Hello Everyone,
I am new to chickens and i just love their personalities.
I am located in Colorado.
I have gotten 4 day old chicks from the feed store, now the feed store didnt label them so im not too sure what breeds i have. After looking through this forum for the past couple months, i think i am 90% sure i know the breeds now haha.
They are 11 weeks as of tomorrow, and i have started putting them outside last week. We built them a nice coop and run.
So i am thinking (again, im not sure) i have 1 easter egger (mo) 2 RIR (chicki and microwave - my sons named those two lol), and 1 Orpington (peep) Now another issue is, figuring out what sex they are and i am still at a loss, the orpington and easter egger are the ones that have the bigger and more reddish/pinkish combs, but def not as huge as ive seen on here on some chickens. My 2 RIR both have small combs and waddles (very pale) but one has a pointy tail the other doesnt. So im still completely unsure, or maybe i just dont want my suspicion to be reality. I cannot have roosters. Maybe you guys can help me figure it out.
I thank you all for your help. I truly appreciate it
