Bought a coop for our two 5-week-old chicks off a local farmer and they offered us to take some of their day-olds also. As tempting as it was to take a bunch, we decided to add just two to our flock since we are worried one of our older chicks could end up male (
) leaving our other one alone, and also the coop we have is small and couldn’t comfortably house more than 4 chickens if all of them are hens and able to stay with us.
People were so helpful on my last post (still welcoming more input there
), so I figured I’d try my luck again with breed identification for my new two babies. There was a mention by the farmer of some potential breeds involved in the hatch (should have made note… I forgot which ones), and also mention of sex-links (but he said something like sex-link history not exactly that these ones are sex-linked?…. I don’t understand it all completely yet).
Thanks in advance for any input!
