Chicks at 6.5 Weeks

The chicks continue to grow at a fast pace. They are starting to show a glimpse of their mature sizes and shapes. The California Whites are the smallest breed and they are already being dwarfed in size by the others. They are working on their pecking order and are commonly found challenging each other chest to chest. None of them are even close in size to White Chicken, yet. I have my suspicions that the Buff Orpington in the back is a young rooster. The comb and wattles are larger and more red than the other Buffs. I will do a comparison of the Buffs soon, but we'll have to wait a while for proof.
