    Sasso Ironas - Looking for photos of adult birds.

    Here are the other three, the (hopefully) females. The red is just starting to come in and the camera didn't pick it up well. The first one has no red, the second a little bit and the third has more. These three feathered out really quickly whereas the "for sure" cockerel feathered out extremely...

    This is the cockerel from today. The other three are quite shy and I don't have good, recent pictures of them. I can get some tomorrow though.

    Sasso Ironas - Looking for photos of adult birds.

    Those are the ones! 😉 I'm mostly wondering what the hens look like. I've got four 6 week olds. One is definitely a cockerel and the other three seem to be female. All of the hen photos I've seen look pretty similar to a Barred Rock but my three that I think are pullets have varying amounts of...

    Does anyone have adult Sasso Irona chickens that they wouldn't mind sharing pictures of? Google doesn't seem to bring up anything except for the same two photos all of the hatcheries are using.

    Red Sex Link or no?

    Just a little update on this dude. Coming up on 20 weeks now.

    Red Sex Link or no?

    Sorry, I didn't see your reply until now. His father was definitely a pure Rhode Island Red and all of the hens were supposedly purebred as well (no Bielefelders among them). I do agree that he looks a lot like one though.

    Red Sex Link or no?

    I agree, it has to be the Barred Rock even though it shouldn't be. I saw the rooster and he had zero barring and was a nice, dark mahogany color. We're keeping this guy so I'm looking forward to seeing what he looks like fully grown.

    6.5 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks

    Sorry, these aren't the best pictures but you can definitely see the pointy saddle feathers now. "Dorothy" is in the front. My son has renamed him Ted now.

    6.5 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks

    I just switched to a new phone and it doesn't look like the most recent pictures transferred over. I can take a few tomorrow though for you. The saddle feathers are pretty obvious now.

    6.5 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks

    I just wanted to come back to update that, at 10 weeks of age, it is now obvious that Dorothy is a cockerel. The other two still look like pullets though 😉 🤞

    Buff Opington?

    No, I know this, but this is what I have currently. It'll probably be more apparent what she might be as she gets older, I was just curious if anyone recognized her as something else other than a Buff Orpington because she didn't look like one to me.
