be nice to the new people. Give them time to realize that you are a jokester before you mess with 'em. LOL.

That's what they are doing - except that they fly to get away from each other. Blackie hit the top screen pretty hard today and took a tumble. 2nd time I've seen him do that - scares the living daylights out-a me to see it happen. I also get worried they're going to peck each others eye out - they get pretty close to it when they stare each other down.

This has been a new experience for us ... our 6 month old girls don't even fly as high as these boys (with exception of Rhodie).

Wait, I thought you were pretty sure 2 were pullets and questioned on the other 2? Now I am confused(not hard to do BTW). My three 7 week olds are positioning for pecking order like you are describing. I KNOW one is a pullet(sex-link) and the 2 EE's are not showing any signs of being cockerels(pale combs with one, not three rows on the pea comb, thin legs like the sex-link)

I wonder if I'm going to have to pull out the big dog pen already. Was hoping to put that off for at least a few more weeks. They're still in my living room - but I'd have to set the dog pen up in the garage where it is colder. But, it would give them more room to fly.

I suspected that Cocoa and Rocha were boys from the day they hatched. Now that Blackie has a 3-row pea comb, and Latte has black shoulders and a black tail coming in with the orange-y brown wings, I'm pretty sure both of them are boys, too. If color-sexing doesn't come into play with mixed breeds, Latte (the tiny one) is the only one that might be a pullet, except that he's so feathering in so slow and has just as big of an attitude and has no fear just like the other 3. Even though he's so tiny, he'll stretch his neck as high as he can, chest bump and jump into the others. He has no fear taking on Cocoa, the biggest one, either.
