Is my cutie a RIR (first 3 pictures)? He's 1 week old today, and I'm guessing "he" because it's my free chick from Meyer Hatchery. I got 2 free chicks. One is supposed to be male and the other female. The other (last picture) I think is a buckeye and probably the female, based on what was in stock last Monday on hatch/ship day.

Just curious is this one is actually a RIR. Thanks!

Thank you to you both! I'll wait and see what it grows up to look like. It's a cute little thing no matter what!

I can see the similarities in some of the pictures. I didn't know that Swedish Flower Hen chicks came in so many different colors.

I'm now actually wondering which of the 2 chicks pictured in this post is my male and which is my female. Fortunately, I don't really care either way outside of my own curiosity.
