200% sure that the white one is a boy

are these the auto sexing EEs

Jerry does this mean that if I breed a black copper maran roo with a white leghorn hen I will get something similar to this?

wow that's a beautiful roo!

What determines how fast chicks grow? the heat, the cold or the season?

usually most people have already been confused by hatcheries selling EEs as Ameraucaunas. Since you're birds are crossed purebreds they are EEs. I would sell them as EEs and leave it at that. if you try to explain that they are still purebred but crossed they will get confused. IF you meet...

usually if they have puffy cheeks as chicks or juveniles they will have more prominent beards as adults.

looks like a pullet to me. her comb looks small and the feather colors are not too dramatic

sav a chick makes probiotic packets. electrolytes only keep them hydrated. if you can't find probiotics, yogurt also works. keep their butts clean in the meantime

Forgot to mention that you should only give her probiotics OR antibiotics otherwise they cancel each other out. I highly recommend probiotics just because of her pasty butt the swollen butt could be an infection or just a side effect of the pasty butt

what kind of chick feed is she eating? fermented, medicate...etc have you tried some of the probiotic and antibiotics from the save a chick packets?

It depends on the breed they are mixed with. I have one that is mixed with leghorn and she never flys. I think it's because she has gotten used to bird netting being on top of the chicken pen. All chickens can fly out of a 6ft fence. My faverolles perch on a fence even though they are heavy birds.

The cross beak is not too bad, it will probably survive and live a normal life. The messed up foot can be fixed, one of my leghorns had both feet messed up (my fault) but I didn't notice until she was a lot older so i could not treat her. she has a normal life, no trouble walking or perching.

Yes, a salmon faverolle and ameraucauna cross a.k.a favacauna. Or EE and faverolle cross.

27 is a large number. I would separate them to know for sure. It's less common for an EE to lay a brown color than a blue.

If you're trying to get the darkest olive color. I would go with a BCM hen and a ameraucauna rooster. That way you know how dark the copper maran egg color is which would determine how dark the olive color will be

@rhetts what other breeds do you have? One of my EEs laid her first egg when she was only 7 months and it was huge. She had Orpington in her background.

i love these silver pullets. you can tell the silver ones at hatch. i have one that lays huge eggs, bigger than the leghorns. Gonna try breeding her extensively this year

what are you trying to feed them? it only takes one chick to eat something different and then all of them start

Usually 4 days until they start to lose fertility. but im sure by then you will have plenty. how many eggs do you plan to set?
