About 4 Weeks Old 
Alma
Dolly
Pearl
Personalities are really starting to show!
Dolly and Pearl are definitely the most dominant, not sparring or anything but fluttering about trying to figure out the pecking order. Alma, who is not as developed and I believe a bit younger, is terrified of them both when they do this
She's definitely at the bottom and has shown no interest in competing with them.
I finally had to put a screen on top of the brooder as Dolly and Pearl have figure out how to jump on top of the feeder and fly out. I found out when Alma who cannot fly much yet was hollering, I went in there to see what the fuss was about and sure enough she was alone in the brooder while the other two were on the bed eating!
Alma is finally showing some tail feather growth, her wings are almost fully feathered, though her comb is the smallest of the 3. She had pretty severe pasty butt when I got her and her poop would shoot out of her bottom in streams so I think maybe her being sick as a young chick may have delayed her development, is that possible?
Also I believe this is the last time I'll be able to hold them with one hand...
