auto sexing is not as easy as I thought. I am thinking 3 boys, just want to be 100% sure cause I did not think boys had the stripe down the back.

that's true, and this guy will be lovely! I'm not gonna do anything until I hear crowing...I still have hope.

about 3 1/2 months is their age...It's the same one in the pictures..well except the picture where there are 2 birds. I wanted to be able to compare tail and possible saddle feathers. Well I think they are full siblings, not sure, would have to ask to be sure, but this would make my 3rd...

wondering what you all think. I'm worried I could have a boy cause if one is a boy they are related so I won't be able to keep him. :( what do you all think. My daughter says no way, both are girls...the the comb is so much larger. about 3 1/2 months

He's kind of local to me, I love the babies I got..

Yeah, I won't do that again, adding chickens to the flock is stressful for me and for them. Now I'm going to worry about what's going to happen to the darn rooster when I return him.

that is what I am thinking, I had to drive 2 hours to get this "hen". Ug...of course I can get a new one but I can't just introduce 1 hen to my flock.

I bought this chicken as an older PULLET, I have my doubts. Not crowing, not that I've hear and I'm told the way the Polish chickens are even hens can have longer feathers. About 4 1/2 months, maybe a bit older. What do you all think? It's a hatchery bird I'm pretty sure. Sweet as can be though.

Great insight! thank you very much! I hope I get a change to learn so much about chickens, I think I like them as much as I like my horses!

Makes sense, thank you so much. One side is kind of large, and I was thinking she was older too. It was tricky though cause she's not real big for a barred rock and the rooters she was with were clearly young. I'm not very good at this but I'm pretty sure I'm right about that. No big deal...

thank you again jetdog! Pretty exiting to have chickens again, now that I don't have a rooster it's even better!

thank you as well Shmccarthy...what's up with the spurs then? anyone know?

OOOH, love your reply jetdog!! You seem very sure! She's the only chicken I bought that could be a good layer. The other 3 were just for fun. I think I picked up an elderly silkie and some weird white chicken that looks like a road runner that my daughter just fell in love with! We just...

Well thank you for your help in a guess. She/he was with some young roosters that were CLEARLY roosters. I hadn't written her/his number down so when she came up for bidding she looked so different and I loved barred rock I went for it. I wondered why she went so cheep but I got her/him home...

Had to go take a couple of pictures.
