    Is this Frizzled cutie a roo?

    Still hoping it's just too early. My other chick is a RIR- same age. Has the comb too but no wattle and comb is still yellow, and she's all feathered out. Thanks!

    Is this Frizzled cutie a roo?

    5 week old Bantam Cochin- supposed to be a girl, but the slow feathering and pink wattle/comb base is telling me roo. Is there still a chance for a pullet? Thanks!

    Thank u! He is very gentle with the chicks. I try to get as many pics as I can when they are this little before they lose all that fluff

    Here are my babies RIR Scarlet and Cochin Violet with my Pom Chowder. The babies think Chowder is their mama! They follow him around in the yard.

    Why is my baby cochin not growing?

    Oh I hope I don't have another roo! She was supposed to be sexed from the hatchery, and a replacement for the 3 roos I just rehomed. She is eating and active, though very skittish. She gets that pasty butt every morning too. She is very tiny- so maybe I did get a bantam. Thank u

    Why is my baby cochin not growing?

    I got her from feed store last week- they get their chicks from Privett Hatchery. She's about 1 1/2 week old, but still all fuzz. My RIR chick is double her size and has the feathers already (same age). Is this just a slow developer? Is there anything I can do? Thanks!

    What breed did I get??

    Oh wow I just googled it and looks like that's her! Thanks everyone! I'm happy with a cochin! Can't wait to see how she turns out- my BCM had same colors and quickly turned black. Thank u!

    What breed did I get??

    I replaced my roos with new babies. There was a bin of mixed chicks at Ace that came from Privette Hatchery. I thought it was some type of Maran b/c of the feathered feet, but Ace said they didn't order black marans. What breed is she? I'm just hoping for dark brown eggs. .

    Please confirm that these roos

    Oh didn't know that about saddle feathers. These are my first flock and I got 3 roos out of 4! Bummer. Thanks!

    Please confirm that these roos

    I thought so too Michael. I guess they were too young at 9 wks to tell when I tried to return to the breeder. It's been a guessing game! But I did have an inkling all along both were boys. Thank u!

    Chickens are now 3 months old- I heard crowing today but not sure from which one. Breeder thought these were girls bc they were small at 10 weeks old. Last post here BYC thought white OE was a girl at 9 wks. Everyone said BCM was a roo. BCM has huge red comb but breeder said her hens had big...

    Still hopeful BCM is a girl??

    Hmm...I just googled black marans and he certainly looks like one. I got him from a local breeder and she only has black copper marans and the white marans in her breeding program (supposedly), but I've been questioning it too b/c there should be some copper on neck by now. I know BCM hens...

    Still hopeful BCM is a girl??

    I posted before and everyone agreed (including myself) that my Cookie was a roo at 9 wks old b/c of large comb and wattle. Well now she is about 11 weeks old, and still has large comb but it's more on the yellow side. She also doesn't have any Red/copper patches on her wings, just a few on chest...
