    Finders keepers. But what am I keeping?

    @LuckyCluckyCA , What does your chick look like now?

    Wyandotte roo or hen?

    And now that I look at the pics a little closer, I do see dark bars on the wings in the recent pics, which would indicate roo.

    Wyandotte roo or hen?

    I missed the part where it is crowing! Lol, that wouldn't be good for a pullet! On the back where the saddle feathers would be, can you part the feathers and see if you see pointy ones coming in? Maybe they are just really slow?

    I'm guessing pullet that is close to laying. By 4-5 months old, you would see more obvious saddle feathers.

    I couldn't see any clear shots of the combs in any of the pics I looked at..... That would be a deal breaker for the faverolle. Most like OE in that case.

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Roo or Hen? 7wks

    How many chicks are we looking at here? The crossbeak and one other? Crossbeak is definitely a roo. If there is one other, I am leaning roo too.

    Finders keepers. But what am I keeping?

    Except it is VERY common for hatchery quality faverolles to lack that 5th toe. I picked up 2 just this past Wednesday from Tractor Supply (they get theirs from Hoover Hatchery) and neither have the 5th toe on any foot. Furthermore, for wing color, you are assuming these 4 are a mix of male and...

    Faverolles would fit the description of both feathers on the legs and muffs and beards...... And they are yellow chicks that slowly get in their coloring.

    Also, these were all pullets at post processing weight. I know the cockerels can grow much faster but I unfortunately was not able to compare that.

    Our Broiler Project

    I don’t know, I thought the size was really good and I’m happy with it. Genetics can play a role, so maybe that has something to do with it. Mine were allowed access to 5-8 acres around the pen and they would go far. I’m not really looking for the fastest growing bird as I think that can...

    Thanks! I am convinced that if one wants to free-range their broilers, this is the way to go. While they loved their daily snack of high protein feed, they were excellent at foraging! And I think this is mainly due to the mama hens raising them and teaching them how to do so. I wouldn't raise...

    12 Weeks: We made it to 12 weeks and decided to go ahead and process the (3) Cornish Rock and (1) of the Red Rangers for comparison. Compared to the last chickens we processed (5 month old roosters from layer breeds!), these were a breeze. We used the pithing method followed immediately by...

    I don't see any saddle feathers on the blue one! I think it did turn out to be pullet :wee
