Here are some more pictures. Those are all laid by Purple. Better picture of Verona.

We bought two chicks from a local feedstore 5 months ago. They are both sex-linked. One is a black sex-linked and the other is a red sex-linked. The red-sex linked, which we call Purple, has begun to lay eggs. They all have hard shells and are quite delicious. The only qualm is that they are...

Thank you then! My husband was adamant that it was a male because of the size of the comb. I do have a few questions on the personality though. The chicken is fine with human attention, but pecks and kicks at other chickens. Quite aggressive, which is also why I thought it could be a rooster...

Like I said, a bit more than four months old. :3

But what about the comb? isn't it a bit large for a pullet?

I will post some pictures soon. The chicken in question does not crow and is a bit more than four months old. It makes a bawk or a loud coo sound, which my hen makes too. (I know the hen is a hen since she has started laying eggs.) This chicken makes the noises at a far louder sound though. I...

Hi, my grandmother lives in Hopewell, NJ and she has started to keep chickens with my recommendation. According to Hopewell, a half acre lot allows you to own up to 6 hens. She bought 3 chickens, like me, and has been keeping them. They are 4 months old and today her neighbor told her she had to...

I am still new with keeping chickens, so I am probably wrong. I didn't know that black sex linked cold have different amounts of red feathers.Aha, all the pictures I've seen of them have large amounts of it around the neck. Sorry!

I think it's an Australorp. I personally have a black sex link around your chicken's age, but she has a lot of golden brown feathers around her neck, which your's lack. And they started appearing around 8-10 weeks of age, so if it was a black sex link, it should have got many of them by now. My...

I recently called the store and they told me she might be a buff brahma, but she doesn't have feathered legs. Any other suggestions?

Ah, I was looking up buffs because that's what the place said and apparently there is a buff orpington x delaware cross? I realized that the neck area and tail have the same design as my bird. Is this a possibility?

This is here at 3 weeks old. Still confused on what breed she is. Calling the feedstore right now.

It's about 2 and a half weeks old now, yet it doesn't look that similar to yours, yet. Her yellow feathers are still in and she has some more popping up. Not that much brown actually. And she seems to be bigger than your chick, which is a bit confusing. I'll be checking with the feed store...

Oh, I don't want to take them in, it's just that around the stream there are loads of crickets and grasshoppers. I have a phobia of worms so I'm always trying to find substitutes for them. I've been buying crickets from PetSmart, but it wears you down after some time. If they started to drink...
