Hi Everyone!
I am new to raising chickens and having such a blast! I have two questions:
This is a picture of our bantam, Ella, although I'm beginning to think that Ella may be a fella! Can anyone confirm? Also, I'm having some difficulty figuring out her breed. She was in a brooder that contained mixed bantam breeds.

Question 2: When I bought the chicks in early June they were roughly 2 weeks old. The girl at the farm sold me a 40 lb bag of chick crumbles, which is about half full. Is there anything I should be supplementing them with so they get the required nutrients and protein or is this feed sufficient?
TIA!!
Suzanne
