Got this little guy (straight run, was hoping for a hen) because he was mixed in on accident with some meat birds. The gal at the store guessed Welsummer but I'm not so sure now. He doesn't have the typical dark breast. What do you guys thinks?
His name is Mystery and he is 4 weeks.
My neighboors now have a "habit" of throwing their chickens over the fence and claiming they aren't their's. But that is besides the point. This leghorn showed up this morning, hasn't crowed, very skittish (true to leghorn breed) but I have never had any experience with them. I have no idea how...
Cow and Pirate are the same age but Cow's comb is much more prominent. I know hen Ancona's have large combs but the early signs of redness in Cow's comb worries me. Any help with gender? Here are pictures from today

They are 7 weeks old.
Darn! My luck with straight runs, last batch had 4/5 Sultans as roosters. Since we already have a big guy this little guy will have to find a new home.
This little monster is the most docile little thing (legs are just a bit bigger then the other girls). This one was thrown in as a straight run from McMurrays.

Beautiful! He has been a pleasure to have and isn't as gamey as I would have thought. He only has one hen and doesn't overwork her and is a cuddler.
I just took this now. Here he is with his offspring.
No, we didn't even have our hen that is pictured with him. We had an empty back yard with just our mini poodle occasionally going to the bathroom out there. Your roo does look a lot like him. I don't know what my guy is, do you have a breed for yours? This guy was lucky, I had chickens when I...
So as I am reading more about breeds I found out about something called the Red Jungle Fowl (which my boy looks more like than a Old English Game mix) anybody second that motion?
Thank you, he is quite the man. We got him the Silkie so he would not be lonely and he has been gentle and doesn't over work her. Their three offspring are almost 3 months but I have yet to figure out their genders. They are odd looking ones lol
