Hi! :-)... I haven't posted much as my babies were too young for much critique... My rooster is 8 months. I have one other, but he's too young(in the fuglies;-) I would like to one day breed to sop... So I would like to get a sop critique from those that know... If I could ???
I have my own...
Il start posting pics of my pullets as soon as they start laying in the next few weeks... I've got a few that are over-Melanized, but plenty that look good .... Unless its worth posting pics now?? One group(6) is 18wks... The other(3) is 14wks....
Btw.... I really hope I didn't offend anyone...
Chicken pickin, I only responded to your request for feedback because I didn't want you to feel ignored... Not because I had any delusions of knowledge or selfimportance...
Thx for the feedback .... I've been lurking a lot for the last 5 months or so, posted a few times but not that often as I didn't feel I my birds were old enough yet to constructively critique.... I would like to think I'm #3... Honestly, I'm attached to having chickens... Not so much to any...
..... I will still claim newbie status... And I've heard time and again that pics aren't as good as seeing it in person. You know your boy better than a pic can show... And I am just starting so my opinion shondntvreally carry too much weight.... So be sure in take the opinion as its offered...
Total newb here... But his tail looks very similar to my cockerels.... And as that's a dq.... I prob wouldn't use him to breed Bcm's..... Beyond that, I wouldn't know
OOPS.... Lol..... Guess he's 14 weeks... I was counting months... He was hatched the last Sunday in may... So by that it would be 3 months, but 14 weeks .... Cause there's more than 28days in a month... Duh... Lol
So... Here is my Bcm cockerel I'm currently growing out. He's 12 weeks old. I'm really new(just 3 months) into Bcm's but want to breed to sop if I can manage with out breaking the bank ... Hard work doesn't bother me ... So I'm just starting to train my eye. Right now I'm looking for any...
So, out of my 12 Bcm chicks that I got to start, I had/have 3 roosters. 1 had a carnation comb and has already been culled. The other two are 5 and 6 weeks old. The younger one is already showing a great deal of copper all the way down his chest.
So my question is, is it even worth growing this...
I had thought they were supposed to be darker :-), but since they started with almost black eyes... I got scared.... Glad to know they could be changing for awhile till they settle down... :-)
K.... I had a whole question typed, then byc lost it :-( and I'm writing from my phone.... Grrr....
Is the straw colored eyes on the Bcm cockerel in the middle of the pic normal for a 7-8 week Bcm? This boy also seems to have (in my very limited experience) extremely pale shanks.... Most of the...
Zanna, at 3-4 mo, when you cull, are they big enough for eating? If not, what do you do with them? If this isn't appropriate for here, could you pm me? :-) thx
