The egg that my Roo came out of was a blue/green egg so I’m pretty sure she was an EE unless there are other chickens that lay that color egg. I was pretty sure that EE’s were a mixed chicken but wasn’t sure. My EE hen I bred him with also laid Blue green eggs so I’m keeping my fingers crossed...

He is a handsome fella and he knows it! He’ll even pose when I take pictures!

One more question if you don’t mind. If I breed him with an EE hen am I likely to get EE’s? I unfortunately had to cull my EE due to a bad prolapse/hernia but I had 3 eggs from her. I’ve put them in the incubator as I don’t have any broodies at the moment. I miss my EE girl so I’m hoping to get...

I figured he had to get some color from the EE but the bright orange took me by surprise since she’s more a buff color!

Good evening! I got eggs from a friend since I had no Roos at the time but I had a broody hen. She swears her Roos are either Barred Rock or Dominique and her Hen was a EE. One of the chicks I got turned out to be a Roo but he looks Nothing like his parents. Can someone help me out? The Roo with...

Thank you for the reply! I was afraid of that. I can’t keep another Roo. I thought maybe too using Barred Rock sexing tips but wasn’t sure if they would be correct because it’s a cross. What makes you think Roo, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m still new to this and would like to learn.

I have a crossbreed chick who is now 3 weeks old. I’m wondering if it can be sexed. I originally thought the Momma was my Australorp but because the chick has feathers running down the side of it’s legs I believe momma was one of my Marans. Daddy is a Barred Rock or Barred Rock/EE cross. Can...

I received the fertilized eggs from a friend who is also a amateur chicken keeper. I had two broody hens but no fertilized eggs.

Good morning! I wasnt sure where to post my question but it kind of relatez to this thread sooo.. Is it possible that my rooster was a twin but he mostly absorbed the other? When he hatched he had an area on the back of his neck where the fluff looked stuck together. We thought it would fix...

I really appreciate the info and replies! I was really hoping to get at least 2 hens out of it. Unfortunately we can’t keep Roos and the coloration on the one with all the gold was pretty. LOL. Thanks again! Oh, and I’ll let my friend know what she has. She said she was pretty sure she had BR...

I had a feeling about #3/4 and 5/6. The real question was more about the one with all the gold. If it helps, here are the “Parents”. The Roo could have been either one.

Good morning everyone! I need some help please. I received eggs from a friend to put under my broody..she did a great job and the chicks hatched out! So proud of my girl! The eggs I received were 2 Barred Rock and one Easter Egger/barred rock eggs. I’m pretty sure that I have 1 female and 1...

Thank you so much! I'm trying to get her to send better pictures. When she does, I'll post them for confirmation!

Good morning all!! I'm posting for my Mom this morning. She has 4 RIR's and she believes that they are about 6-7 weeks old. This is the only usable picture she sent me so far. I'll try to get a few more. Can anyone tell by looking at this one whether she has pullers or Roos? Thanks in advance!!

I agree on the age..they appear to be roughly the same size as our others when we got them. I don't think she purposefully gave us the wrong age. It was late when we got there (9:00 p.m.) and I think she was tired. When we spoke on the phone a week ago she was saying she had just hatched, 3...

Hey all and Happy Easter! We aquired 2 new chickens last night! So happy! I'd like confirmation on the breed and sex of both please. #1 is supposed to be a 5-6 month old Blue Copper Marans pullet. The #2 is supposed to be a 5-6 month old Cuckoo Marans pullet They are definitely smaller than our...

Update: y'all were right and the breeder was wrong. Both silkies are crowing so..definitely Roos! So much for him being able to tell at 5-6 weeks old! They were supposed to be females.

I'm fairly new to this site as well and the search function has been my best friend! Lol. You can type anything you want and it'll show you all the threads about it. That being said I am going to try and post the link to one of my favorite threads. You can ask about the sex or breed, and they...

Definitely a Black Australorp. Bottoms of the feet are white.

Actually, Im just going on what the breeder told me. Oh man..I'll be going out to check her now. Lol. It's yellow feet bottoms on the Jersey giants and pink/white feet on the Australorp right? I'll let y'all know what I find!
