My little one.

I was giving so attention to my Easter egger (Babs.) Then my Lavender orpington, (I call her lavender) jumps up to claim some of the attention too. I love my younger flock. My older birds want nothing to do with me unless I bring treats.

Adorable! They are both super cuties

Aw! I love that stage. And it's true, chicks love interacting with you and stuff but when they get older they get skittish and they don't want to be touched. I wonder why.

And, belatedly, welcome to BYC!

That is a very good question..

I've had mine all of a sudden get super skittish, sometimes 3 weeks sometimes later, then a few will calm back down, others will calm down when they start laying. And some just stay skittish forever I handle them all the same.

Both are very pretty but I'm wondering if the one on the left is a boy?

Better not be. I got her from a feed store and paid a pretty penny for it not to be a boy and they were very adament they do not sell roosters.

They sure are adorable!

Well hopefully it's not... I don't know the breeds too good, just going by the comb. How old are they?

@NatJ , @MysteryChicken can you correct me if I'm wrong please?
