We thought this was one of our americaunas but it's face/neck just isn't pudgy like our others. We are supposed to have sexlinks amerucaunas and wyandottes any guess what this one is? (4 months old)
yes, that is exactly what I saw, the saddle feathering. we don't have any older roosters we do have a neighbor and we can occasionally hear their rooster but they're pretty far away.
The one in the background of the first picture is "Dotty" I put "Dotty" and "not Dotty" on them so it is easier to tell them apart. They do look very similar and I am fairly sure they are both males.
Also, I already REALLY enjoy this site :)
Thank you!
Y'all helped me earlier but also got me looking at my chickens again. Now I'm wondering about these two. Hopefully it'll be as easy as the last one I asked about. Roos or hens. The first one shows our 2 very different "blue laced reds" we obviously are very new to chickens and don't know much...
I was under the impression that once they learn to lay in their nest boxes that is where they will always lay. Is this not the case? My mother in law leaves hers in the run until they are well established with laying in their nest boxes. Once she feels they will only lay in their designated area...
