My family and I bought 7 chicks from Tractor Supply about 3 weeks ago.I believe they all are RIR's except 1..I was just wondering if you could tell me what they are.This is our 1st time raising chicks so any help is appreciated.Also could you tell me how to tell what the other 4 are. 5 have longer fuller tails the the other 2(AC & Fluff) and 4 have some have pink on side of combs.To me only 1 stand out with attitude.I do NOT want 7 roo's.
This is my favorite AC

now i'm scared about the other 4. Could you tell me how to tell what they are..The remaining 4 all have much longer tails than these 3.I don't want to post more pics and annoy anybody but I am curious..I would love to have atlest 3 hens
Thanks
 
Please post more pics - you will never annoy anyone here. We love pics!! I do think that the 2nd and definitely the 3rd one look like boys. Their combs are larger and quite pink...
 
This 1 we call Monte,i'm pretty sure this is a hen.This 1 is the only 1 that roosts on side of bin

Their ready to be moved to something larger than that Rubbermaid tub. Soon they will start pecking each other because of the cramped space. Once they start pecking, it's hard to stop.
