    Maine

    That's where I started 3 years ago. Very nice folks. Our original flock started with 9 of their 8 weeks old pulletts...GC, RIR, WL, EE (THEY CALLED ARACAUNAS). One was sick from the time she was egg laying and died at 1 1/2 years old. Another died this past winter after laying and ovary :(...

    Quote: Are sure about #4 being a pullet? I thought that 1 for sure was a cockerel. #2,3,5 I was unsure about.

    Thank you for your replies and pics of your babies. Can anyone else with raising BO contribute. I seem to have a mixed bunch here and would like to see what the odds are? Feel free to post pics of yours around that age.

    Is she a white leghorn....?

    That looks like an orpington egg to me.

    Is she a white leghorn....?

    My white leghorns have yellow legs, much larger combs, but very similar body shape.

    buff orpington hens or roos...10 weeks old

    How would I be able to tell at this age? Only 1 with no red comb or wattles. The other 4 all are very red and have been for about 4 weeks. Bodies are getting larger but not really any larger combs or wattles. I have seen other pics of BO's that looked similar to mine at this age and ended up...

    Starting from the back is chick #1 and in order to the front is #5. Which ones are you seeing hackle feathers on? #4 for sure has the hackles and the super red comb.

    buff orpington hens or roos...10 weeks old

    Can anyone help me sex these BO's? I have 5 in all... ALL but 1 got red wattles early on. I have read lots of post on here about sometimes the hens getting red early. Thats what I'm hoping for but reality tells me differently. The group: My only FOR SURE Hen #1: Chick #2: #3 and #4...

    whats the difference with a black andalusian and a black australorp

    Are the leg colors the same? Sort of a slate gray color? Will both breeds have large combs and wattles?
