Well, when the grandboys came, they carried the chicks to the coop one night to move into their new home with the other hens and rooster. Thumbs up

It took a couple of days, but they made themselves at home in no time and now they are running around outside and coming in at night to roost. Although, there is some tension between the older flock and the newbees!

Beeing inexperienced with new chicks, I'm just now able to identify the males from the females. I'm still not sure how many roosters vs hens! Hilarious! Just when I think I have it figured out, I'm not sure. Shrug! so far, I'm sure of two hens. Hilarious!

I'm pretty sure these two on the right are cocks!

And I'm pretty sure the little black one is a hen (although she looks suspiciously like the crows around here Hilarious! )
