    Completely Stumped on what breed!

    I was thinking an Icelandic - but SFH works, too! :)

    New to integrating new chicks with my hens

    Hi there! I would integrate the 4 & 8 week chicks together first and let them grow until they are approximately the same size as your yearlings. That would take them to almost point of lay. I suggest this for 2 reasons. First, chicks need higher protein levels in their feed than your hens...

    That's looking roo-ish to me. But take a bit more time...the EE's are tough.

    To me that blue looks a lot like my blue Ameraucana. It also has slate coloured legs with is an Ameraucana trait. Orpingtons have white legs. With the Ameraucana's or EE's, a single row of peas is a pullet, while 3 rows is a cockerel. They take longer to be sure. If you can post a better...

    The pullet's comb will also get red as they get closer to lay...in fact, that's one of the characteristics of a pullet ready to lay a first egg. However, as chicks - a pullet's comb should stay pale..yellowish?...not red/pink. The young roosters will have combs that go red a LOT faster. Then...

    #3 and #4 look like roos to me - all the others look like pullets.

    I'm leaning towards tenley being a roo - and nugget a pullet. Tenley's comb has 3 rows and is pinker. Nugget has one row, is narrower and isn't as pink..

    My experience with the Marans breed is that the pullets feather out faster...so by 2 weeks, the ones without tail feathers and lots of down still - I would lean towards roos. Also, the boys in this breed rapidly develop their comb. Pronounced comb is going to mean roo. Best of luck with your...

    Nice looking chick! Is it an Ancona or Exchequer leghorn? Those breeds develop more comb even as hens than others - so, if that is the breed, I might lean towards it being a hen. If it's a mottled orpington...then with that comb, I would say roo...

    I'm thinking a cockerel due to the amount of comb - but it's early days yet...if that comb starts getting pink - then it's a roo, imo.

    5 Week Old Black Copper Marans Pullet/Cockerel?

    At 9 weeks, I'm leaning towards a pullet - but keep an eye out for saddle feathers, which should start to develop in another few weeks. The BCM roos that I have had were really obviously roosters with comb and wattle development obvious early.

    Wheaten marans cockerel?

    Looks like a cute little cockerel. Beside the comb development, I believe the darker feathers say boy in the wheatens, too...but I might be mistaken on that.

    Roos or Pullets

    I have to agree with the others - the grey for sure is a pullet and the brown is the question mark. However, I would have thought that at 15 weeks, saddle and hackle feathers would start to be obvious...and I'm not seeing any that scream out. So I'm leaning towards pullet, but need a few...

    Is it necessary to close wood coop door at night if attached to run?

    I like to think we have a pretty secure run - 1/2 inch hardware cloth all over and buried. I keep both food and water in the coop - mainly for ease of delivery and because I have power in the coop to keep a heated waterer. In the summer - I get lazy and don't close the coop door. In the...
