They are so cute! Can I ask how was your brooder made?

Thanks! So, my son’s class had the chicks in a plastic bin with a heat lamp, and that’s what we did. We just tried to be mindful about how close the lamp was to the chicks. As for the latest pictures, they’re in a pre-fab coop we purchase from Tractor Supply. (I know they’re not the most sturdy but we didn’t have time to make one. We plan to make one in the future and, at least, have a walk-in enclosure around it in the future.)

Update - the chicks are 6 weeks old!
I did my best to take quality pictures of them but definitely struggled. Are their genders identifiable now? I would also appreciate suggestions on breed(s). They were given to my son’s class by a local 4H club, so I don’t expect them to be pure bred by any means. We’re more curious than anything else.

Definitely both pullets. The light one looks like an Easter Egger mix, and it’s likely that they both are. Very cute little girls!

They are very cute. I agree they both look female so far.

Thank you! I’m definitely winning a bet.

We’ve made it past 8 weeks and moved our ladies outside. We’re decided that they’re a mystery mixed breed but wanted some ideas as to what they’re mixed with.
