    Yep, here's another asking "Do i have roos or hens?"

    I'm pretty sure, at LEAST one is a roo, because i heard a crow. I just dont remember which one. I know these have EE, in them, other than that, i don't know what. They SHOULD be of the age to be laying.......IF they're hens. They were born Oct (ish). Any suggestions, on how ro tell?

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    Here is my Olive egger, heir apparent, (his father had an untimely demise-coyote, most likely). He's an EE (light green) x BCM cross. The picture of chicks are BCM X EE (light grey) and either BCM x barred rock or black star.

    Bald spots on chickens backs

    Well, this WASN'T the way I wanted to solve my featherless backs, but I lost my Roo and a hen (coyote?). I kinda liked the guy, despite featherless backs, he was a good protector of the girls and NEVER EVER threatened us. RIP Maury

    Black Copper Maran Pullet or Roo

    I have to amend my assessment of who is who-Edger, now has "tufts", like his mama an EE. SO...Edger is an EE X BCM (should be an oliver egger roo), and "Olive," is a black star x BCM). I'm glad Edger is a roo now, since my post, I lost my BCM Roo and a black star hen (coyote?) So, Edger is the...

    Comment by 'Neveralone' in article 'My little mixed flock'

    Your EE looks exactly like mine. Her name is Annabelle, she's a flighty thing, but is much better after I got rid of my old roo, and got my new one, a Marans. I have my first "olive egger" pullet-that's 5weeks old. Waiting to see the color, she'll lay. What a lovely roo you have!

    No. She was black with a little white on her neck & she still has white tips on a couple of her wings.

    Bald spots on chickens backs

    Trimming claws, then? My girls aren't sliced, just some of them are bare backed.

    Bald spots on chickens backs

    I was going to ask this same thing. I don't want to replace my roo (he's a BCM,nice to his girls, and nice to be around). Can I trim his spurs? He really doesn't appear rough with the girls when breeding, but he is kind of a big guy. My barred rocks aren't missing feathers but my black stars are.

    Green Egg Envy: Our attempts at breeding our own olive eggers!

    Kind of following this thread. I have an EE that lays light green eggs. After my hand raised roo (Wyandotte) got aggressive and went bye bye, I decided to get a Black Copper Marans and see how olive egger I can get. I've never been much into chickens, but having grandkids come over, I wanted to...

    Adding a new roo, tips?

    Well, just to give an update. Went to load him into carrier and before I shut the door, he shot past me. REALLY??!! Now this little bugger is loose, luckily the girls wanted nothing to do with him and would just chase him off, but didn't pursue him. After all day, on & off,attempting to slowly...

    Adding a new roo, tips?

    Thanks for your reply. Ok. That settles it. He's going back. He HAS been separated from the others. Hasn't been in my main coop.

    Adding a new roo, tips?

    Well, I placed my new roo in a tractor coop, just so he knows where "home" is and noticed he's "rattling" at times when he breathes UGH! (He seems to act fine, not lethargic and was pecking at the food.) Contacted the lady and asked if any of her birds had any respiratory issues. Well, she...

    Adding a new roo, tips?

    Perfect timing. I had the EXACT same issue. As a side note, my girls free range, should my new roo be kept in the coop for a few days, so he understands "home?"

    A Wyandotte roo?

    To me (and I'm only a few more weeks ahead of you) that looks like one of my barred rocks, best guess , is a cockrell,the comb looks a little pronounced . Does the comb look like the rest of the chicks, you have?

    A Wyandotte roo?

    He's turning into a pretty nice roo. Respectful of me, a bit skittish, but I if I can catch him, he's pretty calm. Though his beginning "crows" are pathetic! LOL As long as he's nice to me and his girls, he'll avoid the pot.

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    Just a thought, look into the heavy shavings method. It's basically a thick layer of shavings and you probably won't have to really clean it out until spring. We have cold winters in NE WA too.
