I'm not surprised! Are you going to let her hatch some eggs? What I found with my EE was that though she was a very dedicated brooder - once the chicks hatched she was kind of a ding bat, stepping on her chicks and being more preoccupied with protecting the communal food dish than the chicks...

It definitely adds humor to the process! This will be my first time "harvesting" and I've got 1 wtb, 3-4 ee's, a bcm, and 3 barnyard mixes... I don't think I'd be able to stand that much sad cock soup and wouldn't want to waste them on dog food! One of my mixes is part ayam cemani- even their...

Mine will be harvested as soon as they crow! I bought the book "69 Ways to Eat Cock" and can't wait to try the recipes... They all sound delicious, I went from being sad to sizing them up! LOL

Ahh! I've come to the conclusion I'll be eating mine as well! Aint no one want any roo's! Good to know he'll taste good! Haha... Sad, he's so sweet and my favorite. But he's only sweet to people! I brought my chicks outside the other day when it was warm enough and it was like watching cock...

Aww sucks... Someone else confirmed that as well. I'm going to try and find him a home because he's an awesome little guy.

Oh no. Here is without flash. Would you consider this pale?

I've never been this attached to a chicken other than my EE that was also a shoulder chicken/parrot (and loner in her own sense-due to health complications and 2 months of quarantine which btw she ended up being an excellent broody) I seriously hope this WTB is in fact a she!!!!

I am praying!!!!

Thanks... Here are 2 different angles...

Noooooo! I love her... *cough* him! LOL

Okay what do those familiar with the breed think... Boy or girl? 4 weeks old. I was thinking pointy tail featers are a sign of boy, but now looking at pictures of the hens it might be a trait... But what about the comb? Opinions plz...

Green!

So I had ordered (from ebay) a combo of 4 WTB and 4 BCM... Ugh... Only one hatched, a little WTB. It has the best personality being that it was a loner and imprinted on me. But then a week later I had another batch of chicks hatch and it is acting somewhat cocky, puffing up it's chest and...

If my one that hatches lays blue-green, I'll be heated...! If I wanted another blue/green layer I'd spend way less on an EE! Oh, the quest for blue eggs, lol.

Question is how do I sneak a roo in a subdivision? LOL I've looked up the ways people do and there really isn't a good solution. Crazy... I even read a review for a silencing collar where a lady basically choked her roo to death! I'd love to get into breeding, maybe I could volunteer with 4H and...

Eggs are so fascinating... I'm thinking though, that if my one WTB that has survived incubation turns out to be a cockerel, I'd probably try my hand at hatching araucana eggs... Though from what I just read 50% of araucana's don't survive hatch due to carrying two copies of the ear tuft genes...

You make a good point about BCM who lay their darkest eggs first and they get gradually lighter until molt and then redarken...So how the heck would an older wtb lay darker eggs? It makes no sense...

Yes! My EE that turned out to be a cockerel was white and black... I'm hatching eggs and will be trying my hand at vent sexing... I've been watching all the videos on how to do it and hope I get it right... I will be banding the suspected males so I know which they are and if I'm right...

Do you mind sharing your sexing technique, Laura? I got an EE from a feed store that turned out to be a cockerel... BTW I'm so jealous when everyone starts talking about crossing breeds and pairing birds! I need to move so I can keep roosters!
