I checked the coop at 8 pm when I closed it up and there were none, then the next day I opened it up to check and there were 5! I only have 4 chickens?????
Baby - Americana 11 weeks
Dirty Bird - Speckled Sussex 12 weeks (sorry so blurry) - She is the top of the pecking order for sure.
Red - Rhode Island Red 12 weeks
Shanikwa - Golden Laced Wyndotte 12 weeks
What do you think? Are there any roosters in my flock? Thanks :)
They are very warm, dry and loved. Quickly getting big too! Now are 5 weeks old. I am getting nervous that Dirty Bird, our Speckled Sussex is a roo...she? is the most aggressive, hopefully that is just a pecking order kind of thing. I got them from Jax in Loveland.
Dirty Bird 4 weeks - Left...
PS. I have an Americana, Speckled Sussex, Golden Laced Wyandotte, and a Rhode Island Red.
So far they are pretty cute, we built a pretty large brooder for them so they have lots of room to run and flap their wings.
Any information I should know about these breeds?
