Hi y'all.
I have had my new baby chicks for 9 days now. They have adjusted well. I had two of them with pasty butt. One stopped (I think the Easter egger) after a couple days but one of my SW had an issue for about a week but looking good now

Anyway, mt light brown chick (i think is the Easter Egger) seems to be growing quite fast and has longer tail feathers than the Wyandottes...is this indicative to the bread or do I have a ROOSTER!!??

That looks like a girl as of now. Watch the comb and wattles. They will be getting big and red if "she" is a boy.

Thanks MP.
She is becoming my favorite and I would be disappointed if she turned out to be a he.

Can anyone tell me if my chickens are Rhode Island reds. I bought them from rural king and they called them hatcheries choice and said they where a meat bird.

You probably should post this in your own thread as you'll get more replies. But, the one in this pic^ looks like a cockerel, the other one looks like a pullet.
