My EE stood very upright, more so than I thought was "normal" for a pullet, but she definitely was. Reminds me a lot of yours posture. I vote pullet with the others.
One year we knew a barn cat had her kittens, but we weren’t sure where .. then my dad noticed every time he was in the chicken coop she would jump up into the rafters .. so he looked around the coop and this is what he found.. the cat and hen would take turns sitting on the kittens until they...
Thank you! He just turned two in October so he’s finally getting slightly less “bull in a china shop”, but his tail is and might always be a lethal whip.
Those organizations are so helpful, looks like its just in time to make contact with them with those pretty cats you’ve found! The cats around my dads place are usually just mixed barn cats.

This is one of my RIR babies.. it’s probably between 7-10 days old here.. I don’t have a better picture without red light from the first week but I don’t recall them being as light as yours.
