    Could one possibly be a hen????

    I posted these before and at the time they all looked the same. Three weeks later they all look different. (The tail feathers for instance). They were suppose to be Australorps but as you can see they aren't. Just hoping one or two of them may be a hen. One of them is even "rumpless". Theses...

    Rhode Island Reds??? Hen or rooster?? Need help quick please...

    OK I was just told that at 12 weeks old a RIR would have a dark red comb and wattle by now. The green tipping around her neck and the little green in her tail feathers just had me thinking rooster, rooster, rooster. And the lacing thing, that's their normal feathering look. Is this correct info???

    Rhode Island Reds??? Hen or rooster?? Need help quick please...

    Something really wants me to be a "Rooster" mom. I keep acquiring them. Maybe I am wrong though. Please help. If one is a rooster I need to exchange it this afternoon. I swapped 2 Easter Egger Roosters for these 2 (Hens??) The fellow said they were both Rhode Island Red Hens...I'm just not...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    The seller sold them to us as all 4 being Australorps along with 4 EE's and 3 Black Cochin Bantams. Said they were all girls too. Out of the 11 we have 2 girls! What a lesson we learned being new to chickens. Now we are attached to a bunch of friendly roosters. Couldn't wait to get pretty eggs...

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    I was told to post these over here and see if you Maran folks can help. We bought 4 what were suppose to be Australorp babies but they look like they are turning out to be something different.

    Australorp...Hens or Roosters

    We have 4 Australorp chickens that will be 14 weeks old on Sunday. Three of them have darker red combs than the other one and he crowed a few times about 4 weeks ago. We moved them to a different coop with some older hens and roosters and he hasn't crowed since to our knowledge. I have read that...

    Amazed by one breed...4 different looks!

    Yeah the first one "Chiefaroo" jumped right into showing he was a rooster. He is the one my husband wants to keep. He is big, started crowing at 10 weeks, and he struts his stuff. He is not as loving as my ex "Miss Priss" that turned into "Mr. Priss" (haven't decided on a new name yet, any...

    This can't possibly be a rooster...

    He is beautiful. You're lucky...I have ended up with 3 of those manly beauties! And the worse part is you raise them from babies and get so attached to them. There is no way I could even think about eating one.

    Please help with this EE...

    Thanks. That is so disappointing. He has been the most femine acting of all of them. Hint the name "Miss Priss". Darn Sissy. Chiefaroo acts all male. Amazing at the difference. Promised all girls. Can't trust anyone anymore.

    Amazed by one breed...4 different looks!

    Are they Americaunas or Easter Eggers? That has been the other thing we are not sure about. Which rooster do you think will turn out to be the prettiest?

    Please help with this EE...

    We bought 4 EE chicks from a private seller. We were told they were all girls. (This is our first experience with EE). They will be 12 weeks old Sat. 4/25/13. So far 2 are roosters. We are certain because they are crowing at 5:30 am every morning. We are pretty sure that 1 is a hen. But the one...
