...bought as straight run. All of the others were suppose to be pullets (but we all know how that goes!)
The 3rd and the last were the two who I *thought* had pointier feathers than the others.
I would hate for my BR to be a roo. It's the sweetest thing. I thought roos were ornery, lol...
I tried the feather trick. There are two chicks that I think have more pointed feathers, but they all sorta look the same to me So any guesses on these girls/guys would be great. They are all around 10 weeks old.
The one is my favorite (I know, a mom shouldn't have favorites!). She/he is...
What is the difference between an EE and an Araucana? The feed store that I bought him from had them labled as Araucanas. (I bought 4 total from that store)
I hope she is a girl This chick has been my favorite since day one, but looks different than my other chicks. (thicker legs, longer tail feathers, the red comb developing) She/he is an Araucana and is about 5-6 weeks old.
LOL, you are so right about this being an addiction! We started with 2 chicks in April. One was a roo, one was a pullet. The roo had to go, we are in the city. The pullet was killed by a 'coon . Got 2 full grown hens from a neighboring city, and love them so much, we had to get more!
Went...
Forgot to mention that! I need to find hens because the neighbors are too close.
I finally found a home for my Roo who was suppose to be a pullet. He went to a farm out in Gaston
The new hens are beating him up, ack!
I need to find a new home for this young, Gold Laced Wyandotte Roo. He's only a few months old.

I just wanted to say "Hi" from West Linn!
We also got our first 2 chickens (ever!) from Coastal at the OC shopping center about 9 weeks ago. SUPPOSE to be 2 pullets, but one of ours is a Roo too. I thought they ordered them already sexed! I bet most of us have a 50/50 chance when we buy our...
Thanks for all of the kind words everyone! We reinforced it like crazy today and should have a calm night. I'm curious, what is "hotwire" ?
Terrielacy, are you a cashier? I've probably been through every cashier's register...seems like I'm there nearly every day What a small world it is!
Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the chicken world, and had to come where others would understand!
Last night, raccoons discovered a weakness in our coop, and got to my ONE and ONLY pullet (we bought 2 pullets, turns out one is a roo) I'm so upset with myself for not keeping her safe
Today...

New to OR or new to BYC? Either way, welcome!
New to BYC. We've been in Oregon since '99 (from AZ). My grandparents had chickens in the backyard of a typical 1960's built Phoenix neighborhood. I have fond memories of their chickens and always wanted to have a coop in my yard. We...
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and live in West Linn. We got our first chickens a few months ago at Costal Farm & Ranch. They were both suppose to be pullets. I posted this pic on the chick board, and the consensus was "she" is a "he"! So, if anyone wants a really nice, young rooster, I have...
LOL, I'm sure my neighbors won't take too kindly to a rooster. One already complained that our dog barks at him when he's on "his" property (my dog does not know about property lines, go figure!).
We would love any info on getting new pullets, since it looks like we will only have one--the...
This chick is suppose to be a pullet, but she is looking more like a he *I think*. I'm very new to chickens (these are my first two!) so I would appreciate any opinions. Thanks so much!
