressive roo
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! But man, was he a cute little thing when they got here! Just look at the poof.Rir cockerels tend to be a bit feisty, as I've heard, lol.

Just asking whats pullets? Roosters?
Pullets are female chickens under 1 year of age. Cockerels are male chickens under 1 year of age. At 1 year old and after they are called hens and roosters.
Thanks
