So my cochin I bought as a sexed hen, but she appears to be a rooster :( Any thoughts for sure?
My wyandotte, likewise, seems to be a rooster:
Both are 12 weeks old.
Any thoughts??? Thanks so much!!
Hi all!
My blue cochin (not bantam, full-sized) Azure is almost 8 weeks old. I bought her as a female day old chick from a hatchery, but her comb and wattles kinda look too large and red for a girl. Is Azure a roo? :(
The first one is a roo, the next two are both pullets. Congrats! :D Also, I have a lighter colored partridge rock pullet like yours... they are SO pretty.
I agree! The BLRW does have a bit more red. Oh well. Thanks so much for the helpful info about green feet and EEs. That's so helpful! Indeed, my mystery bird doesn't have cheek tufts, but I might have gotten a clean faced one. :D
Thank you so much!!!
I realized that there was a typo -- my chickens are 7 weeks old, not 17 -- but I still think my BLRW could be a pullet.
Are Easter Eggers the only breed with green shanks/feet?
Hi all!!!
I have a batch of chickens that are a little over 7 weeks old. I have a BLRW, who I don't know the gender of.
And here is my unknown chicken. I believe she's a female, since she has almost no comb/wattles and there is no redness there, but I don't know what breed she is...
Wow!!! thanks so much, everyone! This information is extremely valuable and will help me a lot. I'll keep all of this in mind when I am building it. :)
Hi everyone!!!
I am a senior in college, who has raised chickens for years (but never incubated eggs). Since I'm studying engineering, for my senior project, I am constructing an incubator with automatic temperature/humidity control and automatic egg turning.
My question is: how sensitive...
I don't think the first one is an andalusian -- andalusians are really skinny/slender and yours looks a bit bulkier. Not sure what she could be though! And yes, all of them are definitely girls, and the red ones are Red Sex Links ^_^
Hi everyone!
This is my silkie Fiona. He/she is a bantam silkie, about 8-9 weeks old. I know silkies are super hard to sex, but I was just wondering if anyone had an idea? I think/hope it's a girl, but I don't know! Anyone want to guess? Thanks in advance :)
