Yes they all seem healthy, one is missing in the pics because she's so afraid of everything it's hard to get a pic that's not blurred. To soon to tell cockrell/pullet? No signs of red yet but I think that the one in the last pic might be...Looking good! And yes, one definitely looks like a Spitzhauben
I'm not sure. I think another few weeks should make it more clear.Yes they all seem healthy, one is missing in the pics because she's so afraid of everything it's hard to get a pic that's not blurred.

Pretty Spitzhauben pullet!Snowball !
That is a very sad situationSad to report that a raccoon dug under the tractor around 5pm yesterday and killed all of our chickens. The raccoon didn't make it either. I guess they aren't strictly nocturnal. Wife and kids are very upset and I'm not doing much better. Thanks to everyone who took an interest in this thread and my tractor build thread, hate to have such disappointing news .
So the coop tractor has been transitioned to a standard coop/run and will be getting a 1 x 2 14 guage apron at either 18 or 24 wide depending on what's available ? Or is regular 1/2 hardware cloth sufficient?
I tried to find the breeds I had or atleast the fancier looking ones and didn't have much luck, was going to try to put another very similar flock together to try to make it up to my kids but haven't had any luck. If anyone has a suggestion I'd be grateful. Specifically looking for the Starlight Green egger, prarie bluebell egger and my snowball silver Spitzhauben. The rest are pretty available.
As regards putting together another flock, maybe look at what chicks are available locally, and ask if the kids have a preference. Or even take the kids into the store and let them each pick one or two chicks.I tried to find the breeds I had or atleast the fancier looking ones and didn't have much luck, was going to try to put another very similar flock together to try to make it up to my kids but haven't had any luck.
