I have 2 chicks that are approximately 2 months old. Rain is a Lavender Orpington and Blue is a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. Any guesses as to their sex? The first 4 pics are of Blue and the second 4 are of Rain.

Both pullets, but do you know what happened to their feathers?
I was hoping someone could tell me lol. We bought 10 of our babies from Tractor Supply. They are all gorgeous and fully feathered. They're so freaking soft! We got these 2 from a hatchery - big bucks. Their living conditions weren't great, and all of them were missing feathers like this - even the much older ones. We ended up getting them because we felt like we were rescuing them. The BLRW now has a lot more feathers than before believe it or not. The Orpington actually has more feathers than before, but she's a sad looking little thing, isn't she. She eats constantly. Poops just as often. She's very active, so I think (I hope) she's healthy. Some people suggested worming her, and we're looking into it, but her breed does mature slowly (or so I've read). Vets are kinda backlogged right now, unfortunately.

Sure she’s not a Turken (Naked Neck) mix?
