Hate to say it, but it's looking like two cockerels.

Really like the colors on the cockerel.

Really really cool. Like I said. Can't wait for broody hens. Had one in 2012. My old Buff Orpington and that was amazing.

I don't think so. More about stress being with guineas early on and a lot of variety in the genetics would be my guess.

I'm keeping him. He is great looking. I'm giving my current rooster to a friend with the promise of pullets when I have some from next springs hatches. He is way too rough on my old lady buff orpington and he is replaceable. She is a sweet girl and her nails are getting long from not being...

I'm posting pictures of my older birds. Have 3 pullets for sure and 4 cockerels for sure. The jury is out on the other two. Leaning heavily towards both being cockerels. The only issue is lighter colored combs and waddles. 1. Pullet 2. Pullet 3. Pullet 4. Cockerel 5. Cockerel...

Good to hear. Can't wait for my first broody hen.

yum, Tacos de tripas....google it

Any updates?

I plan on selling my cockerels for a small fee on craigslist. I'll stress what type of birds these are and how rare they are etc. With all the demand for them right now I don't think it will be an issue getting rid of them. I'll just ask a bit more than someone would be willing to pay for a...

Have the exact same problem. I'm usually pretty lucky with the cockerel to pullet ratio. Not this time. Spoke way too soon last week when I thought I only had one cockerel. Have no idea with my 7 younger birds, but my older ones are looking like 6 cockerels and 3 pullets. Hoping I'm wrong...

Wow, didn't let mine out that early. Should have gave that a shot though. They look like they are loving it. I've found they just love being outside. Mine stay out later than my other birds, Right up till dusk with my pea cock and pea hen. The rest of my birds are on the roost at 6pm.

I went out and checked and everyone made it through the night just fine. The 9 Icelandics are doing well. The supposed Buff Orpington chick that I bought at the feed store to keep the first staggered hatch chick company turned out to be a Red Ranger Broiler who started crowing yesterday. I...

DQ dilly bars= yum. tacos de lengua = cow tongue tacos= amazing.

Have all the older pullets and cockerels on the lower roost in the coop. Checked after 20 minutes and had one on the floor and the rest on the roost. Put her back. I'll check before I go to bed at 11pm. I'll be up at 4am to check again. Pics
