Our old batch of roos were the same way. Once one went to a new home, the other started crowing.. We recently gave our for sure young rooster to a friend so waiting to see this ones moment to shine lol
Still no crowing but the tail feathers for us are screaming roo... showing some signs of rooster personality traits as well. Guessing just a late crower.
We have a confirmed Easter Egger Roo that's been crowing since around 6-8 weeks and has an obvious red comb. This Easter Egger was purchased at the same time. Approximately 12 weeks old now... has a pink comb but it's a decent size, no crow yet, but the feathers have us questioning. What's your...
That's what I'm thinking! I have 2 older starlight green eggers and one of them was similar in coloring but had more noticeable darker yellow chipmunk coloring on the back. This one does not... but I've determined at least 3 of the chicks are colored layers.
Just picked these chicks up today from a rare breed hatchery choice bin. 3 have puffed cheeks... Figured out that the light colored one is not a faverolle due to the missing extra toe and feathers on the feet. It does have a little gray on top of its head. Last picture shows the breeds that they...
That one looked like a chipmunk chick to start and then developed those colors. The light colored one here is my other green egger! I adore their little mohawks.
One looks like the one you are describing that you have and the other looks like this. (One looking at the camera with the mohawk) Those were the only 2 crosses they had available.
Yours looks like a colored egg layer most likely.. Is that a little mohawk? My starlight green eggers have mohawks. My olive eggers have similar leg color as yours. Yours definitely has similar feather coloring to mine though!
Here's the most recent pictures of the two of them. Going on 10 weeks old. One has deeper reds/darker tail, and the other has more golden reds. Similar body shape and feathering... Might have to wait until they are laying to get an idea 😂
I actually got all of the chicks from Tractor Supply which I believe is supplied through Hoover Hatchery. I've been getting mixed answers from multiple people but was leaning towards some type of leghorn because of the earlobe color. Welsummer was thrown around a lot as well. Her and another...
Just seeing this... Honestly I'm not sure on other options. Narrowed it down to those 2 because of other people's suggestions. Still fairly new to raising chickens and learning breeds.
