    Barred Rock, cream legbar hens crossed with Wheaten Ameraucana?

    Ok, so I’m very fascinated by genetics and I have just set 9 eggs in the incubator that are a result of two hens crossed with my wheaten Ameraucana rooster. I have 5 barred rock eggs and 4 cream legbar eggs started. Can either of these crossed be sexed at birth or even once feathering starts...

    Help! My pullet is walking backwards and gasping!

    This afternoon when I went to clean out the brooder, one of my d’uccle pullets was acting funny and kinda getting run over by the bigger full sized chicks. So I took her out to check her over. She started gasping but not turning blue or anything. But now she acts like she can’t walk forward...

    Blue laced red Wyandotte’s determining gender

    So I have a couple of 10 week old blue laced red Wyandotte’s that I think are pullets. I had three my last batch and all ended up to be roosters. They had very obvious wattles at this age and were sparing with each other all the time. These two have very feminine faces but one has less...

    Girls?? 5.5 week old Blue laced red wyandottes

    Any thought on if I finally lucked out and got female BLRW?? I got all roosters earlier this year and hoping these two turn my luck around. First two pictures are chick 1, last three are chick 2. My boys had obvious wattles at this age so I'm hoping I have girls!

    I need help figuring out the sex of this one. I was thinking hen, but also not as familiar with the gold laced wyandottes.

    Best Florida hatchery?

    I am potentially looking at all of my 10 chicks being roosters besides the cream legbar.... Not sure that I want to go through with raising straight run again this year only to get all roosters again. Can anyone give me their reviews on florida breeders or hatcheries that ship confirmed...

    Best place to order sexed chicks?

    Anyone have recommendations on a good place to order quality birds that are sexed pullets? I've been getting straight run from a local breeder and love her birds but I have gotten SO MANY ROOSTERS. I really would like a black copper marans pullet and the one I got is definitely looking like a...

    Wyandottes with possible single comb??

    Two out of my three BLR wyandottes look to have a single comb while one has a flat comb that looks like it will be a rose comb. Only 2 and 3 weeks old and straight run. Are they really going to have different types of combs? Does this hint at male or female?? This is my first time owning...

    sexing blue wheaten ameraucana by color?

    So most of the research I've done on sexing blue wheaten ameraucanas has said that if they have a lot of darker feathering that means they are a cockerel, as opposed to the pullets who are lighter and less flashy. I know its early at 3 weeks, but do I most likely have a little cockerel here...

    5 week old Lavender rooster

    I need help sexing this 5 week old lavender Orpington. I'm pretty sure its a cockerel but orpingtons are hard for me to figure out. Its also not friendly at all and hates being handled, while my buff hen is much more chill. I've also seen it breaking up fights between the other chicks, so...

    crossing a wyandotte and a cream legbar?

    So I'm completely new to chicken genetics and was looking up how olive egger chickens come to be. I know if you have a marans rooster and a blue egg laying hen like an ameraucana or legbar you can hatch out an olive egger. I was curious what you would get with a blue laced red wyandotte...

    Pullets or cockerels?

    So I picked up three buff chicks at two weeks old. Two had tail feathers and long wings, the third had no tail and short wings. Now I'm still thinking Mr. No tail is a Roo but the other two I'm not sure about. Can anyone help me? They are 5 weeks old now.

    Need help sexing my 5 week old buffs

    When they were two weeks old two had long wings and long tail feathers and the third had no tail and short wings. I was guessing two pullets and one cockerel based on that. Now I'm thinking I might have two Cockerels and one pullet? I can only keep hens so I'll be depressed if they are all...
