    Roosters have utterly terrified my hen!

    This hen, in particular, is a year old - is established in the flock and has been here from the beginning. We've always had one rooster - and she has always been a "favorite." Why, suddenly, has she gone nutty?! We do have a recently matured cockerel (who will be culled soon, just waiting for...

    10-week old chicks - sexes?

    Here they are at 12-13 weeks now / the two that have me waffling. Saddle feathers are white and hard to see! (I know they're just developing, but two have noticeably pointed ones now.) I've gotten mixed opinions and am just looking to be sure! Thanks so much! Chick 4 Rex (cockerel? I...

    Cuckoo maran chicks hatched may 1st

    They're still young and I'm no expert..! But from the whole idea that CMs can typically be sexed by color - I do see a notable difference in that last chick pictured. You know I'm in the same boat..! My four have me super stumped.

    Cuckoo Maran sexing...

    That's what I thought! We have two and two like that - the ones that are larger though, with bigger combs (though not very pink ones) are the ones with darker coloring. The two with light barring are smaller and have less of a comb. I suppose I'll know better in a few weeks!

    Cuckoo Maran sexing...

    Okay, I'm stumped! Help a girl out? The dark ones have pronounced combs and are bigger - whereas the lighter ones look pullet-y and smaller. I know in this breed it should be the opposite? If it helps a they are 7 weeks old and as day old chicks they were all dark and the same color. Chick 1...

    10-week old chicks - sexes?

    I'm so relieved the EEs look to be pullets! I bought them sexed but you never know.. They ARE pretty! Caramel reminds me of a salmon favorelle and I am so excited for (hopefully!) green eggs! Here's a better picture of "Rex" from the side, but he's sitting down. He's the best at hiding and...

    10-week old chicks - sexes?

    Okay! I have my guesses and have had some help here but it was determined they weren't old enough then. Now they're 10 weeks old and I have to think of rehoming some Roos! I'd hate to give away a pullet by mistake. Aside from EE all have Brahma for father. * "Caramel" -EE "Rex" - Thought...
