First time chicken momma here! I got two “barred rock” pullets from a local feed store. They’re going to be two weeks old tomorrow (I’m assuming their hatch date was about two days before I got them). Chick one is smaller and just getting white on her wings. Chick two is larger, nearly all black and never had a white spot on top of her head. After doing a little research on this site I think chick two may be a black australorp or black sex link. She has white on her butt and a little under her chin.
Will I have to wait until they’re older to figure out if they’re australorp or sex link? Are there any characteristics I can look for to determine breed at this age.
