    Congratulations to NavyBeans, and to you! Gorgeous little danger nuggets :love :love :love. Will any of the chicks join the free rangers? Broody raised chicks would make a fine addition to the group

    any ideas what kind of Roo this is?

    Yeah, those eggs point to EE/OE. Starlight Green Egger it is! I have had one, but it’s definitely not a common trait

    Replacement- Heat tolerant, colored egg chickens

    I’m sure that your temps are even worse than what we have, that’s why I really wouldn’t go for any smaller combed breeds, and certainly no “fluffy” chickens. Humidity is probably what makes the heat more unbearable, I agree. I totally understand not wanting more junglefowl-like birds. I’m not...

    Replacement- Heat tolerant, colored egg chickens

    Our summers regularly get to 40+ degrees Celsius temps, and relatively humid. This week has been pretty much unbearable for us humans, dogs, and most wildlife, since the lowest it has been is 37 degrees Celsius, with the highest somewhere around 43. The free ranging birds here are mostly a...

    Rooster with a Rose “comb over”

    If I’m understanding your OP and further posts correctly, this gorgeous Easter Egger male is well liked by his girls, has managed to keep them safe so far, and you have no complaints in regards to his temperament. I see no reason to cull him for his lopsided pea comb, especially since you are...

    Finally caught up, so apologies to any of you who opened BYC to find a bunch of notifications from this thread :p . Please accept today’s photos as tax. Sorry for the feather quality on the girls, letting nature do its thing with these three boys hasn’t proven to be the best decision

    any ideas what kind of Roo this is?

    He looks like a male red sex link. What colour eggs does Ginger lay? That could help determine the breed of both

    Hen or Roo _;³3

    I agree. This is a cockerel

    Possible rooster?

    Yeah, he’s a cockerel. Keep an eye on everyone, you might have more than one surprises. They’re still pretty young

    Possible rooster?

    It could be. How old are they? I wouldn’t worry about ratio and how well two males will work with your (give or take) 19 pullets. Every group is different, and each male is different when it comes to how many females he will actively persue. Many people, myself included, have had ratios of 1...

    Likelihood of this NOT being a cockerel

    Yeah, he’s a cockerel

    Araucana? Cut the crest?

    I see you’re in Australia, where the standard for Araucana is much different from the US standard. If she’s bearded, then she could be an araucana, though she could also be a bearded polish mix, because that crest is quite large

    I know, but since your gorgeous birds are not one of the recognised colours (as you said), I would enter them in the non APA. Wind’s OEGB is on the OP, and OEGB are also APA, but that particular pullet wasn’t a standard colour

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I do eat meat. Most regulars on this thread that do consume meat products have much healthier eating habits than me. All the males that are not kept are eaten, and so are some hens. I only recall of one case where I managed to find that bird a home. Still, I eat quite a bit of meat, and red...
