New to the Chicken World

yes, it is okay to trim hers. She will be much happier that way! My goodness, I'm looking at the pictures and when you said 'big poof' you really meant it! That is one poofy chicken!

Then I'll definitely trim her...she's kinda jumpy. It could just be her temperament but it may also have to do with the fact that she gets nervous bc she can't see. Her name is Juicebox. (my son named her lol)

Yes, she is probably jumpy because she can't see. What a cute name!

How cute! They all look identical, but I can see some differences.

I can tell them apart by how their feathers look now....and two have a little white under their beak. It will probably be harder to tell once their feathers grow in more.

Welcome to Backyard chickens Michelle, it's nice to meet you.

I can see that they are different. I have isa browns, and I could/can tell them apart (although I've now forgotten who is who). The thing with similar looking chooks is that you can't instantly recognise someone when she/they run up to you. I could tell the difference when I had 3 black australorps - same colour, but there were differences.
