They're 7.5 weeks. I'm thinking roos bc of the size and color of their combs, as well as the eradic feather coloring on them. This is my first time hatching so I hope I'm wrong. That would mean I hatched 5 roos and 2 hens 🤦♀️
I posted the same query a couple of weeks ago and these are the last 4 that we are unsure of still. I was hoping since they are a bit bigger now, y'all could gimme your expert opinions once again. What do y'all think? Hens or Roos? They're a BYM with a Colombian EE daddy
Hello everyone! These beautiful babies are 4 weeks old. All mixed. Can anyone give your best try at sexing them for me? If you want to help us figure out the specific mix, The Rooster is a Columbian EE and the possible hens are
RIR
Brown Leghorn
Black sexlink
Lavender orpington
Cochin
Any and...
It's quite a bit bigger than the others, but like I said, they're all pretty much from different hens. There's 2 RIR babies in there for sure, but this is the only one with any red at all so far. I'm a major newbie, so can you elaborate on "male vibes"? Thanks so much for the input.
So your saying that these two could make an all black chick? We also hatched 3 all black ones, but we have a black sex link hen so I assumed they were hers.
The only reason I thought it could be the lavender orphingtons is bc there were for sure 2 RIR eggs that hatched and none of the other chicks look anything like this one.
If you're looking for big one, the Rooster we had to get rid of was a Lavender Orpington. No exaggeration, he was double the size of the EE rooster we have now. He was mean as could be though, but knowing what I know now, that's probably bc my mother in law handled him a ton.
This baby is 3.5 wks old. I know its early, but I'm dying to know if this is a pullet or cockerel. I can't compare it to the other hatchlings bc they all come from different hens. It is either a cross between a Colombian EE rooster x RIR or Lavender Orpington. Please chicken experts, tell me...
