My "kids" are a month old and tthree weeks old and i have two positive and a few im waffling on. My boys are still not as feathered as my girls-they will usually be the last of their breed to feather (dont compare an australorp to a red). Give it another week or two and post pics, you should have a better idea vy then. Sorry the red didnt make it, i hope your flock thrives!
