Thanks for all of your input. The lavender Araucana started crowing today and has not laid an egg - so we are going with Roo!

Yes - she / he is a shy one and quite hard to take a decent photo of

Thanks Frazzemrat1!

Thanks so much!!!!

Hi I have a 12 week old Old English Game bantam that I am fairly certain is a roo, and a 9 week old bantam Araucana that I’m thinking is a pullet. Really keen to see if I am right.

Burnet is beautiful. Boy or girl and how old?

An 8 week old and a 5 week...I’m hoping they are both pullets...

Thanks Duck life!!! I feel you are telling the truth and I need to accept my fate in this one.!

Hey, Thanks for your response - really appreciate it. We’ve got all the chicks as day olds from Comps Poultry in Herne hill. J

Thanks tn_crowing how many roosters do you think I’ve got? j

Thanks Sequel, it always seems to be the favourite ones that go early. But we are replenishing the flock and are looking forward to some more favourites.

Thought I would give an update. Poor little Billie got put down a month later. She had a stomach full of rumours and a blocked Ovi-duct. So I don’t think it was worms. She was a good chook. Poor thing

Hi, We picked up some day olds and were told we had a golden penciled Hamburg, blue Ancona and Old English Game. 8 weeks later and I'm thinking the blue is the OEG and black / white the Ancona? My guess on the sexing is the Hamburg is a hen and the other 2 are going to be roosters. We also...

Thanks pibb Poor little chook. Do i need to treat the whole flock or just the one i think is infected?

Hi Dawg Im wondering if you might be able to answer this one as well. My silkie is 4/5 years old. Recently had an impacted nase which we sorted out a few months ago. This must've weakened her immune system as it took a while for her to bounce back. However, she hasn't returned to laying...

An update on the "3 cocks and 1 pullet" guess now they are at 3 months - this morning we were woken by the cutest crowing, so I can confirm that the white one is a roo, with the red and the black&white both still looking and acting very much like Roos as well. The black one continues to look and...

Thanks so much your reply. I was desperately hoping my "3 and 1" guess was wrong, but you and I have the same assessment. This is the second time we have given our Silkies fertilised eggs to hatch. and the second time we have ended up with 3 roos and 1 possible hen. I'm thinking we may need...

Thanks so much for continuing this thread. We have four 8-week old silkies. I have a terrible feeling we only have one hen and three Roos. I would love to hear your thoughts.
