Yes first one is a bantam and I really think your right on that one, the second one... Dubbed Tweety was really yellow and fluffy and then poof, it came out all colors. I have been watching for the rooster type behavior like my other two, and it seems to me if it is a male he hasn't shown to...
All right time for picture updates! Lets see if your guesses are still the same for these three!! Boys, girls, and what kind of chickens do I got? Lol. All I know is they are so pretty!
Well the atwoods around here cant label anything right. The bin I got my bantams from all said pullets on them. So I thought they were all hens and then we had them a bit longer I thought the #3 was the boy. Lol I looked and all articles for juvenile sexing and it said something about neck...
Super Helpful! Thank you so much! Having roosters was not in my plans at all and it is making things a bit more flustrating but...i am grateful for all this advice! I usually try to have things in order but I am finding this adventure has a lot of different variables.....loving the challenge...

Holy Cow! You really think my first ones a rooster...it is a little broody like. Constantly gathering up the others and when its not doing that it is picking auguments with 2nd one and third one. But its really cool!
Thank you! I sure think their just the most beautiful chicks! I got the bantams first and then the other two cause I just couldnt help myself! Now my hubby refuses to take me back to atwoods anymore, lol
Hi my fellow Chickeneers! I live in southeast Missouri and a mom of three teens. Wife of a retired Army vet and recently moved to an area where I could finally have MY CHICKENS! I am so excited! I did quite a bit of research but need actual people that have or is raising these beautiful babies...
