    Roosters?

    Thank you very much! This was very helpful. I'm still learning about the sex link process but, in the last week or so, started suspecting that these were roosters.

    Roosters?

    I bought these in late May as chicks so they're about 13-14 weeks old. Although they were sold as a straight run, the breeder thought they were sex links. Maybe she got the sex link backwards? Thank you for your advice. #1 #2 #3

    Predominant breed in this rooster?

    This is very helpful to me. I'm trying to learn more about identifying breeds. My inclination is toward purebreds. I've shown goats and rabbits in the past and appreciate the predictability of purebred. I'm not interested in showing chickens but am intrigued with the breeding aspect: improving...

    Predominant breed in this rooster?

    Thanks! I had hoped he was at least half something definite but I like him anyway. Thank you!

    Predominant breed in this rooster?

    I know this guy is a barnyard rooster but wondering if you see a predominant breed? He hatched in early September last year so still young. Thanks for your help!

    Double checking myself: all roosters?

    Thanks for your input. I'll try to get a better shot of #3. He/she kept following me too closely when I was taking pictures. LOL

    Double checking myself: all roosters?

    These guys are from September or October hatchings. I think they're all cockerels. Although they are barnyard chickens, do you see a predominate breed (except the white one. I recognize his breed)? I have raised Leghorns for several years for their eggs but want to branch out into other colored...

    Breed ideas on these chicks?

    We just hatched 3 chicks out of a barnyard mix. Any suggestions what breeds they might be? Number 1: Number 2: This one has a lighter chest and some orange on head/neck. Number 3: Almost totally black with a small light area near the tail/vent. Thank you for any ideas! The breeder I...

    Colorado dryness in incubation

    I looked at the pump when I got the incubator and the price scared me off. With our low humidity, I may have to reconsider. Thanks!

    I do have the Octagon. That's a great idea. I will definitely try that next time. Thank you.

    Colorado dryness in incubation

    I bought a Brinsea Advanced Incubator after my first incubator failed midway through the incubation cycle. On the first incubation with the Brinsea, when I got to lockdown, I had a horrible time keeping the humidity at 65%. Our air is very dry here in Colorado and, even with 2 sponges in the...

    I'm sorry. I think I hit the wrong button in replying. I didn't mean to start a new thread.

    Thank you for your kind responses. I will post this question also on the incubating-hatching eggs forum. I have a barnyard mixture of eggs for the next try with everything from chocolate brown to green. I'm not worried about the spikes in humidity but in the low levels. I like the idea of a...

    New - from Colorado

    Hello from northeast Colorado. I live with my family on the plains of Colorado and we have 13 acres about 5 miles from the nearest town, so we enjoy the freedom to raise chickens, goats, rabbits, and more. I've raised Leghorns for several years for the eggs but I decided this summer to try other...
