Hello,
I am very new to owning chickens and on Oct 18, I had 4 hatch. One died and one disappeared (the little orange one in attached pic), so I have these two sleeping in the bathroom at night, as mum lost interest two days ago. In saying that, she was an amazing mother. Pics include both Mum (Plymouth) and Dad (discombobulated mix - Naked Neck, Botham Bantom and possibly a couple of others? ) I have a feeling that the Naked Neck chick is a boy (lighter, thicker legs and a bit more gumption) and I am hoping the the other a girl? Would appreciate any help. Just confused with different ways of sexing different breeds. TIA .
