Quote: that's how i described them to my hubby!!! They DO look like a road runner!!!

Wow! They are great looking hens! You learn something everyday! I would never have imagined these chickens in Modesto! The world gets smaller all the time!

Quote: Unless I miss my guess, you are in the Lago Chapala area. You might have to leave the area to get good chicken stock. Those hens seem to be the type people raise to fight, gallos de pelea. They are light weight and fast. If you are looking for egg layers, I suggest Rhode Island...

I think this is funny and interesting. It's a good thing to get them while they're young so they lay in the laying boxes instead of all over the yard! I wondered what would happen bringing a new chick into the flock on Sunday. Would she follow Mr. & Mrs. Chicken back into the tractor and...

they're running around in your neighborhood??? I suppose it's largely latinos too They probably brought them up from Mexico with them! Well, what can I say, "que milagro!" the general consensus is that I actually got hens! tehehe

Rufus, chickens there may be, but finding them is the problem! I had two vets and a pet store tell me that he was the one to go to. It was nice of the viviero lady to give me one of hers. She had it because someone from Michoacan was able to bring chicks in for an elementary school project...

yes, deep breath, I'm not offended. Chickens are for the funny farm! Maybe it is a roo! It has greyish legs in comparison to the other two, which are more yellow...UGH I don't know! You have to remember, I don't live in the USA~! If they're roos, I'm taking them back! but see, i've seen...

If you scroll down the link i posted earlier to the Grey, she looks just like it. The roos are a different color.

What makes you think she's a roo? Loose feathers? The rooster jumped her so yes her feathers were loose. . Ok manana i'll get a pic of all three. I haven't been able to find a sexing site for these chicks. They're 2 months he said.

the seller promised w/out a doubt that these are hens. The last time i bought from him he said they were too little to know, like they were bread w/a rir hen crossed w/a barred rock...but no, they're a black sex link. I'm not going to get my blood pressure up by a few guys trying to get me...

Quote: en serio??? Really?? are you teaching them how to raise chickens? kakakaka! I went back and bought two more for a total of 3. Appearently they only lay in summer and early fall. But they're great broody hens. in that case, the roo gets to stay. I'd like to see what I can get w/a...

i guess i got a pullet looking at this site, she looks just like the Grey pullet! http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Games/BRKAmerGame.html

pues tal vez en el fin son wopos:lau Does anyone know how to sex the chicks? Did I bring home a gallina/hen? I probably should know this before buying two more. This is the same seller that sold me 5 black sex link roos & said they were all RIR!!! I'd held out that they were another breed...

Yes, you've got to be correct LareePQG! In fact, the seller did say something about finer fighting cocks and I asked if they were for fighting. He tried to back paddle a bit because I think he thought I wouldn't take it otherwise. The reality is that I want a broody hen and this was sorta...

Definitely has some game! The rooster is a complete and utter JERK! He already initiated her! I think she'll be fine now. She looks like a road runner Yes, I'm referring the the one behind the roo. They're either going to live in harmony or he's going to be dinner! He was the poopy butt...
