New chickens

[Simerman5]

Hi everyone! I wrote in here a few weeks ago trying to figure out what some of our chicks were but unfortunately something for in our coop and got them all. We have recently gotten 9 new ones. We actually got 10 but one ended up getting sick the day after we brought them home. She was wheezing and having a terrible time breathing and very lethargic :-/ So here's some pics of our new girls/maybe boy

The large Easter Egger looks like a cockerel, that's the only one that really stands out to me.

Yes the EE is male. The rest look like pullets for now. Close up individual photos and age would make it easier to be certain.

Were you able to get your coop secure?

Crooked toes is most often due to genetics. It can also be caused during hatching. If they take to long to hatch the toes can stay curled up.

Yes we thought he was the rooster. He definitely has the behavior. We aren't for certain how old they're. I'd say some are 7-8 weeks and the EE might be a bit older. We have 2 EE, 2 silkies, 2 rode island reds, 2 austrolorps and 1 buff Orpington

The Easter Egger looks 8ish weeks, the others look much younger to me. Maybe 5-6 weeks.

It doesn't seem to bother her and she's a happy chicken just looks painful but I'm guessing it doesn't bother her.
