The six baby chicks that made it through hatching are now one week old give or take a day. They are 4-5 x as big now as they grow like weeks.
I have moved them to a larger plastic storage bin to give them more room to exercise, play and move around in.
They are feathering out now and there are no two exactly the same. I could give them all names, but I would never remember who is who. It is looking like I have at least two roosters and possibly (probably) more. I possibly have a home for one of them at my oldest daughter's house or street. They live in a rural area and they all have chickens free roaming there.

@LadyDuck Same here and with 20+ or - over the last few years, it is hard to remember who is who! I have the roosters down pat since there are only two of them. There are a couple of hens that have names that have stuck but they are easily identified or only one of that breed.

@wolfgirl569 I may end up moving these guys! But then again, they do remind me when their bowl is empty!

I can see the feathers. Why do you have to give them away?

You only want one rooster per coop. I have two chicken coops and two roosters already. If you put another one it the two roosters would be aggressive toward each other and fight. We will see how many we end up with. The way my luck goes, it will be something like a repeat of the first batch of babies I bought. I bought 8 chicks and got 5 rootsers.
