Oooh, sorry! The second guy is a buff/blue

Winston, my english blue roo: A young buff/blue roo:

Thanks so much for these replies! This is just the sort of thing I was looking for. I am being very realistic about the fact that one of them will probably have to go. I'm not sure if I can go through the process of putting one on the table yet. I'm not opposed to the idea at all, just...

I am a first time chicken owner. We brought home nine chicks this spring who are now ranging in age from 6-8 weeks old. We would like to let them range during at least a portion of the day, and would like to keep a rooster to help manage and protect them. So far, I am pretty certain that out...

I'm new here, but just wanted to share a pic of my seven week old BCM pair. I know that the pullet is a bit too mossy, but she is just the sweetest, friendliest little bird. She is always the first to greet me every morning :) Anyway, I just wanted to share!

Updated with photos: These two are both three weeks old. Small enough to hide under her big sister...

This one is four weeks old. Want to guess rooster or hen?? No pink in the comb, but big stocky legs and feet.

I think Thunder Beak might be the most awesome name ever ;) Most of our were named by the kids: Turkey, Tux, Spotty, Dotty, Beatrice, Midnight, Wallace, Luna, and Foxy.

I bought them all from a local breeder at one day old. The chicks were bred from on-site parents. I remember her saying that she hadn't had any bantams until this spring when she hatched a set of bantam chicks, so it doesn't seem like that's likely. It's just so strange because she seems so...

Hmm, that's sort of what I was thinking. I'm afraid we ended up with three roosters. Which is about two more than I need ;)

Of the nine chicks that we brought home one is much smaller than the others. She is a sex-linked gold laced wyandotte and was the same size as her two "sisters" when they hatched. She seems to be just as active and hungry and busy as the others - just much smaller now as the others have...

No way this chick is a hen, right? He/she will be four weeks old this weekend. His/her BCM hatchmate has no wattles to speak of and a much smaller/paler comb.

Thanks so much for your help! I think I could really get hooked on chicken genetics - my husband ought to be thrilled - less expensive than horses with much more (relatively) instant gratification. I can't wait to see how these two turn out. It's amazing to note the changes in their growth...

We brought home nine chicks last week and I thought I would share! Five are one week old and four are two weeks: Turkey - she/he is a Black Copper Marans, but is sort of an unusual color?? Tux, another Black Copper Marans Spotty, Dotty, and Beatrice - Gold Laced Wyandottes Foxy, a...

Hi all! I am new to the site and new to chicken keeping :) We brought home nine chicks a week ago, two of whom are supposed to be Black Copper Marans. These two were two weeks old on Saturday. As they have feathered out more, we have noticed that their coloring is very different. Any...
