    Blue Laced Red Wyandottes - very few tail feathers 12 weeks

    I have 2 BLRW chicks that are 12 weeks old, but have very few tail feathers. Is this normal? If so, when will they start getting tail feathers? I am still trying to figure out if they are pullets or cockerels.

    Sexing 6 week assorted chicks

    Here are all 7 of the chicks at 11 weeks. The Black Copper Marans cockerel is really starting to show some pretty feathering and also trying to crow. I initially thought my 2 EE were pullets, but I am becoming more convinced they are both cockerels. The Russian Orloff is a cockerel. I'm not...

    And 6, right? I was also questioning 4 since it is getting green tail feathers.

    Sexing 6 week assorted chicks

    I have attached updated pictures of all of the chicks at 8 weeks. I am starting to question whether some of the ones I thought were pullets are actually pullets. What are your thoughts? I am going to try to post updated pictures every 2 weeks until we know for sure who is a pullet/roo.

    Sexing 6 week assorted chicks

    We had a broody hen hatch 7 eggs. All of the chicks are 6 weeks old now and we are trying to figure out how many are pullets/cockerels. We are thinking all of them are pullets except for our one French Copper Marans which has a large red comb and big waddles. We have (2) Blue laced red...

    BLRW combs

    So does that mean they are both BLRW, but one of them has a recessive gene for the comb?

    BLRW combs

    I had a broody hen hatch 7 eggs 6 weeks ago. 2 of the eggs were Blue Laced Red Wyandottes and I have noticed there have 2 different types of combs. Could any one give me any insight into this? I have attached several pictures of the 2 in question. Thank you for any of your help!

    Extending broodiness

    Will putting fake eggs under our broody Australorp keep her broody? She just became broody on Sunday and I ordered some eggs, but they aren't available until the first week of May. Thank you for any help you are able to provide.

    EE/Brahma babies

    I have one cockerel and three pullets. Here's to hoping this cockerel has a better attitude than the last one. The last EE roo we had was extremely aggressive.

    EE/Brahma babies

    Here are updated pictures of the chicks at 9.5 weeks. I definitely think the first one is a cockerel and the "twins" are pullets. The pure white one I think is a pullet, but the downward curl of the tail feathers have me questioning myself. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you for your help. I will post updated pictures in a few weeks and hopefully it will be more obvious at that point.
