Thanks. I knew the grey one is a roo for sure. It’s also been showing behaviours sins a couple weeks old. So lovely looking though. It’s the white one (leg horn, ee mix?) it started with a very red comb early. The brown one had Some longer tail feathers that made me wonder. Being that they are...
So here are two updated photos. The originals were at six weeks and not very good at showing most of the birds. (They moved too fast). Now at 15 weeks, I’m wondering if the thoughts on sex are the same. At the time,the white one was thought to be a roo, and the brown one a hen. I should mention...
We were quite successful with the homemade incubator this year (9/12 even with a power failure). They were a barnyard mix that were all green, blue or olive eggs, however I know for sure that there were also barred rocks there. So I’m questioning gender on a couple of these and also wondering...
So at about 20 weeks, this is what they turned out to look like. I was right about the 2 roos and a hen so I have rehomed the roos. And now I am patiently awaiting an egg from the pullet to see the colour. Any thoughts on breed(s) now. I know def ee in there but I also noticed that she is...
Yes I think this is what they are. Thanks. My question is could they be mixed with an EE? They all hatched from a green egg in my incubator. Also is there a large size difference in hens and roos? Two are noticably larger than the third and the smaller one seems more timid, so I'm guessing two...
I'm looking for some advice on my EEs and it was suggested I come here. I was given 3 fertile green eggs (and one silver sebright who will also show up in the pics) and told they were from an EE pair. When asking about the colouring that they would be, no one seemed to recognize the colouring...
Thanks, I'll go to that thread. Perhaps a cross? They hatched in my incubator from green eggs. I'll be posting more pics and asking. Not worried if they're not EEs, they were fertile eggs that were given to me so just curious.

Can anyone tell me what colouring these ee's will be (I know what the sebright will look like) Also can you tell by these 4 week combs, I thindk # 1 is a girl. And I guess 2 and 3 are boys. 2 and 3 are also noticably larger than...
I have a silver sebright, 4 weeks old that we hatched. When can you tell signs of roo/hen and what would be helpful to show in the pics. One habit I have noticed with this bird is that it likes to stand with its wings hanging down. I know nothing about these birds, I was given some fertile...
How about these ee combs? They are 4 weeks, (the other little dude/dudette they are with is a silver sebright). I am also curious what their final colouring will be?

When I went out to check on my hens this morning, I noticed that a couple of them sound mucousy and another on was sneezing. I also noticed that they are standing around sleeping more than normal. About a week ago they all stopped suddenly laying, which I put down to time of year, but now that...
