Hi Dave and I are new to raising backyard chicks. Just got our girls last week. We have 7 Buff Orpington hens. They are a week old and doing well. Wondering how to tell them apart after our 14 yr old daughter names them. lol

Right? They have small differences lol. I’m sure we will figure it out as they grow. Loving them so far!

Welcome! My wife and I are new to raising chickens too. She ordered many Easter Eggers and I don’t believe any two look the same, so they are easy to identify! Good luck with your chicks.
