They are 5 weeks old now. I had to separate the boys today from the girls because of the bare backs. I don't plan to hatch any right now and they are not even laying yet, so for now I plan to leave them separated until I decide who to pair up, etc. I still have to put shavings in the boys pen. These guys and girls are not easy to take pics of.
The boys first:
And the girls, they were even harder to catch:
Any ideas on what the colors are called would be appreciated. Looks like most of the silver ones are red breasted? and the dark male is maybe a red breasted normal? I also have a red breasted normal hen? and a cinnamon? hen and several silver hens. In all I have 4 males and 6 females I think.
Thanks for looking.
