I definitely know how that is. I ended up with over 50% roosters. I just ended up rehoming them to my freezer, though. They weren't very nice, so I didn't mind as much, but it was still really sad...raising them from babies and all...

Here are some sample images: Hen: Rooster:

Aww, I'm sorry, but that's 100% rooster. :(

The hens that escape the roofless run are in with my second flock that are almost always free range. They are in the "entryway" to the coop, where I keep the bags of feed and whatnot. Well one of the Production Red/Red Sex Link (whatever they're called) has gotten accustomed to laying her egg in...

Looks like a pullet to me.

Haha! That's what I said about my rooster the other day! We were culling them for the freezer (culled 5, kept 2 [for now]) and got down to the last one. He was a bugger to catch, but finally did. I went to pet him on the head and he bit me! It bruised! This was last week and it's still there! I...

Aww that's sad. I also just got some BLRD from someone on Craigslist that got them from Meyer. The cockerel is the blue strain and has a rose comb, where the three pullets are splash strain and have single comb.

Funny you mention that, because I got 3 Golden Laced Sebrights from a lady on Craigslist that breeds them. They were straight run, but I figured I was getting 2 pullets and a cockerel by the comb sizes. Ended up all were cockerels, but one was single comb and two were rose. And from what I saw...

Finally a glimmer of hope! That's what I've been thinking all along! :D Not a single male feather on it yet. Do you know much about Wyandottes? Why would it have what appears to be a straight comb? It came from Townline Hatchery.

It's amazing how much you know! I'm hoping for a pullet. But if it was a rooster, I'd be okay with that, too. He/she is really nice, so I'd rather that over the roos I have now. Then I'd have two wyandotte roos once my BLRW matured. :) Anywho. These little ones are free range all day long...

SO here are some pictures I just took. Doing the math, these chickies are about 16-17 weeks now. I know everyone is against me on this, but I'm reeeeaaaally thinking pullet. I know the coloring is a little white, but I've done some searching and there are some whiter ones. Still not nearly...

They are awesome neighbors. We're thankful. We have been neighbors for almost 25 years. Now my other neighbors? They're crazy. lol. Good thing they can't hear what happens over here.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Haha. We're pretty close with them, and they are extremely nice. They are filthy rich and have all sorts of animals themselves, except for birds of any sort. They have cows, mini horses, a dog and cat that run over to our place all the time. They're really good...

Haha. Yeah. He's lucky. I made the choice to only keep two though, so if it ends up being a cockerel, it will be taking another's place...so the other isn't so lucky. Haha. That's okay, though, because the one's I have now are skittish yet almost challenge me with their rooster dances. I live...

But you mentioned that make take a few generations for that to happen right? I've searched it over for male feathering, and nothing is really throwing up a red flag yet. My other cockerels definitely looked like cockerels without question at this age. I'll probably keep it if it's a boy...

Yeah I'm STILL not even sure! They are almost 15 weeks old now, and it's comb STILL hasn't changed much since the pictures I uploaded a while ago! It still looks like a straight comb, but not big, not really red, just basically the same. The ONLY difference I see in feathering between this one...

So I don't have a current picture of my SLW-in-question, but it sure does kind of look like this (not nearly as big yet). And this picture is a hen...obviously.

Well I definitely appreciate all your help. I'm going to try and get them healthy because they are very nice and calm birds. I am very much interested in an all natural diet that keeps them healthy. I would like to be able to consider my chooks 100% organic/free range/blah blah blah to the...

I don't think she was moving around a lot before I walked in? It had already been dark for a couple hours so I'd think she'd be roosting a while by then. She seems to be acting fine any time else, except for some weird poos from all of them every once in a while. Man....now I'm reluctant to...

So the vent gleet doesn't seem to be totally gone yet. The feathers haven't grown back yet, but the area is still red, and I noticed traces of urate still sticking to the feather stubs where I cut them off. Another thing. When I went to go see them one last time before bed (about 30 minutes...
