    Sexing and 2 mystery breeds

    Thank you all! I am surprised about the Jersey Giants! I purchased them as BA from Meyers, but you are right! The skin is definitely yellow. Oh well, they are still pretty birds.

    Sexing and 2 mystery breeds

    Thank you!! I sure hope they are all pullets, we aren't allowed Roos in the city. I had wondered about Welsummer, thanks for the guess! I also had wondered if she wasn't golden buff/sex link - the only reason I guessed EE or something else is her comb looks like a pea comb - or at least, it...

    Sexing and 2 mystery breeds

    Hi all! I have 7 chickens, all about 11/12 weeks old. I have 2 Black Australorp, 2 BR, 1 golden laced polish, and - looking for verification here - 1 EE and 1 partridge rock. I am curious if any stand out as Roos. I am wondering about my BA and BR mostly. One of my BA is really - runty? for...

    EcoGlow Chick Brooder

    Question - how long will the chicks need the ecoglow? I have one (and LOVE IT) and my little ones are 3 weeks old. They barely seem to go under it at all. Wondering how long they will need access to it?

    What breed is this little one?

    Dretd - thanks!! I had Golden Buff on my list of guesses. I thought that or New Hampshire Red, but she is looking so light! The brown one - interesting!! I had crossed Barnvelder off the guess list because they have none available now, but that would be pretty cool! I need to search more pics...

    What breed is this little one?

    Oooh an EE would be fun! The tough part about guessing is that Partridge Rock is a possibility for both rare breed and brown egg layer assortment, so figuring the brown one out doesn't rule either out! Not sure if this yellow one is rare or a brown egg layer, if that makes any sense. Yes...

    Barred Rock chick - roo or pullet?

    Thank you both! Aoxa, your pic helped! That's what I was hoping, I guess one of my girls just has more white than the other, but she is still relatively dark!

    What breed is this little one?

    When I ordered my chicks from Meyer, I selected one each of their "assorted brown egg layers" and "assorted rare". I received one brown chick and one yellowish/reddish chick. I am fairly certain the brownish one is a Partridge Rock (attaching a pic below) but the yellow-y one has me stumped...

    Barred Rock chick - roo or pullet?

    I have read a lot on here about sexing BRs, but I have a question about one of my new chicks. They are 2.5 weeks old, so I know it's really early, but is this looking like a roo? I really hope not as they aren't allowed in my county. I have 2 BRs in my little flock, one is darker than this one...
