    Anyone looking for an experienced roo? Lost my entire flock of girls to dogs/fox/coyote(?) in two days. Getting out of the chicken business. "Ghirardelli" is a very handsome, four year old BCM roo and needs a new home where he can roam and tend to a flock of his own. He was very sweet and...

    Lost my entire flock of girls to dogs/fox/coyote(?) in two days. Getting out of the chicken business. "Summer" is a 1.5 y.o. Golden Duckwing w/ rose comb. Father was a SLW, mother RIR/BCM - came out handsome as can be. He was just starting to establish himself with the ladies when they were...

    Eggshell abnormality

    I have the same thing with my black marans. Is it a marans thing? She is about 3-4 years old. Anyone know what this is? Calcium deposits are usually adhered & a part of the egg. These things will pop right off with a scrape. Eggs seem fine otherwise. Could this be it? She seems completely fine...

    SLW x BCM/RIR...Roo?

    To Griffinsong & Roosters Crow - Thank you both very much! Very helpful! Top pic is my mixed breed cockerel w/ SLW pullet. Below is the another two updated pics of the mixed breed chick in question. I'm more & more thinking a pullet.

    SLW x BCM/RIR...Roo?

    Ah-that explains it. Thank you! It seems I may have lucked out w/ only one roo in the bunch. Still not entirely sure about this one. The black roo chick with the rose comb has significantly more developed comb and wattles & thicker legs. The other three chicks are not showing combs/wattles at...

    SLW x BCM/RIR...Roo?

    Ha! So far 50/50! This is one of five chicks hatched out. It would be great if only ONE was a baby Roo! But I'm just not sure! The other three chicks are showing almost no comb yet at all. I'm wondering if the sex-link works backwards?? Usually it is Red/Black Roo + Barred/Laced Hen = Blond...

    Black Sex-Link Picture Thread!

    Daddy roo is SLW, Mama is BCM/RIR Does the sex link work this way too? There is another black chick w/ rose comb that is almost certainly a roo. Yellow/Brown above is feathering out beautifully, w/ thin bars - but thinking a pullet.

    SLW x BCM/RIR...Roo?

    I had a SLW Roo on a BCM/RIR mix. This is one of five chicks hatched out on 4/13. Another that looks just like it, but w/ Wyandotte rose comb, is (I'm nearly certain) a Roo. Not sure about this one though...What do y'all think? I'll post pics of the other when I can get a good shot. THX!
