Well someone suggested I wait to see some more development in the chickens, particularly for crowing and feather development. Well I've heard a lot of noises from the chickens but I have yet to hear anything I would associate with a crow. So I thought I'd see what sex you all feel they are now. I numbered them the same as I did last time. I really appreciated all the help from last time. Its been crazy to look at the photographic evidence of their changes in only a month!
Extra credit question: If anyone has any tips on introducing them to free ranging that would be helpful. What I have done so far is let a few out so they don't feel safe going too far away, and when I let a number out I put water and food in the caged area when I want them to go back inside. They really seem to like being able to run around outside their enclosure (Although I may be anthropomorphizing a bit much here).
So yeah, please let me know what you feel for each of the chickens. Definitely a pullet, definitely a cockrel, or not really sure! This has been helpful as I try to decipher the points to look for in the chickens.
