Hi again,
So thanks to everyone for the info about my other chicken, Lucky. This one has me worried pointed neck feathers I think??? He/She is a 4 week EE I bought as a pullet from a local feed store- I now know they aren't always correct. I had wanted a small back yard flock for eggs 5 hens at the most. 2 chicks my 5 yr old daughter hatched in class and I had no clue as what to look for at- let her pick. The other 2 I picked from feed store as mentioned above. I can't keep roos I live in city even though I hear them I think the crowing and fight will drive me nuts. Please help me.

Secondary sex characteristics, like pointy neck and tail feathers, don't develop until well after 4 weeks. A lot of laced hens look like their hackle feathers are pointy just because of the coloring, but usually when you put a piece of white paper underneath a few feathers, you can see the actual shape of them.
