    Possible Naked Neck mix? Missing feathers in wrong place.

    Will do! And thank you very much!

    Possible Naked Neck mix? Missing feathers in wrong place.

    They're on the dumor starter/grower and get enough food that I sometimes worry their little crops will pop! I did just remove the two problem cockerels and they did pull some feathers out the others (only tiny patches on 3 other birds above the tail or shoulders) but if these are feather picked...

    Possible Naked Neck mix? Missing feathers in wrong place.

    I bought some eggs from a woman selling hatching eggs at a chicken swap and were told they were mostly silkie/cochin bantam mixes but I would have a few necked necks mixed it cause they sometimes get into the hens' yard. From the batch I got 2 really nice looking naked necks, but I also got 2 of...

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

    Anyone have some insight on this little guy's gender? I'm trying to make sure my cockerel is indeed a cockerel.

    What are these white chickens?

    I've had chickens for the last 2 years now and I bought some dyed chicks that were for sale at the local feed shop this year. Their dyed down is almost gone but it looks like I might have 3 different breeds or maybe just some hatchery quality birds. Chicken #1 Chicken #2 Chicken #3

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

    I have a questionable BSL that came from my blue splash EE rooster and Barred Rock hen that is supposed to be a cockerel but with it round plump body and short tail makes me question that. The comb looks cockerel compared to the pullet's smaller one and it was hatched with a yellow head spot and...

    Are they "Black sexlinks"?

    Thanks for the quick reply and that's definitely good to know! That's a nice roo you have there! I love the color.

    Are they "Black sexlinks"?

    I hatched some eggs from my birds but in particular I'm curious about my supposed Black sexlinks. I crossed my BR hen to my EE rooster (who I suspect carries the dominate white gene) but my "black" sexlinks have come out gray (Blue?) and black. Are they still "black sexlinks" if not completely...

    Are they "Black sexlinks" if grey in color?

    Okay, I have a simple question about some black sexlinks I hatched. I've made an incubator from an old ice chest that works good and decided to try it out by hatching some of my own eggs from my flock. I used my eggs (Barred Rock hen and EE rooster) but when they hatched they're not black like...

    Ameraucana or EEs and gender help

    I will hold onto both of them at least until I hear some crowing to be absolutely sure. I mostly wanted some insight so I can start on a stratagy in case I do for sure have 2 roosters. One I can manage, I just don't want any fighting. I'd hate if any of them got hurt.

    Ameraucana or EEs and gender help

    Thank you everyone so much for the feedback! I'm glad to know their sex. I was hoping for at least one hen out of the two (I also have 8 more hens of different breeds, but I believe there is someone in my area who breeds the EEs and may can trade one of my roosters for a hen and I pay the...

    Ameraucana or EEs and gender help

    I don't know if it matters or not, but they also just recently got over a bout of cocdidosis (Sunday was their last day of meds) and the blue splash was the one who had it the worse out of everyone and is just starting to get the color in its face back. The brown was hardly affected (didn't show...

    Ah! Thank you, I'll get clearer shots of their combs in the daylight tomorrow.

    Ameraucana or EEs and gender help

    These two are a little over 5 weeks and were sold to me as Ameraucana from the local feed store but I would be just as happy if they turned out to be EEs instead. I'm pretty sure the grey is a rooster (behaves like rooster and has the rust colored feathers on the shoulders and long tail...
