    Who's got a broody hen?

    I have a broody Cochin hen that I put some eggs under her last night. Someone let me have some Cream Legbar and Black Cooper Marans eggs, so I'm excited and I hope she does a good job. She did her broody growl at me when I walked up to her last night, but when I started to put the eggs under her...

    Ameraucana chicks - pullets or roos?

    Pretty birds! It looks like your blue might be a cockerel, and the splash a pullet. I think I see 3 rows on the comb on your blue. These guys are tricky though. I've had blue, black, and lavender Ameraucana's, and the cockerels were not immediately obvious.

    Help Determining Breed and Sex of Chicks

    Your first two chicks look like Welsummer or Partridge Rock maybe. The third looks like a Rhode Island Red. Your barred rock I'm not sure. It doesn't look like a for sure cockerel, but they're not a breed I have experience with.

    Are they ready.

    They look ready. If they've been off heat I think they'd be fine. I put mine out between 5-7 weeks and we've had some random cold nights in the 30's and they've done great.

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    Thank you! I'd love if two of them were pullets. I guess I'll have to be patient and they'll let me know for sure soon. :)

    Black Cooper Marans and Swedish Flower Hens

    Any ideas? I have a few better pictures of the two Marans (hopefully). It's so gloomy and rainy here so not much natural light. And they have food on their beaks lol I posted a few of the others in the Swedish Flower Hens thread hoping someone would have more of an idea.

    Three "assorted rare breeds" from Meyer Hatchery for ID

    If it's from Meyer's rare breed assortment, maybe a buckeye?

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    I've enjoyed reading through many of these posts. I just got 3 of these beautiful birds, but I'm wondering if I have all cockerels? I'm not certain on the ages, I'm thinking between 7-10 weeks? I can exchange for pullets if needed, so there's that at least ;) This one with the comb and wattles...

    Black Cooper Marans and Swedish Flower Hens

    I went and picked these chicks out yesterday. 3 Swedish Flowers and 2 FBCM (from GFF lines if that makes any difference)....and 2 CCL chicks but those are sure pullets. I'm hoping I picked pullets, all of them had smaller/paler combs than the others in the pen that were obvious cockerals. But...

    Olive Egger help

    Thank you! I believe he/she is around 4-5 weeks, so I hope I'm able to tell soon. No boyish behavior so far. Kind of a little chicken butt, very cautious and a little skittish. Legs seem a little thicker, but so do some of our other pullets. I won't be surprised either way. This is today with...

    Olive Egger help

    Thank you! I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one. I've had boys show themselves earlier than this, but I've also had a few late bloomers. That's good to know about the legbar combs, it's the strangest one I've seen. I wish I knew which bird was which, unfortunately I don't. Our friends...

    Olive Egger help

    Thanks for your responses :) I sure hope pullet. I really like "her" and would love some olive eggs. What kind of comb is that though? It's like all flat with a weird little twisty bump?

    Olive Egger help

    Last week our friends husband picked up 2 olive egger chicks, supposedly pullets. I'm not sure how old, they looked around 2-3 weeks when we got them. Anyway, she told him they were "black copper mixes" and they both have these little head tufts. So I figured Cream Legbar/Marans cross? But mine...

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    Thank you for the reply! It's hard to get a chicken picture with an uncooperative chicken and uncooperative baby I guess we'll just keep watching and hope she's just a fast developing pullet. We can't have roosters and we already have a little Cochin rooster that needs a home.

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    Supposed to be a RIR pullet, but there's been some comb growth and pinking up. Could we have a rooster here?? "She" isn't assertive at all, seems pretty docile and more of a follower, also about 6 weeks old.
