Thanks. Those spots didn't come out untul a day or two ago, but because of what I learned from you guys earlier I thought that might be the case. Thank you...I'm learning a lot :)
I noticed yesterday that two of the black birds have small brick colored spots on each side of their shoulders... Would this indicate that they are roos too? Their combs are black, but the more I stared at them they seemed a bit big. They look exactly alike, with spots in the same place.
Ok...what are the grey/black/whitish birds... ?... We thought those were barred rocks. I'm pretty sure that's what they told me. Are they something else?
Thank you! That's such a shame...the grey, brown and red one is sooo pretty...I was really hoping it was a hen. So, with the astralorps, barred rock and black sex links am I also looking for red combs? Are there any other things I should look for with them to know if they are hens or tipsters?
Thanks. So, there is one greyish one with some reds and Brown's but no red comb... Is that a boy or a girl? We were wanting astrolorps, Easter eggers/ameracuna, barred rock and black sex links. These are much different at this age than our comets, which all have big combs and waddles even though...
I got them from a free range farm. They hatched some and some were hatched by the mom. I also have 10 3-4 week old chicks that we are going to end up selling because three are sullied, which I didn't want and there aren't enough of the others to have a full flock. We ended up with more than we...
Hi! I have some chicks 8-10 weeks old and am trying to figure out gender and breed. I'm not for sure if I'm rigjt, so I thought I'd ask some other, more knowledgeable chicken people. We have 6 comets and 6 isa Brown's right now...so, these newbies are something very new for us. Thanks! We have...
