    Olive egger Roos ??? Oh no !!

    Yippeee ! I was keeping my fingers crossed with pullets and hoping that the red was just a sign of maturity ... but I’ve been caught or so many times this year with our chicks as they are all breeds that we’ve never had.. I can’t wait for these girls to lay! Thanks guys

    Olive egger Roos ??? Oh no !!

    Our Olive eggers are approx 19 weeks - they are showing very red combs and slight wattles. I had thought these were pulleys. We have never kept OE before, are these hens just showing signs of maturity or do we possibly have late to bloom Roos? No crowing yet !! I had been looking out for...

    Easter Eggers

    We bought “ameraucana” and “araucana” chicks ( they are plain old EEs ) but I’ve noticed a huge difference in size between the so called Ameraucana and Araucanas. We have these really big firey yellow “ameraucana” and then these little bitty “araucana” chicks, they are the same age - what breed...

    If I had to guess I’d say Roo..until this year we’ve only ever had silkies and he looks like a roo to me - although I never have my boys up until I heard them crow, just in case!

    The flock of Cochins

    The partridge is def a Roo ... sad because I love his fluffy feet. The grey Cochin bantam I’m unsure of... these guys are currently 4 weeks old.

    Easter egger roo ?

    I noticed that the tail feathers had a green glint to them when the light was shining just right and I’m seeing a difference in the comb compared to the others from the same hatching - is this little Easter egger (sold as an araucana) a roo ? The second (lighter colored) chick is much larger...

    Revisiting little Cochin bantam

    I’ve been trying to work out who has been picking on my little BCM roo... today I spotted th culprit and watched a little sparring match... is this little Cochin a he ?? I had thought pullet because my other Cochin bantams were showing far more comb and wattles way earlier than this little one...
