What does this one look like now? Curious how she/he is turning out.

I see them available mid-June at both Cackle and Hoover. I haven't raised them before but I imagine the pandemic has created demand.

Looks just like mine which we are 99% sure is a Cockerel. See how the tail feathers are starting to curl?

10 week buff orp I have a couple others I'm still hoping could be hens, but need to get some updated pictures!

Thank you! Lots to think about :-) All of them have been good to me so far, and with the kids. The White Giant and the Buff Orpington like to chest bump and the BO also chest bumps with the white wyandotte. The SLW stays out of it and seems the most stand-offish. Interesting you say Stripey is...

Dotty the SLW cockerel Sunny the white Wyandotte These two have had crazy wattle growth in the past couple days. Stripey - slw pullet - notice the poor lacing. Do you recall when yours started getting the nicely laced feathers? Harry Potter - I fear this one seals his fate. I read...

9 weeks old Rhode Island Red Sold as "isa" brown, but? Another "isa" What say you?

Maybe! Mine were hatched by some First graders at a local school. I seem to have won the Cockerel prize with that bunch :D - if this one is, that would be 5/6! I have 2 SLW, 1 definite cockerel 1 presumed pullet 1 white wyandotte, cockerel 1 light brahma ? 1 buff orp cockerel 1 Jersey giant...

Any experience with McMurray's light brahma? I read they are slower to develop. I'd love for this one to be a pullet, very skiddish chicken. @aart Thanks for the reminder! Chicken-speak is a whole new world all by itself!

Greenfeathers - that's perfect! Thank you :) I would say there's 0 chance they are hens based on your pictures. Appreciate you taking the time to photograph them!

That would be great! Since they were hatched at a school we've had to guess breed and gender. They definitely seem riled up today.

I'm fairly sure I know the answer but since it's my first time with chickens thought I'd ask. I keep holding out hope that these two could be hens, but.... Both are 7.5weeks, from McMurray eggs. Buff Orpington and Jersey Giant facing off while the white wyandotte looks on. Any chance these are...

I see what you mean! Your fella has quite a comb. Here's the best I have of stripeys comb.

That's what we've been thinking! Dotty has had some red to the comb since about 2 weeks. Unfortunately, stripey had a single comb so harder to compare. Interesting! Were they from McMurray by chance? The lacing is just not defined well at all which makes it harder to compare to pictures of...
