    Alberta hatcheries,

    I also order from Rochester but am wanting to get some different laying/heritage breeds. I have found some at auction but there is a risk there. It would be nice to know some other places (possibly breeders) in alberta.

    Roo or hen?

    I bought a group of Sumatra cross chickens from a poultry auction here in Alberta. Wondering if these 3 were Roos or hens? Also any idea what the "cross" might be?

    3 Ameraucanas?

    I would do the same but there is no option of buying these breeds sexed. I will try ordering a larger number next spring. They say they have a 48% pullet rate in groups of 25+

    3 Ameraucanas?

    I order from a hatchery here in Alberta called Rochester. There aren't many options close to home for ordering chicks. What is it you look for to differ sex in this breed?

    3 Ameraucanas?

    Are these three beauties all Ameraucanas? I ordered an unsexed mixed package from the local hatchery and am not 100% if these 3 are the same breed. Also pullets or cockerels? Chicken 1 Chicken 2 Chicken 3 All are 12 weeks old.

    Black Australorp

    Yup 12 weeks this Tuesday. The one on the right in the second picture I am thinking is a Danish Brown Leghorn pullet. Same age if you wanted a comparison

    Black Australorp

    I ordered a "heritage breed package" from a local hatchery and of course they come unsexed. Any idea what these 3 Australorps are? They are 12 weeks old Hoping for pullets as I am wanting to add to my flock of laying hens. I am thinking I didn't get so lucky though
