*too many roos (sorry)

Thanks! Ya I was figuring since it was a "freebie" it would be a roo. It appears (from the groups of same breeds) I have a couple of roos in my egg laying grab bag. I know they will refund the difference in price but I have to face culling or find a home far sooner than I had hoped. I have 19...

You may be right. The comb is smooth still at this point. I hope not as that is the least "rare" breed in America today and they bragged about a free rare chicken LOL

Sorry! Top pic is week 1, second pic week 2, last two pics are week 3

These are the pics of my "surprise" from McMurry. Two questions. What breed is this? Also is the cream now coming in on its shoulders an indication of roo? Oops three questions. I saw in a previous forum slow feathering is a male trait? Is there accuracy in this or is it a breed trait? Thanks in...

To me the austalorps combs seem paler but may just be the light.

Thank you for showing your Australorps! I have one MAYBE two in my grab bag brown egg layer assortment in the brooder. I thought they were gonna be solid black as adults.

YAY!!! I thought so but you know how it is....a chicken friend planted the seed of doubt ;-) THANKS for the reassurance! ♡

This little one is 8 weeks old on this pic. Can anyone tell pullet or roo?

That is a concern for me as well (the illness that was passed) I clean her brooder a couple times a week and both hubby and I are from farms. Although, he went from NO CHICKENS in the house to "Keep her in our room it will save you a thousand steps a day" fairly quickly ;-) He isn't as thrilled...

When I began this chicken adventure I had no intention of having a single chicken (chicken math gone south 8-7=1) Due to illness or something I did horribly wrong I lost 7 chicks at aprox one chick every other day for two weeks. The lone survivor is Cora and she is now 6 weeks old. Since then I...

Thanks for the warm welcome! ☆ I am enjoying Cora so much but being a flock animal I am hoping she takes to the new chicks and coop!

I do! Lol I have found that MOST of my questions have already been posted WHICH I FIND FABULOUS!!! Other than the sex of "Cora" my lone survivor! I am enjoying the mystery for now. If she crows she will be renamed Cory!

Hi all *waves* I am a new chicken Mom who had a very rough start. I bought 8 chickens (2 sets of four a week apart) lost all but one! They seemed to have a contageous disease that somehow our EE survived. Since then I have been studying like mad as to not repeat the experience. Ordered from...
