I wish we were closer--- I'm all the way in East Texas. Are you a member of CoT on Facebook? Someone on there would take her, I'm sure!

My husband and I have stopped buying from TSC for this very reason. Two years ago, we bought "black sex links" and got a Blue Andalusian (who we loved, but still - totally wrong). The next year, we got the featured breed - mottled javas -- and over half of them ended up being Anconas. That's on...

I feel like pic #2 could be a barred rock cockerel? His feathering is different from #3, which looks like a BSL boy.

Agreed. I thought the same thing about #3.

Wyandotte7 is right one with the breeds. That production red should lay light brown eggs.

I would say pullet if I had to choose, based on stance and that very first picture.

You're right about the bearded/non-bearded, which has nothing to do with hen vs. roo. Just looking at these pics, it looks like the one on the left MIGHT be a roo -- but it's much easier to go off of temperament and the way they carry themselves. Roos will walk standing more upright than hens...

We have talked about it often but I don't think my husband ever got around to worming them. Can we give both Corid and dewormer to everyone just in case?

We have a flock of 16 hens and 2 roosters who are all either 1 or 2 years old, never had any illnesses. Last week, we found one hen in our barns tack room (their coop), just standing still with her eyes closed. We took her inside, gave her medicated feed, electrolytes and probiotic. She made it...

I would say white created is a roo and red is a pullet, but it's hard to tell.

Yay!! We were hoping for silkies. :) Those DO have five toes. The #2 type have four.

DH surprised me with some TSC assorted bantams on Thursday. We have five like Chick #1, three like Chick #2 and then an all-black one(not pictured) that looks just like Chick #1. It's hard to see, but all of them have feathered feet. Chick #2 birds are smaller than the Chick #1 birds, and a...

Just based on temperament (and maybe comb size), we definitely feel like the two black ones are roosters -- and Spot seems very much like a pullet. Blondie (the all white bird) is much more ambiguous... I was hoping someone here would know for sure! haha! I'm impatient and it's so hard to wait...

Darn... I added pics and they're not showing up! The chicks were born Nov 10, so they're about 3 months old. Will add pics ASAP!

We let a broody hen hatch some babies and now we are wondering who their parents are from our small flock. They all hatched from brown eggs so hen choices are: red sex-link, black sex-link and one mottled java/Ancona mix. We have two roosters - a red sex-link and an Ancona, both of which are...

We've now had four or five different breeds and red sex links are my favorite, hands-down. They are so sweet and good-natured, love to be cuddled and petted and don't mind small little boys who are a little less than gentle. They lay a large brown egg almost every day, all year long.

Rehomed one and three more have matured and are obviously roos. We live in East Texas but can meet near Shreveport if anyone in North Louisiana is interested. They're almost 6 months old, not human aggressive at all. Didn't get a good pic of the third one, but I can try again if...

We have two mottled java cockerels (nicknamed Bert & Ernie) that need good homes. They hatched in late Feb so are approx. 19 wks old. Neither is aggressive, we just got way too many roosters out of this batch. They are hatchery strain but seem to have good body type and temperament. Willing to...

DH has now tried three clutches.... has lots of eggs make it to lockdown day, and then we lose them all. :( We started some on 6/9 and all were gone around day 19, we think. He candled on day 23 and they had barely changed at all from when he put them in the hatcher. Same thing with another...

Would anyone in the Shreveport area be interested in a Mottled Java cockerel? We have two we need to rehome due to too many roos. Both born late February - neither is aggressive.
