I got a lavender Ameraucana/EE 10 week old roo yesterday! He is super cute and has the fluffiest muff. I'll have to get better pictures with my camera tonight. So excited!
Makes sense! She agrees that he actually does look like a dark Brahma roo. That was my first guess from the beginning, but of course the gender was in question. I actually had a turkey tom that was later maturing than my others. The day after I swore up and down he was actually a she, he showed...
Well they seem to have really well-defined wattles, too, which he/she doesn't have. At what age do they develop more and become more obvious? I'm new to chickens(only raised turkeys) so I'm not sure whenever their comb and wattles "mature."
Okay, I had my suspicions that she was actually a he, but my friend said "her" comb is insubstantial. I will let her know what y'all think! Would that be why all the Leghorns were beating up on him/her?
ETA: Though, at 5 months old, wouldn't he/she have a more developed comb if he was a roo?
Yeah, she looks nothing remotely like a Brahma hen. What do you think she could be? Wyandottes don't have fuzzy feet, although she does look a bit like them.
This is a friend's chicken. She got her as part of a mystery batch from McMurray. As quoting my friend, she is "is almost 5 months old and she is already 10lbs. She's already as big as my 1.5 yr old speckled sussex roo" She originally thought she was a Faverolle but is now perplexed.
I'm...
Another couple pictures of little Willow :) She's about 2-3 weeks old now. She's currently bunking with my Silkie Foxy as the feed store didn't have any chicks. :/ I'll have to order some online.
Here's my little EE, Willow. I started out with 5 chicks and I'm suddenly down to 2. ): The three just disappeared without any signs of predators breaking in(I think they were stolen.) So all I have left are Willow and my Silkie Foxy. Going to the feed store to pick up some friends for the...
Thanks guys! I'm in the middle of planning a run to add to their coop. I'd like to give them some space to roam outside the coop while they're not free ranging.
Hello! I live in coastal Texas and just got 5 chickies to raise. I've wanted to raise chickens for years, but never had a place to keep them. Well recently, someone at my stables built a chicken coop and said I could keep some there! So I of course ran to the feed store and grabbed some as soon...
