    BLRW and D’Anver genders

    Interesting! I got them from a breeder here in Nebraska. That color does look a lot like his.

    BLRW and D’Anver genders

    Bummer. I was hoping the d’anver was a pullet. It’s my favorite. 💔

    BLRW and D’Anver genders

    They are both 10 weeks old. Guesses on genders? Does the BLRW have black or blue coloring? Does anyone know what color the d’anver would be considered? Thank you!

    Predator-Proofing a Prefab Coop

    Thanks for the advice, everyone. I ended up zip tieing the skirt to the metal frame and it worked well. It’s been almost a month now and we’ve seen the fox three times, but we haven’t seen evidence of it trying to break in yet. It’s probably been watching and I’m sure it’s only a matter of time...

    BLRW Gender

    That is a crazy coincidence! They are both beautiful. Mine are from a local breeder here in Nebraska.

    BLRW Gender

    I have two 7.5 week old BLRW chicks. One is definitely a cockerel. The other I’m not so sure about. She/he has a single comb, so it’s more difficult to compare her to her brother. Photo #1 is the chick in question. Photo #2 is the chick (right) next to her brother (left).

    Predator-Proofing a Prefab Coop

    We bought the Producer's Pride Defender coop secondhand and are trying to make it completely predator proof. We are moving to a new house this weekend and there is a mama fox with four kits who have a den probably 20 feet from the back fence line. This thing needs to be solid. Modifications...

    Gender help: silkies, cochin, orpingtons

    Great to know they are both blue! I never would have known that.

    Gender help: silkies, cochin, orpingtons

    All five are around 8 weeks old now. I’m 95% sure the lavender and blue orpingtons are cockerels, but if someone can confirm, that would be great. I think the buff cochin is a hen. No color on her comb and only small wattles. I gave her brother away weeks ago because he had a huge red comb and...

    Help with Sexing

    They’re all 6-7 weeks old, so I might have to post again in a couple weeks, but let me know your thoughts. I know the silkies are probably not possible to sex at this point but I’m throwing them in here anyway. Lavender Orpington Blue Orpington Buff Cochin White silkie Black silkie

    Roosters or hens?

    Thank you! I just put them on a white plastic chair in front of a window.

    Roosters or hens?

    Yeah, the wattles are especially making me nervous. The other two I have are silkies so I'm not even going to bother to post those. I really hope I don't get 6 out of 6 cockerels.

    Roosters or hens?

    They’re still really young, but let me know if you have any guesses. 1- buff cochin. I think she’s a pullet after comparing to the one below. 2 - another buff cochin. assuming cockerel. 3 - Lavender (blue?) orpington 4 - Lavender orpington 2
