Hi! i'm new to chickens and went to my local feed and seed store and bought three 2 week old chicks a barred rock, a buff orpington and a brown sex link which i was told were female. Now they're 7 weeks old and I noticed my barred rock has different tail feathers than the other two,and is very protective of the other two and gets upset when separated from the other two. I'm hoping that she (or he) is not a roo because I have grown attached to all three and am not allowed to have a rooster where I live!
