Your black one looks like a black sex link. I just recently found out that's what one of mine are after a month of not knowing. If it is, then it's a pullet.
Thank you! I've been so worried it was a cockerel because it's a bit bigger than the rest of my chicks. She was the only one of her kind in the bin so I felt bad for her. Lol. I was only suppose to get 8 chicks and she was my 9th.
I'm aware that this is a barred rock, but I'm a little worried she might be a he. It's about 4 weeks old now and a bit lighter than the other one it's age.
The bands on the wings were put onto pullets. All of the chicks I bought have them. I don't like them, but I don't wanna further hurt them by trying to pull them out. The legs aren't really green, but a dark grayish brown? The chick is a little bigger than rest, but I think it may be just a tad...
I have a couple brown leghorns, but I didn't get them until they were 4 months old so I didn't know what they looked like as chicks. If it is a leghorn, I know their combs come in quicker than other breeds.
I live in southern Oklahoma, it was 113 degrees here yesterday and I lost all 4 of my 2 year old leghorn hens It is heartbreaking. I now have one lonely rooster.
Thank you guys! I am upset with my husband, but I will forgive him. I just need to be upset for a little bit. I just found my poor hens last night so this is still fresh. Thank you for you're advice, its very much appreciated. I feel now like I just need to suck it up with this heat and take...
I hope I'm putting this in the right thread. Its been a sad week for me. We live in southern Oklahoma and have been in a terrible heatwave (113 just yesterday). I had a flock of 4 hens and one rooster. My husband had been taking care of them until it gets cooler outside because I am 4 months...
