    4 week old “pullet” mounting other chicks...

    Actually, that was the first thing I researched on Sunday when I saw it happen, and I read the same (that sometimes young pullets will mount others to show dominance), so that’s what I thought was happening (which kinda made sense to me with her being the older baby sitter because I had them in...

    4 week old “pullet” mounting other chicks...

    And thank you to everyone for confirming our suspicion. It’s actually kind of funny because two of the other younger chicks we bought were from the straight run bin (a wellsummer and salmon faverolle), but I did my research and thought I did a good job picking pullets (chose the wellsummer with...

    Gary Poppins is maybe the best name for an accidental rooster that I’ve ever heard! I actually laughed out loud when I read it!

    4 week old “pullet” mounting other chicks...

    So the last time we ended up with an accidental roo, he was kind enough to start crowing at 4 weeks old, which kept us from playing the guessing game, but this is new... Two weeks ago, we bought 4 chicks (3 that were less than a week old and one older (two week old) ameraucana (assumed Easter...

    Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

    Thank you so much! That site was very helpful!! So far he is an excellent roo (and despite being only 1/4 their size), he keeps the ladies in line and doing what they're supposed to (I'm actually shocked that they all mind him so well!). I will say that him and the 3 pullets he's with now all...

    Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

    [/ATTACH] I hadn't considered that possibility yet. Recently he has definitely started developing some purple tint to his tail and wing feathers, but his body is still black. I've added some additional pictures of him from when he was younger (from 2 weeks to 10 weeks old) to see if that helps...

    What can a Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantam pair with?

    I have a roo and he lives in complete harmony with two easter eggers and a production red pullet. Actually my production red is my biggest and sweetest girl (she's 14 weeks old) and her and the bantam are soul chickens and best friends! Despite being 1/4 their size he's definitely the boss, but...

    Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

    Okay please forgive my ignorance because I'm very new to this... Somehow this little guy got mislabeled or tossed in with a group of week old brown leghorn pullets. When he started crowing we assumed we had a brown leghorn roo (one of the 10% that sneaks through). Then when all my pullets...

    brown leghorn pullet vs. cockerel

    Our leghorn is in much the same boat with Easter Eggers and a Production Red (not nearly as varied as your flock but the same principle). I held out hope that he was a she until the crowing started! Lol! I'm now in need of another hen, and I can't decide which breed I should get. I would...

    brown leghorn pullet vs. cockerel

    If it makes you feel any better my 7 week old Brown Leghorn "pullet" started crowing last week... This is his picture for comparison.
