Rainbow Chickens (Hoover hatchery)

[Littlebitshadow]

I got 3 Rainbow Chickens from my local Agway which’s gets them from Hoover Hatchery. These ones are much bigger than the rest, they’re 4 weeks old. This is a picture of just one of them. Hen or roo? Too soon to tell? They are all pretty funny and the first ones to run over to me

Just a hunch? since these were already older than the general chick supply, Maybe they are males that many passed up on purchasing.
I cant tell gender at young stage, but peeps that raise that breed should have better opinions.'
Beautiful chick.


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

Thank you! They were all day old when I got them, I’m hoping they’re not all males, they’re all really beautiful!! Guess we shall wait and see

Sometimes one just grows a bit faster at first and the rest catch up later. It does not always have to do with gender. And sometimes one can be a day older than we think, or even just 12 hours... that can make a difference in the early days and weeks, but eventually things usually even out.
