some of my little ones are changing shape on their beaks!! not sure if this is just phylogeny, first-hatched trait, or sex trait!! all were hatched over the course of 2 days and they are mixed flock bantam EE (diff hens and roosters mating).

does the beak bumpiness mean anything with respect to this info? i am trying to guess how many roos i will end up with from my 10 chickies! some are decently smaller than the others but that could be hatch order or parentage.

this is one of the bigger ones and is more friendly than the others!

Baby roos can definitely be friendlier and more outgoing, but that's not a given. I've had plenty of extroverted girls. You did mention this chick's larger, so I'd keep an eye on the legs. A lot of times I'll hear people mention that cockerel legs are like tree trunks compared to the others!
