It is kinda hard to tell right now, but right now they look like pullets to me. A healthy chick will still have a pink or red face regardless of sex, but those combs look pretty thin to me. You'll know for sure in a month. Either way, they're beautiful chicks. Good luck.

I agree! And that is one gorgeous gal. 🙂

Yeah, I've had similar experience with both. But as they got older all the hens would calm down and let me pick them up without any fuss. But some, not all the Barred Rock roosters were just too aggressive and I only kept the ones with a good temperament. In contrast, I've never had a...

Thanks, I do enjoy them all.

Thanks, I looked for the blues for years and Welp hatchery finally started offering them a few years back and I've been working with them since. :)

You're right about that, they have a great temperament. And the hens have so far have almost kept pace with my RIR hens with egg laying.

I usually do the same exact thing as you with the dog crate. Normally for two weeks, before I release them with the others. The pecking order is quickly established and they're fine. However I do let them free range during the day, so that does help. Good luck.

They are brown, but nowhere near Maran dark brown.
