    Madonna is a MAN? My Sex Link and Ameraucana are both roo's?

    Quote: Illia I would love to see pictures of your girls, so I can see the real deal. I have read that about hatcheries as well. I have another EE that lays the biggest pale green eggs, which is why I got two more. Thanks everybody, now I just need to figure out what to do with them. I don't...

    Got the new babies, but what could they be?? Updated pics!

    of # 4 &5 I think the one with the white on top w/ yellow beak is a BR, and the other my guess would be an Australorp though is sounds like a JG is also possible

    Welsummer....roo or hen? PART II

    Having recently spent a good amount of time inspecting two of mine that were supposed to be girls and are NOT, I would swear that is a pullet! Aside from the spurs she doesn't seem to have any signs (that I have seen on mine anyway, I am no expert though!!). Her comb looks pretty red, like she...

    Madonna is a MAN? My Sex Link and Ameraucana are both roo's?

    Quote: Well it's (supposed to be) a light/gold sex link which are not quite as red as the others. I have seen them be girls with some white underneath, but I am looking at other pics of male sex links and they looks just the same! I thought males would be ALL white (or yellow as chicks)! that...

    Madonna is a MAN? My Sex Link and Ameraucana are both roo's?

    Quote: LOL! Definitely denial!! And yes I vote for rooster muzzles! Quote: Illia if not Ameraucana then what? It seems like their looks can have a pretty wide variation from what I've seen, and it looked like/hatched from a batch of Ameraucana - sent from the hatchery The thing that...

    Madonna is a MAN? My Sex Link and Ameraucana are both roo's?

    I am hoping maybe I am just crazy, but it looks to me that both these birds are undeniably Roosters, and I swear I heard a cock-a-doodle do come from my yard yesterday. I have this delusion that maybe they wont crow too much and we can keep one (I'm guessing we don't have room for two and they...

    Official BYC Poll: Why Do You Have Chickens - Select All That Apply

    My other, and main reason for raising chickens: Because I want my children to understand that our food does not just come from a store. I want them to know that there is a whole Eco system that we rely on for our food and existence, and because of that reason we should take extra care of our...

    Using Dry Stall instead of Stall Dri for run floor? Is it safe?

    I went to my local feed store and asked if they had Stall Dri. He said he did, which I was thrilled since I cant find DE around here, and have not wanted to pay for the shipping. Well when I got home I realized what he loaded into my car was Dry Stall which is not the same thing... having never...

    When can my babies go outside? and some other questions...

    #1California Chick : Now I am really confused!! The info on the forum for raising chicks says that you should start with brooder heat at 95 degrees and reduce it by 5 degrees per week. That would mean that by 6 weeks, the temp should be 70 degrees, 50 degrees by 10 weeks. However, this...

    A.J.'s : Are you serious, or are you joking around? I see that you dont like to rely on logic to make your decisions, but just this time you might give it some th ought. Would you be cold out side with a coat on as nice as theirs? Have you ever gone without a coat in this kind of weather...

    When can my babies go outside? and some other questions...

    A.J.'s : Are you serious, or are you joking around? I'm totally serious. Is it ridiculous because they are in my living room in a playpen like spoiled brats? Or that they are way too young to be out in the winter? LOL

    When can my babies go outside? and some other questions...

    Hi, I am new to "raising" chicks. In the summer I adopted two ole' gals, but lost one in the fall to internal laying. So of course I had to get more friends for her... I have six 5 week old pullets in a playpen in my living room. They have now out grown this arrangement (at least for 24 hour...
