    what is this ugly rooster

    Thanks so much for all your comments and suggestions. I just have to clarify.. when I say ugly, I mean that in a good way. I really like this big rooster and I'm glad he's so 'interesting' looking. I hadn't even thought of Malay, I didn't even know what they looked like until I just looked...

    what is this ugly rooster

    Does anyone have any ideas what breeds this rooster has in him. I hatched him from a bunch of random eggs and he's about 19 weeks old in this photo. All the other chickens from the batch look pretty normal, but this guy is really mangy looking. He hardly has any wattles yet, in fact his ears are...

    Chicken Going to Drive me to Drink - Is She a He?

    She looks just like one of my hens... see. I got her from someone who had raised a bunch of chicks of unknown origin. The owner said he thought she was a leghorn cross, so that's what I've been calling her from the last 3 year. But, now I know that she is actually an Iowa Blue, how exciting...

    any suggestions on the gender of this araucana cross

    Ok, I'm worried now about the gender of my araucana cross. does anyone else think it is a boy? I couldn't resist posting some pics of my chicks. They are about 8 weeks old now, any idea what they are? I think they all have the same father, but different mothers. Chick 1 - from a blue egg...

    BLRW/BBS Ameraucana Chick... It's a GIRL for Sure (Newer pics post 45)

    Hello, Just thought I'd post a picture of my chicken for comparison. This one came out of a blue egg laid by an araucana (Australian standard). I have no idea what the father was - i thought RIR, but now I have no idea. She is just over 8 weeks old now. I'm interested to see how she turns out.
