Unfortunately where I live roosters are not allowed. The feed store will not take them back, I’ve already asked. I will post him online locally and see if I get any takers. If not, I guess I figure something out. I’m sure someone will want him.
I purchased three Cuckoo Maran chicks from our local feed store that were supposed to be sexed but I’m 99.9% positive I got a rooster...ugh! I know the sexing is not 100% accurate but I am so frustrated! Here is ‘his’ comb/wattle photo and tail. Plus a photo of one of the others I got at the...
Thank you everyone, I appreciate all of the information. I did not know that they could lay a different color egg than from what they were hatched so that is very interesting.
From what I understand the only one I can confirm is a pullet will lay brown eggs, totally disappointed as I keep trying for more green/blue eggs and keep getting cocks! Ugh! Lol
Precisely, I have two Rhode Island’s, a Golden Comet, these three alleged EE’s, a Black Shuman, two 4 month pullets that are olive eggers, and two White Cochins at the moment so I definitely had nothing to compare to. Plus I have 9 more chicks my mom hatched in her classroom coming soon so I’ll...
Yeah, all three of mine were hatched at the same time and the one that is clearly a pullet has a much lighter and less pronounced comb. But the other who is very clearly a cockerel has pronounced long and curved plumes already, this one is like half and half, lol. And I do have some other hens...
These photos are all of the same chicken, I posted the photos that were suggested in the guidelines. You’d like more of just this one? Like an up close of tail and profile?
Hello,
I had backyard chickens most of my childhood but not as an adult, now that I have started a flock of my own I have found this page to be a helpful resource for all of my questions and concerns. Thanks for having me!
I was given three chickens; was told they were Easter Eggers but I am unsure of breed and have one that is clearly a pullet, one is clearly a cockerel and the third is a mystery. I’m hoping someone here can help!
Hatched 4/4 or 4/5
