    Roo or Hen? Blue Wheaten Ameracauna - 5 Weeks

    I have sinking sensation that this is a roo, but hoping that someone more familiar with the breed can tell me otherwise ... Thank you!

    Any idea what I am?

    This pullet is eight weeks old, hatched from supposedly Auburn Java eggs. A variation of the auburn gene, maybe?

    What Breed Am I? (Got the Answer!!)

    Trying again ... this chick came out of a very light brown egg. It was "supposed' to be an Auburn Java. Can anyone tell its breed?

    I'm not an Auburn Java - what am I?

    So I bought some rare Auburn Java eggs from an eBay seller. Two hatched. Seller is no longer an eBay member. Hm. Anyway, one chick is clearly an Auburn Java. The other one - any guesses to what breed this adorable chick could be? Thanks!

    Blue Araucana Chick?

    These Araucana chicks (from eBay eggs) hatched on 3/16. They are a day old in this picture. I know one is black – is the other one blue? Thanks!

    My comb is huge but I'm still an Exchequer girl ... right?

    My Exchequer Leghorn is nearly three months old. Leghorn pullets do have large combs ... but this large? I don't see pointed hackles yet ... but maybe the start of saddle feathers? Opinions, please!

    I'm a girl, right?

    I think my Ameracauna is a girl ... no crowing yet, and she looks hennish. But those iridescent tail and wing feathers, and the plumage that looks suspiciously like hackles and saddle feathers ... and the upright stance ... what do you guys think? Bernice or Bernard?

    Dog got my girls ... again

    I am so vigilant these days, locking up the girls at night, keeping the dogs separate, but something went wrong ... they were all outside the coop this morning, though inside the enclosing fence, which protects them from my dogs. But the youngest pullets were small enough to squeeze out. I found...

    Baby Pics! Lakenvelder and Golden Cuckoo Marans

    Hi all, Here are a few pics of my new babies - two Lakenvelders and one Golden Cuckoo Marans. Any guesses as to the Golden's gender? I have heard that males tend to be lighter. This is apparently my only hatch from eight Golden Cuckoo shipped eBay eggs - so hope it's a girl! A couple of...

    Am I a Speckled Sussex roo?

    I've been trying to get a Speckled Sussex hen for some time now - just hatched three that appear to be roos. Holding out hope for this one, but it's looking more rooish - is it definitely a boy? What do you think?

    What kind of Sussex are we?

    So I hatched some eBay eggs that were listed as Light and Coronation Sussex, with some mysterious results. I believe one of the below chicks is Light Sussex - any guesses on the darker one? Buff Sussex? I know it's not a Speckled Sussex. These babies are almost two weeks old and have delightful...

    Losing about one per day ... :*(

    This is my first hatching attempt. I'm using eggs shipped through eBay. The initial set came from three sellers - the eggs of only one seller really developed. Beautiful little hearts beating, then their eyes showing, then movement ... There were 10 little birds living, and then one by one, in...

    Tylan not working - can anyone advise? Pic!

    So I did a very stupid thing a week ago, and added a new pullet to my little flock. Of course, she brought something extra - a respiratory disease. All the chickens are about three months old. I put them all on Duramycin in the water. The new pullet kept sneezing, and my favorite hen started...

    9-week-old EE Hen or Roo?

    Pictured is Hayato, our nine-week-old EE, purchased as a hen. S/he made a few crowing attempts shortly after dawn yesterday. S/he is mostly the dominant bird of the flock of four other hens. Wise ones of BYC, what say you? Hen or roo? Thanks so much!
