One grew a blue feather I think but the rest show no difference though. Two 11 weeks old, Three 5+ weeks old, and the runner duck I am thinking ~2 weeks old...?
Surprisingly adapted and got bold already. Willing to rush between rooster and hens to eat from feeder. Seems to not be scared of nothing except maybe me getting a bit too close lol, but I am impressed. It had only been 5 days and they are already eating and drinking casually(and sleep everywhere and anywhere)
On another side though. New pullets still not adapted. Still pretty skittish(to other hens) but not scared of me at least. The older hens were the opposite lol. Very bold to chickens but so scared of me XD
Unfortunately the four 16 weeks old is much smaller than the others and bullied and barely ate so I put them in cages so they’ll eat more.
Anyway misc images at the bottom. The new chickens are so pretty honestly. Didn’t take pics of them all but I was enamored at the iridescent and the colors of the pullets’ feathers.
