    EEs pulleys or cockerel?

    Both darker chicks are from a hatchery and are supposed to be EEs. They are 6 weeks. My fingers are crossed that they are pulleys but I suspect at least the black one is a roo.

    Jubilee Orpington 3 1/2 months old

    Doesn't look at all like my 2 yr old Jubilee Orpington. How about a Golden Cuckoo Marans female?

    Wow, thanks to all of you! Swedish Flower Hen wasn't on my radar. She is a beauty.

    Can you ID this pullet?

    This 9 week old pullet was from a bin at our hatchery. I’ve figured out the breed of the other 4 but she remains a mystery.

    ID help

    I agree the white one is a Cochin, but what about the other one in that picture? And, I believe the one in the second picture is a relative of EE, something called a Green Queen.

    2 year old hens won't lay... any ideas?

    I have 5 "rare breeds" including Golden Cuckoo Marans, Blue Splash Marans, Barnvelder, Cream Legbar, and Jubilee Orpington.

    Meyer Hatchery in Polk, OH had an event that included a bin of exotics that they were selling for a very low price. They were all female, but not IDed for us. I'd love to know what the pullet in the top pix is...she has yellow rings around her eyes. Also, the two in the bottom pix. I suspect...

    Pullets not laying at 23 weeks

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I haven't seen anyone squat yet, so I am expecting to wait a while. A couple have fairly red combs but most don't. I especially love to hear that you have a "very nice rooster" since this is my first and I have heard many horror stories! So far he is nice...
