Hi guys. There are some beautiful birds on this thread. I am new to Heritage Reds, I purchased my first 10 (8 hens, 1 rooster and his son) in January 2012 and then was fortunate enough to find a second, smaller flock (3 hens and 1 rooster) in May of 2012.
Regretfully I do not have any...

I had a Blue Copper Maran that started trying to crow at less than a month old. He is now 9 weeks old and an expert crower...
He also developed his comb and wattles very early, but maybe the breed typically does that...not sure.
I named him Big Comb...
It looks like Ameraucana, or one of it's parents is Ameraucana. If the previous owner said Maran, perhaps it is a cross, which would explain the beard. If so, it will be called an Olive Egger.
But, I am no expert.
I think it is a pullet.

I have found that if I make a really loud, crazy noise like "Bbbbrrrrrtttttt!" that they will stand at attention and I can snap a picture easily. Be sure to have your camera cocked and ready!
Greetings everyone! I was hoping you guys would help us out with deciding what sex our Silver-Gray Dorkings are. There are 2 pictures each, one from side and one from top. These babies are just a few days old. Thank you so much for looking!
We think #1 is a boy and #2 a girl. Out of 28...
So sorry you lost the two.
Your best bet bet is to find one or three or more roughly the same age and the same color. They do not have to be B/Os but it would be better they were the same general shade of color especially if you introduce more than one. As with people, 3 is not really a good...
Try Claudia Gore allaboutdemchicks she lives in Shelby County....she has Delawares, Silkies, Orphingtons...that is all I can remember off the top of my head.
