Thanks everyone for your replies and photos. Those are beautiful birds. Identifying mine is now a moot point as the little guy suddenly sickened and died the next day. I really hated to los himbut I'm happy the rest of the chicks from the order are strong and healthy.

We just received our chick order from McMurray yesterday and, of course, they included a free "exotic" chick as a gift. I've been searching to see if I can determine what breed it is and my best guess is Golden Laced Wyandotte. I'm hoping some of you experts can help me with the...

I agree completely. People forcing their views either way turn me off them completely. I am considering becoming vegetarian for health reasons, but people who rant on and on about how stupid anyone is for consuming meat just make me sick. Whatever one chooses to eat is personal...to each his...

I went out to the coop this evening to put my 12 week old chickens up for the night. I have three one week old Ameraucana chicks penned in the corner under a heat lamp. The ramp that goes up to the roost ends right next to the brooder pen. As the older chickens were headed up the ramp to...

It was just a genetic anomaly...it can happen in any species, us included.

Hi! You're just down the road from me :) Good luck with your chickies!

Hi neighbor!

Thanks brahmabreeder I'm not sure yet what the SS Hamburg is. Hoping it's a pullet, too.

Hi AmyLM I am sorry to hear that you have such horrible neighbors. I have just started looking into the certification thing myself. Here is a thread I found yesterday that has some useful information. The TAHC info later in the thread looks promising. Hope this helps...

Thanks I kind of thought there should have been more difference by now if one was a rooster. I prefer two pullets. I will probably already have to make a choice between the black and white roosters. They are both gorgeous and friendly so it won't be easy to get rid of one. :)

Arggh! Sorry, I thought the descriptions I put with the photos would show up with the photos. The top two pics are the same chicken, different angles. That is the one I am wondering whether is a roo. The 3rd photo is the second RIR. Last photo is both together, plus the Silver Spangled...

I have 2-12 week old Rhode Island Reds. My White Wyandotte and Black Australorp roosters of the same age are already very easy to distinguish. One of the RIRs is becoming aggressive...comes and starts pecking me when I go in to feed them. However, other than the tail feathers being a little...

Thank you all for the welcome :)

Ha! Sumi, I don't plan to name the ones who will be consumed. Of course, as soon as summer comes and my granddaughter is helping me feed them, she will give them all names.

I'm in Warren (East Texas), north of Beaumont.
