    Hoover Mix-Up?

    Nothing as yet with that. If the comb turns red and starts growing larger than the others with wattles, then you've got a roo. Currently no problems. Also, sexing chicks at hatch isn't fool proof. Most breeds are 90% accurate. Some are more difficult and a 75% accuracy is considered good.

    6 week old Aracuana/easter egger sex and color?

    Last is still a cockerel. The rusty epaulets on his shoulders is a huge clue. And the red and growing comb. The first one has a reddish patch on the wing.....I think it's too low for the epaulets indicator, but it's on the watch list. The comb says pullet, but that can change overnight.

    Soggy mugs Rain started with some thunder yesterday evening. Not enough to instantly soak, more like initial boom followed by steady rain. The ladies were more interested in browsing, so thoroughly wet backs. I turned the heat on to help them dry. The guys were more interested in playing "Stay...

    Australorp or Black Star? Either way, not an Americauna!😂

    Not australorps. They're 100% black feathered...well, hatchery stock sometimes has a few random white tips that get lost during juvenile moults. They also have white skin.
