    Is this White Leghorn a Rooster?

    :) They are built different, in fact, don't be suprised if the heavier bird gives you light brown eggs. Her body shape and small comb look more like a white rock. The bird in question looks like a leghorn with her lighter narrow body and large comb.

    Is this White Leghorn a Rooster?

    At 5 months the bird in question is a hen. She looks like she'll give you eggs any day now!

    What breed is this? Meyer Meal Maker

    I agree MegC's bird looks like a dark cornish. I have one from Murray Mcmurray who is 5 months. She's a nice calm bird who enjoys foraging, even in our cold weather. Yours looks like a pullet so far. My birds legs looked off until 4 months of age. Now they're clearly yellow like they should...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Mine too! 2 blue eggs every day out of the three 1 year old hens. Nothing from the sex link. I've got 3 pol pullets who should be laying soon with two who might lay blue or green!

    Can you tell if this bird is a Leghorn or Cornish cross?

    A white rock is a possibility as well. They look too wide for a leghorn but I'm not getting a cornish cross feel from those chicks either. Another week or two of development will help. My white rock is much wider then my leghorn crosses but nothing like a cornish cross.

    Olive Egger breeding

    The barred rock hens will not contribute to the nice dark brown you're needing to get olive eggers. Try putting in some cuckoo marans with your olive egger roo. Depending on his genes you could get sex links and about half of his female offspring will lay olive eggs.

    My baby slikie

    She looks like a black frizzle cochin silkie mix. Very pretty! Looks like a pullet so far.

    Speckled Sussex - Female or Male?

    Still looks like a roo. Some boys take a while to crow. I've had roos wait 4+ months.

    Odd "Roo"....

    It is very common for an adult EE hen to have three rows of peas. Its just when a young chick has three rows its generally a rooster. Enjoy those blue eggs!

    Is this a rooster?

    At 8 weeks you have a rooster with that bright red comb.

    Do you have Easter Eggers???? Will you share a picture??? Please?

    Yes the large white hens are easter eggers. They have some leghorn (father) in their background which contibutes to the white coloring and yellow legs. They are considered EE and not your typical barnyard mix because they carry the blue egg gene from their EE mom. They started laying at 16...
