    is this guy a rooster?

    I bought 4 "pullets" from tsc that vary from this color to lighter buff. This guy has a lot of Roo characteristics. I am hoping I am right. after many hours on chicken sights and on here I believe he is a golden comet rooster. He was very light when I bought him the lightest of the bunch. He...

    Golden Comet Rooster X Golden Comet Hen Pictures

    I am pretty sure that this is a cockerel and as you can see he was very patchy in the right photo at 5 weeks now here he ? is at 10 weeks. The reason I believe he is a boy is his face is beginning to become red he is getting wattles under his chin and he is more v shaped than the rest of my...

    What breed are these hens?

    the buff one looks like my golden comets. the hens have butterscotch colored feathers with patches of white here and there. very friendly and great egg layers all year from what I have read. the other one looks like a gold lace windotte mutt.

    What breed do I have?

    everytime I think I have the breed down on my tsc chicks They change. I know the blacks are barred rocks but the buffs ? I think they are red or gold stars but I will wait patiently while they feather out the rest of the way to find out if they all really are pullets and what flavor.

    3 week old chicks?

    I started giving my babies broccoli at about 3 weeks. Make sure you have the grit for them to grind their food with. I cut all the very tips of the broccoli off and they went nuts for it. today they had fresh spinach leaves cut up in tiny pieces. I also noticed when I put my chicks in a new...

    Spoiled Chicks... Do they even know they are chickens? (pictures)

    Gonna have to agree on this one Ruby is a Robby. Hens dont normal get their red like the roos do. Keep handling him and giving him treats and he should be a nice boy. Hens are happier when they have a rooster. I have three buff babys and one that looks like a rir or hampshire red. cant wait...

    Is it safe to use a fish tank/plastic storage bin as a brooder?

    I am using a 55 gallon rubbermaid tote and it is working great. I had a 250 watt heat lamp on them for the first 2 weeks and then just had the heat on in the spare room where I have them for now. During the day I have a section partioned off where they get their exercise and fresh vegys for...
