I bought these birds in a local chicken swap this past May 2015. Of course they were sold as 3 pullets. Instead I am pretty positive 2 are Roos. The lady said they were Marans and me being new to chickens didn't know the difference. LYLE THEN @ 4 weeks
NOW 10 weeks
This bird a Roo, is...
I couple of weeks ago I posted pics of a bird, questioning gender... I had a feeling right from the start that this chick was a Roo, and he definitely is:
At 1 day
At 4 weeks...
Today, at 7 weeks old... He has the 3 rowed pea comb, Burnt Sienna Saddle Feathers and Green & Black Feathers...
I know this bird is young I am just kind of curious what kind of chick it could be. S/he has chipmunk coloration. The only thing I know is she came from a pen labled, "Straight Run Heavy Breeds" What are the breeds that carry this coloration?, please. I will get more pictures today when I go out...
