The gold in the background is one of 'the triplets' I didn't bother to name them because I can't tell them apart but I suspected from the start that they were boys, they were always chest pumping and looking for a bruising despite being the youngest of the whole lot. They still haven't fully feathered but they have wattles and comb development. They'd be almost 9 weeks old now.
the gold triplets pretend to chest bump and have been doing that since day one in the brooder. They're all pretty chill and huddle together in a line on the roost each night and stick together in a pack during the day and come running en masse to me when they hear my voice 
Yes, I wanted to end up with 5 girls and my breeder suggested getting 10 due to the 50/50 boy vs girl chicken math thing. I was hoping for 3 silvers and 2 golds. I needed chicks because I wanted my dogs to become accustomed to having chooks around and it has worked out perfectly, I now have a couple of girls, a boy and will swap the other boys out for 3 hens and eat the rest
