One of my whites has a bit of off red brown coming though on the chest, is that a bad thing? I hope there all females, a few weeks ago I was told there prob mostly males. So I go and get four more and now ill have to many.

 

I am not sure which one that is that is buried. It's either Chick Number 2 or 3 or one of the other Browns. What makes you think that is a roo?

Ok here we Go They are 24 Weeks old now Except for the last one I post which is about 16 weeks old, some of them started to lay at about 21 weeks old. Figured Id post an update so everyone can see the outcome.

 

Chick 1 This one isn't laying yet that I know of and I havent seen the Rooster try and mount it but I do believe it is a Pullet.

 

 

 

Chick 2 Rooster Mounts and Lays a Bluish green Egg.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chick # 3 Rooster Mates Not sure if she is laying yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chick # 4  Lays a Nice Blue Egg

 

 

 

 

 

Chick # 5 Lays Blue Egg

 

 

 

 

Chick # 6 Goes in Nest Box not if she is laying

 

 

 

 

 

Chick # 7 Lays Blue Egg Rooster Mates

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chick # 8 it wasn't apart of this post but most said it was a Roo I am still not sure what it is any Ideas.

I say listen to the people who say they are all pullets.

Isn't hindsight wonderful?  gig.gif

 

Nice looking bunch of birds. #6 sure did sneak in some awfully pointy neck feathers on you didn't she? Have to test the experts once in a while.

those are all pullets. if you really want to know who is laying take some food color and put it on their vents mark who has what color ( you will need to mix the food coloring to cover all pullets) and when the pullet lays there will be a streak on the egg once you collect it look up who had that color and that is the pullet laying that egg :)

Hdowden that is a good idea, even dry it'll still leave a mark?

 

Yes I know it is hard to be 100 % on sexing, I am just glad I didn't get rid of the ones people thought were roos, I ended up with  Chick 4,5,6 and 7 because I thought I had ended up with all Roos, so I got them from my buddy who had split the order with me ( he had more then he wanted anyway ) so now I have more chickens then I planned to have. But thats is ok.

 

Chick 8 was sent to me as a RIR and well it turned out to be another EE and everyone told me that one was a Roo but I guess it's not.

 

So Imy advice is to not get rid of any in till you know for sure with a Crow or some Eggs.

Joe,

 

Your ladies give me hope! I have a white/grey one that looks pretty similar to your girl. Actually, I thought it was pretty funny that I have three EE (sold as Ameraucanas by a breeder, but not sure if they are pure) that look just like your three! One white, one brown and one black! I really like them all and can't really have a rooster, so here's to hoping my luck is as good as yours!

 

Thanks for the photos, it does help, however, I'm so new to this- I can't really tell!

 

Here are my ladies- Priscilla (black), Pecky (white) and Claire (brown). Well, I hope they are ladies...

 

That bit of red coming through on Pecky, the white one's shoulders gives me pause. Pecky does not act like a boy at all though. 

 

 

 similar to yours though, no? They are about 12 weeks and this was yesterday.

They are close, But the red coming in on you white one maybe a issue, I am not a pro at sexing them, You should start a new thread and see what happens. Try taking more pic's and ones that are a little more clear. good Luck.
