I have 3, 9 week old Buff orps and their combs aren't that pink. I'm gonna say Roo, sorry.

Go to google images, I just did and there are tons of pictures of full grown and chicks.

Thanks!! I've been wanting to get those.

Who did you order them from?

Where are you located? I'm in the desert too but there was a guy in the st. George, it Craig's list selling really nice coops for a good price. Make sure you put wire on the floor of the coop cause foxes will dig under and so will the mice. Coops can get pricey.

when are these eggs due to hatch?

Im interested in your French Black Marans and the Blue EE. Is it $10/6 eggs?

Thats funny! They really like you! Ive been bringing mine out for about 4 weeks now and they didn't start venturing off on there own till after the 2nd week. I have 4 EE out of my 12. When I first started bringing them out I would leave a box for them to go hide in if they felt uneasy, I would...

I would use 1/4'' or 1/2'' hardware mesh, instead of chicken wire. You can buy it on amazon for the best price. Snakes and mice can get through chicken wire. Mice will love your food and snakes will love your young hens. Good luck to ya.

Aren't those symptoms for Mareks Disease? I'm not sure but maybe you could look into that...

My friend just did this successfully, she spent 2 weeks introducing them. Meaning they were around each other but couldn't actually have physical contact with each other. They were in the same area she just fenced the new ones off. Hope this helps.

I would look for lice or mites. Pick up there feathers and look to see if you see tiny bugs running around. You could also put that DE on her to see if that helps. Best of luck to you. Pretty chicken :)

I bought 12 from the local farm store. They were all supposed to be hens but I ended up with 1 rooster. He's quiet and my most friendly. He also has grown slower than the other 2 barred rock hens. I could tell he was a rooster when he was 6 weeks.

Here are some newer photos of my fella. The weird thing is that hes smaller than all the other girls. Aren't roosters supposed to be bigger? They are all 7 weeks. These are my first chickens... Below are my two girls Big Mama ( shes really heavy)and No Name yet for the other, any ideas?

Thanks, Im thinking that it is for sure a roo and now I have another one that I'm watching. Ugh! I was going for pullets.

THANKS FOR ALL THE WARM WELL-COMINGS! After watching it for a few days the redness has gone down. I'm hoping for a pullet.

Here are a few more pictures, you can compare 2 that are the same age. let me know what you think.

I'm very new to chicks, i bought these aracaunas from IFA they are 4 weeks old they will be 5 weeks on Monday. This one has red specks on its comb, I actually thought it was bleeding, but its not. The 2 other EE's have nothing on there comb its just the color of their beak. Let me know what...
