    Anyone have Welsummers from meyer hatchery or ideal poultry?

    No pictures of her HUGE matte/terra cotta-colored eggs at the moment, but my Meyer Welsummer is still going strong at almost 7 years of age. Thinking she still lays upon occasion, too. Very sweet girl. Highly recommend.

    Thank you! He's still young and molting into his adult plumage. Can't wait to see how he turns out.

    Mystery breeds...

    #1. Something mottled....most likely Ancona, but Exchequer Leghorn and Mottled Java are other options depending on source. Time will tell. #2. What comb type?

    @007Sean Any ideas which melanistic subset these little ones are yet? Possibly green?

    Is this a cockerel or a pullet? Ameraucana or EE?

    Easter Egger cockerel - gender is based on red wing bars and pointed saddle plumage. :) The beard gene suppresses wattle growth, so he'll never sport large ones. He also has a pea comb, which is one of the smallest, most inconspicuous comb types regardless of gender. And as for breed, true...

    Updated Photos of my 6.5 week old Chicks - Pullets or Cockerels?

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/black-copper-marans-roo-or-hen.981040/ If it makes you feel any better, this is a very old thread of mine featuring a 7-week-old BCM who ended up a pullet. By comparison, she was nearly identical.

    Brahma - roo or pullet?

    Cockerel based on coloration alone. Males will appear patchy/uneven, while partridge-type pullets will be penciled.

    Any ideas of what gender?

    Also agree.

    Updated Photos of my 6.5 week old Chicks - Pullets or Cockerels?

    #2 is a definite male. I'm also thinking #1 is also, given comb size and what appears to be the beginning of darker plumage in the shoulder. The rest aren't screaming cockerel for the present.

    Light-colored Melanistic Mutant pheasant?

    I absolutely will, as your input is always a treat. It's interesting how different all of my melanistics look....there's quite a variety. Hoping to get pictures of my younger, chocolate-colored group soon. Just as a side note - I actually find these guys to have superb color.....this picture...
