First time chicken owner here. As I posted a couple of weeks ago, I got a bunch of dead Buff Orpington chicks in the mail from McMurray Hatchery, and managed to save just one. I added 6 more buffs from the Agway that were a week younger. Even so, they were the same size as Admiral Byrd, the survivor from the first group. The chicks seem to be thriving, they are active and super friendly to me and to each other. Their poops look great, they are eating Grubblies chick starter and have huge appetites. Some look weird and scary, though, and Admiral Byrd looks very different from the others! I just need a reality check that nothing is wrong here...
This is what most of them look like now at 3 weeks:
But Admiral Byrd looks VERY different. Is this one another breed and not a B.O.?
And a couple look so scruffy, I'm hoping all is well:
Any thoughts are very appreciated!
