My farmstore cochins think they are too pretty to lay eggs. I might have to agree with them. They think they are showgirls The softest chickens I have ever petted. A pic of their boyfriend a 19 week old blue partridge Brahma and my boxer puppy wishing she could get in the chicken pen with me.
Hi all, these 2 little beautiful girls (please, please be girls) just came home today from Wilco farm store. Is there a correct name for this color. I have gold laced and silver laced but haven’t had these before. Thanks.
Farm store impulse buy..lol..mixed Color Cochins. Eventually get to join my mixed flock and some Brahma big sisters.
What colors will these gals be. 1st has mostly brown specked wing feathers 2nd is mostly black on wings. Lady at store described the 2nd as getting light grey with black neck? I...
Pepper (the rooster) is almost 1 1/2 years old. I am thinning down my crew and would like him to go somewhere that he can live peacefully and not be stew (hopefully) I can handle him easily and carry him around. He is pretty nice to his girls (he has 10 girls) but he has scared my kids by...

I think I'm a guy! Although my mom is worried as some of my sisters have pretty big combs, but I got it all...lol trunk legs, pointier feathers sneaking in and a beeeuuutiful comb!
Boys don't do ballet, do they?
Those are not the feathers you were looking for, Mom!!
This is me and my...
Buffs are 7 weeks and Lights are 6 weeks. No one really screaming roo but especially my buffs all started at like day one with wide combs...scary.. if they were EE's I would really think roo.
one of my EE's for comparison at bottom of post. They all feathered in at almost exactly the same rate...
This is CHIRPY the blue egg layer! (above)
This is WIMPY who is now my most curious girl (used to be wimpy..lol) (above)
OMEGA GIRL aka Blue Butt. lol (above)
AUNNA THE AMERACAUNA (brown egg laying EE with a horn comb..lol)
ROBIN on the left, OMEGA GIRL on the right. (the blue girls)...
I found an add on Craigslist for 8 week old Ameraucana (yeah right) pullets. I had just rehomed 2 EE roos and 1 SS roo (they were such good boys)
Anyway, these girls sounded great and were the right age to keep up with my crew at home. 15 girls, total now!!
When I went to the guys house to see...
My wonderful little EE is definately a Roo. I posted pics of Manny at about 7 weeks and every single person on here guessed he was a she I was sooooo excited, but now, Manny is crowing along with his partner in crime, OnRay.
So, watch out if you have the black and white EE's. Manny is just...
I live in Lebanon, Oregon. I want them to get a good home. It is my sons and my first time chicks, so we don't want to do away with our little boys. If you are any where near let me know. We can work something out..driving...
I have at least 1 maybe 2, too many Roos I bought 2 different age...
My black and white was guessed on the forum by 100% of the people to be a pullet!! Yippee!
What do you all think about the major size diffs. and how different the combs are. The smallest brown (Chirpy) is right about the same age (7 weeks) as the black and white (Manny) and her Roo friend...
I was just wondering if a Roo crows super early (3 weeks old) would that make him more manly (aggressive..lol) than a later crowing boy! I have a speckled sussex, that of course was supposed to be a pullet but crowed on her (I mean his) 9 week b-day. Now one more little stinker (easter egger) on...
OnRay (the Roo on the left) crowed at 3 weeks..sad
What do you guys think about Manny (the whiter bird) Female/male pattern of black and white? Any chance? She/he has a larger wider comb than my EE pullets that are obvious girl and is quit a bit larger.. They are about 6 weeks old!
Manny...
Hello all, I have been lurking for ten weeks...lol... (the age of my oldest chickens)
I have had chickens in the past but have never learned so much about them as I have my current girls/ boy!
I love all my critters (from feed store) and so far out of 14, I have one Roo Unfortunately he was my...
Just came home, pretty grey with some nice brown on their heads! Sold as Ameraucanas (pullets) from feed store. I know..lol..EE
My bigger girl is about 3 - 4 weeks old? She was on sale with her big girl bin mates...lol so I don't have a hatch day for her.
