    Two roosters: Auracana/frizzle mix and his Auracana mix brother

    Two roosters, both very sweet, about 5 months old. They recently started crowing a lot and I have neighbors nearby and a hubby who doesn't care for the crowing either. The frizzle is very cool and unusual looking, sorta hoping to place the two boys together, as they still get along nicely. I am...

    Frizzle thread

    Here's my baby frizzle, he's very pretty! Today was warm, around 50, so I let them outside and moved them into my garden shed we have that I can hook up some heat to. I'll turn the heat on tonight for them. We are supposed to have a couple of nice days, hopefully it will be enough for them to...

    Frizzle thread

    Thanks for the response. That makes a lot of sense, obviously we get slowly acclimated to temperatures as well. I just wasn't sure if the feather type made a big difference as well. Since he is the youngest and smallest of this batch of chicks, I wasn't sure how much was that versus how much...

    Frizzle thread

    Do frizzles have poor cold tolerance? I have a baby frizzle/easter egger cockerel and he is about 6 weeks. I have some other babies (not frizzles) who are a couple weeks older than him, and they are all still in my basement, because it's been too cold to put the little frizzle out, and I don't...

    Quote: I have read that the cuckoo marans lay lighter than the Copper marans, but I really like my hen. I think she is quite pretty and her eggs are medium dark, definitely not super dark. She is also very sweet and very clever! She is from my newest batch of hens, other than the babies I have...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Quote: I posted on the what gender is this thread too, and got some feedback there. I think the consensus is that I have 3 cockerels :-( At least the one white pullet is very sweet. Now I just have to decide if I want to begin keeping a rooster or two... definitely do not need three! I guess I...

    what sex/breed/color are these?

    Quote: Bummer, but that's what I was afraid of too. How can you tell? Simply because the comb is a bit pinker? So, since this is my first foray into roosters, for those of you who breed your own, when and how do you cull your extra roosters? I might keep one, but I definitely do not need 3...

    what sex/breed/color are these?

    Thank you for the input, and the explanation on the color problem I ran into when trying to figure it out! That makes sense, crazy color combinations that aren't real "standard" colors. That's one of the coolest things about chickens are all the fun combinations of colors/eggs you can get in a...

    what sex/breed/color are these?

    I recently acquired some baby easter egger crosses from a friend who was breeding crosses just for fun and I picked out some babies who were "pretty". Unfortunately, I think I might've picked badly and gotten cockerels. LOL Anyway, previously I had always bought breeds from hatcheries and this...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    LOL thanks! They are Easter Egger crosses, one is a frizzle and super cute! They are definitely unusual looking pretty babies. Here they are.

    Here are my new new EE cross chicks. The white one I am pretty sure is a pullet, based on her behavior. The two at the bottom fight all the time and act like roosters, also the white and black one I think gave a baby crow! The frizzle baby is obviously younger and smaller than the others and I'm...

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Hello fellow Buckeyes, I am Amy near Cincinnati, and I have had chickens for about 3.5 years, I keep adding to my flock slowly! I currently have 10 hens and 4 new babies, about 5-6 weeks old. The new babies I didn't "mean" to get, just went to visit a friend who had hatched a bunch of chicks and...

    Here are my hounds! I breed this breed, we have Grandma, mom, uncle, and the two babies. They are great dogs! How funny, on the chicken forum, everyone is curious about my dogs :-)

    Thanks for the welcome. I am in Ohio, so the winters can be quite cold. So far I have kept them inside, but if the weather were warmer, they would definitely be out! I may convert part of my garden shed to a temporary chicken pen, so they don't have to go straight out into the cold with the...
