Lovely! I caved and got a brooder setup again since I was having such a difficult time finding birds off heat. I am still looking to add 2-3 more though. How old are the birds you have? Or do you have any chicks available too? Thanks!
Hello fellow Colorado chicken lovers! Does anyone have started pullets/hens? I've raised from chicks before, but would like to add established birds. Thanks!
Here's my most recent pic! The 2 cream legbars and starlight green have no wattles and yellow/nude combs. The 2 buff orpingtons have red comb and wattles.
Happy to report that so far my cream legbars are still looking like pullets! The starlight green is also currently looking like a female.
My two buff orpingtons however are both looking like roos. Both have a pink comb and wattles at almost 6 weeks old.
Thanks! Fingers crossed Norma turns out female as my 2 buff orps are looking like roos.
It's funny how they're all different. Also, I always heard cream legbars were aloof/skittish, but one of mine is sooo cuddly!
I got 1 starlight green egger (along with 2 buff orps and 2 cream legbars) from TSC on May 13. Norma (bird #3) is my starlight green. She is the most elusive and skittish out of all of them. So far still looking like a pullet, but time will tell!
Hey y'all! I have 2 buff orps that look quite different. Bird #1 is larger, has a distinct tail, and a more pink comb and wattle. This bird has always been bigger than bird #2.Possibly a roo or too early to tell?
Bird #2 is smaller, short tail with a pink/nude comb and wattle.
Thanks for your...
Adding photos of my SGE too! It is bird #3 in all pics. It is the most flighty and skittish out of my five chicks. Currently has a beautiful copper coloring on its neck with black and gold wing feathers.
I started a new thread as I didn't mean to take over this one! More pics in my thread. Thank you!!
