My Rhode Island Whites are 8 weeks old now. I have 7 pullets and a cockerel. They are arrogant, entitled, and judgemental. I believe they may be conspiring to take over the farm. The cockerel wants to be a turd already. But he also wants snacks, so he has to put up with me. The pullets feel like their rightful place is on my shoulder. When they hop in my lap, I get a judgy side-eye the entire time they’re allowing me to pet them. They are total queens.
I thought they were going to be a challenge in a mixed flock of babies, given their haughty attitudes, but they really don’t seem to bother the other chicks. Some of the other chicks are 4.5 weeks younger than them.
They are a bit of a mixed bag of traits though. Leg colors, combs, and feather type tend to vary.
All jokes aside, they seem to be good so far.
