I have some 6 week old chicks that are questionable in their gender. They are half buff brahma, 1/4 orphington and 1/8 jersey giant and 1/8 easter egger. One has white legs and is bigger than its sibling. One has yellow legs. I threw in a pick of their parents.
Do I have an olive egger? I have two hens I raised half some kind of easter egger half new jersey giant. They both started laying. I can tell their eggs apart. My gray hen lays the lighter green.
My black hen lays the slightly darker green.
This is my year old buckeye. This pic is from this last spring.
This is a picture of her this morning. Now she is molting. But she grew spurs, her tail feathers are curling and her comb changed.
Here is a pic I found on the internet of a hen and cock buckeye.
Okay I had a broody hen and she sat on a clutch for 3 weeks. One of other chickens ate most of the eggs when one was stepped on. I have one egg left. Its a jersey giant/ easter hybrid. When i went to feed the chikens the broody came out and the egg was zipped. She ate and went back to her egg...
On old willets path in Hauppauge there is a feed supply store. In the same parking lot as Roadway Tires. They have bedding, feed, scratch, and cracked corn in bulk.
I believe it depends on the breed and development of the hen. I also got 3 day old chicks on June 15. One started laying last week, one of my two barred Plymouth Rocks. However, the other seven are not acting like they are ready( Got a brown leghorn, Delaware, Buckeye, Buff Orphington, Cornish...
Update! Sandora is def at hen. At 19 weeks she laid two eggs in one day. Both were a bit odd. One had no yolk and the other, well she did not know I suppose what happened. Because she laid on her roost, it got smashed. woops.
5 days later she laid another egg in her nesting box. Beautiful...
This is Sandora, she is very talkative, but no crowing. Her waddle just showed up today. No crowing. I have a roo in the flock. No laying yet, this is my first flock of chickens.
This is Sandora at 8 weeks.
This is her sister coal at 4 months, the only reason why I am wondering if Sandora...
I am trying to figure out this is a roo. I got the rainbow pullet pack from meyer hatchery. I have jersey giant but am not sure this is a hen. My flock is 15 weeks. The giant attempted to crow only one morning. I can't have a roo where I am. Thinking of trying the no crow collar. I love this bird.
My Jersey Giant is the most friendliest. Also so is my Buff and Buckeye. My Colombian Wyandotte is the most skittish along with my buff brahma. I have 2 barred rock who were really friendly in their inside home, but since being outside they want nothing to do with me, Unless i give them treats.
