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...

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...
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.
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...
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...
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.
GA - ATL Metro - OTP South
Four five week old chicks for sale
2 - Silver Laced Wyandotte - pullets, both have pretty eye liner
2 - SLW x BCM/RIR - Black: One Single comb. Single comb pictured; One Rose comb - cockerel.
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!
