The girls arrived yesterday...one day early but that is ok. DH worked really hard to get the coop ready for them.

We have 26 chicks: 2 Ameruacanas, 2 Dominiques, 2 Gold Laced Wydottes, 2 Buff Orphingtons and 18 New Hampshire Reds.

12 of the NHRs are going to my cousin's dairy farm in 2 weeks. Right now, the BOs have marks on their heads from the hatchery. Will I be able to tell them apart from the NHRs in 2 weeks?

Thanks!
 
I've never raised New Hampshire Reds but I'm raising Buff Orpingtons now and I have raised production reds before. I believe in about 2 weeks they should have wing feathers and the Buff Orpington feathers should be pale yellow and the New Hampshire Reds should have reddish wing feathers. Hope this helps and congratulations on the new chicks

Enjoy them while they're small because they grow like weeds!
