I have an 8 mo. old rooster and was wondering around what age my girls should be before I let them hang out together. They are all 2-1/2 mo. old - 3 BO, 1 Australorp, & 1 Silkie (she's the boss). He's pretty docile, in fact he's a big scardy-cat, but I'm afraid that he may try to breed with...

Sorry for the delay in getting pics posted - our girls got here Wed. safe & sound....YAY!!!!!

Our chicks should be shipping out today too - soooo excited!!!!! We should be getting 3 BO's, 1 Australorp & 1 Silkie. Ours are coming from MPC also & we didn't get any phone calls with order problems so I hope that means everything went OK - I got a little nervous when I read a few of these...

well....as i said, one of 'ems gotta go!! unfortunately, my 11 yr old son has pegged that one as his favorite & it might look a little suspicious if we had roast chicken to celebrate his move to the "farm" If he knows whats best for him, he might want to stop being so rude to me! (the chicken...

well, once you see the pics you'll know there wasn't really any question. I was just hoping that he/she(#1 - the darkest) would just be a really masculine hen:( I guess that means that #2 is a fella too, right? (boo hoo!) Oh well, I'm pretty sure that #3(the lightest) is a hen. But is it weird...

AAAAAAAA! Dont say that!! What if all 3 turned out to be roos - oooooo that would really put me in the doghouse since I jumped the gun & picked these out on my own! My husband & I had a plan to get all BO's, but I couldn't help myself. In my defense, they feed store guy said these were marked...

i can post different pics too if needed - i'm not sure what ya'll look for when placing wagers about gender:)

I posted pics of these 3 last week trying to find out the breed & got several possibilities. They've changed quite a bit in the last week so i'm hoping that the breed my be a little easier to tell now. I'm also getting really curious about the gender so any help in those 2 areas would be...

Thanks to everyone for the info - I guess for the time being I'm gonna just say they're some kind of "red". I may wait a week or two until they feather out some more & update my pics and see if it becomes more telling. Still kinda curious about the little light colored one - it seems to be more...

what about the light colored one in the 4th picture. Do you think it's the same breed or maybe just younger? Husband is concerned that i may've picked out a breed that doesnt lay well & isn't dual breed - that's why we wanted to BO's so much. We were hoping that if one of the three was a roo we...

the one closest to the front in the 2nd pic looks like he/she has lost something:lol:

sorry - I went back & added pics (forgot 'em the first time:rolleyes:)

Got these cuties 1 week ago (3/4/11) from local feed store & I guess they should've only been few days old? We had decided we wanted to go with all BO & they man said these were marked "Buff" when they came in. I assumed he must know more than me & I was really anxious to get some so I told...

My daughter & I want a silkie so bad, but the MR. says no. (only interested in egg production:() Oh well, maybe we can keep trying till we wear him down!

Oooooo....I want one! Cute, cute, cute
