    Are these roos or hens

    Disagreeing with your poorly formed opinion in a public forum...yes.... Harassing you... no way... Feel free to retreat to your safe place..

    Are these roos or hens

    So, the opinion of some "neighbor" is a good indicator that the birds are underfed and nutritionally deficient as opposed to the visual evidence provided by the poster that shows the birds are fine. Don't follow your logic...

    Just stop... those chickens are obviously not nutritionally deficient or underfed... They appear to be well taken care of... they'll lay when they are ready...

    Is this a Wheaten Ameraucana Rooster?

    So, you need to figure out what your breeding goals are... Production Reds are a line of RIRs that are bred to enhance egg laying... some claim as high as 300 eggs/hen/year... Black Sex Links are a crossbreed of high output egg-layers with the main emphasis of being able to determine the sex...

    How old? 12-14 weeks? Looks like a pullet to me...

    Are these roos or hens

    It's when the day light hours start to lengthen significantly again. Layers that mature this time of year often wait until then to start laying. They could still start anytime, and adding artificial lighting might help them start... but it's hit-or-miss. Good luck, either way... You'll...

    Are these roos or hens

    Yes, wait until February... Nah, but seriously, you could try artificial light in their coop. Not sure it would work, but definitely by Mid-February...

    Are they Marans???

    Like Cel45 mentioned. What were the color of the eggs they hatched from? I think from their coloring, they'd have to be Blue or Blue Copper Marans if they are Marans. This image shows 2 Blue Copper Marans eggs... If the egg color was white, it's possible they are Andalusian. The face...

    Roo or hen egger?!

    Haha, not often someone is upset at being given a pullet close to laying age for free. Especially a pretty bird like that one. But I get it. You needed a rooster... Shouldn't be hard to find one.. People trying to offload roosters all the time. Good luck!

    Hen or Roo. First time chicken owner

    Looks like a hatchery bird, but a pretty decent example. Not a great picture, but the chest lacing looks nice from what I can see. The extremely fine lacing in the wings of the SLW rooster is one of the first things to wash out from the breeding line...

    What breed is she??

    You probably have 2 birds that are laying on alternating days, or one that is taking a break from laying. Even with Easter Eggers, a hens egg color is determined by her genetics. They will never change egg color - intensity of color will fade and intensify based on where they are in their egg...

    What breed is she??

    Here'a a good thread on the confusion and reality surrounding the Ameraucana/Araucana breeds and the Easter Egger hybrid. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/128806/differences-ee-ameraucana-araucana-pls-post-pics

    Silver Laced Wyandotte sexing

    It seems that this bird's comb and wattles have reddened significantly since your original picture 3 weeks ago, though comb and wattles haven't grown significantly.... Can't really tell if saddle feather shape is a concern based on these images. Overall pattern does seem to be a bit in line...
