That is what I was thinking, just had to get some other opinions as I was at the 90% sure. But I'm actually happy that she is a he, so no need to be sorry! Now if the others had been boys I might have been a little sad as I hate trying to give away a boy, no one wants them where I live so they...
So bought all pullet chicks, and I think they might have messed up with one. Which would be awesome because all I have are hens otherwise and having one boy would probably make them all happy. But even though I'm pretty sure, I wanted some backup opinions just in case.
It's the barred rock...
Thank you so much for the info, I free range my chickens so they wouldn't have to share a run but I think I will build the second coop because I'm just so nervous about the older girls harming the little ones. One of the older girls did go broody but not in time for me to sneak some in, so I...
The chicks that I have are 4 weeks old and all feathered out, they can fly and do all the time in face it is a fight to keep them in my brooder!
About 2 months ago I had a raccoon raid my flock and take it down to just 2 birds. They are all I have left and the reason why I am wondering if I...
I had a feeling that is what I had, but these are my first chickens, so I was going off just what I have read so I was hoping a second opinion would maybe change what I kinda already knew. Thanks for looking though! I love them all, and wish I could keep them but I guess it's now time to pick my...
I know the solid black one is a rooster, but I'm hopeful that my barred rocks at least has one hen in the bunch. However I am seriously thinking I have a yard full of boys. Any help you could give me would be great, I'm hoping for hens but expecting the verdict to be none.
I'm thinking...
Got some more pics to see if anyone can see more. I think I might have 4 Barred Rocks and then 2 that I am not sure of because they are not feathering out like the other 4 are. Any ideas?
They also have dark legs and feet if that helps, it wasn't wanting so show them off.
I'm sure these...
I had thought maybe Barred Rock or Dominique myself. Just so hard to be patient and wait for them to grow a little more. Hehe I'm one of those I want to know right now types.
Hadn't thought of Blue Orpington but it will be exciting to look them up and speculate further. Thanks!
I know my little ones are too young to know gender, but when we bought then from the feed store they didn't even know what kind they had. I was hoping they would be able to tell us that, but they just shrugged and said they were chickens. I felt like saying I knew at least that much.
Anyone...
