    What does this one look like now? Curious how she/he is turning out.

    CornishX chick shortage

    I see them available mid-June at both Cackle and Hoover. I haven't raised them before but I imagine the pandemic has created demand.

    Sexing Buff Orpingtons

    Looks just like mine which we are 99% sure is a Cockerel. See how the tail feathers are starting to curl?

    Facing off - cockerels?

    Thank you! Lots to think about :-) All of them have been good to me so far, and with the kids. The White Giant and the Buff Orpington like to chest bump and the BO also chest bumps with the white wyandotte. The SLW stays out of it and seems the most stand-offish. Interesting you say Stripey is...

    Facing off - cockerels?

    Dotty the SLW cockerel Sunny the white Wyandotte These two have had crazy wattle growth in the past couple days. Stripey - slw pullet - notice the poor lacing. Do you recall when yours started getting the nicely laced feathers? Harry Potter - I fear this one seals his fate. I read...

    Facing off - cockerels?

    Maybe! Mine were hatched by some First graders at a local school. I seem to have won the Cockerel prize with that bunch :D - if this one is, that would be 5/6! I have 2 SLW, 1 definite cockerel 1 presumed pullet 1 white wyandotte, cockerel 1 light brahma ? 1 buff orp cockerel 1 Jersey giant...

    Facing off - cockerels?

    Any experience with McMurray's light brahma? I read they are slower to develop. I'd love for this one to be a pullet, very skiddish chicken. @aart Thanks for the reminder! Chicken-speak is a whole new world all by itself!

    Facing off - cockerels?

    Greenfeathers - that's perfect! Thank you :) I would say there's 0 chance they are hens based on your pictures. Appreciate you taking the time to photograph them!

    Facing off - cockerels?

    That would be great! Since they were hatched at a school we've had to guess breed and gender. They definitely seem riled up today.

    Facing off - cockerels?

    I'm fairly sure I know the answer but since it's my first time with chickens thought I'd ask. I keep holding out hope that these two could be hens, but.... Both are 7.5weeks, from McMurray eggs. Buff Orpington and Jersey Giant facing off while the white wyandotte looks on. Any chance these are...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte sexing

    I see what you mean! Your fella has quite a comb. Here's the best I have of stripeys comb.

    Silver Laced Wyandotte sexing

    That's what we've been thinking! Dotty has had some red to the comb since about 2 weeks. Unfortunately, stripey had a single comb so harder to compare. Interesting! Were they from McMurray by chance? The lacing is just not defined well at all which makes it harder to compare to pictures of...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte sexing

    I am questioning my two Silver Laced Wyandottes. They were hatched from Murray McMurray eggs if that helps. I have them as part of a mixed flock and I *thought* one was a hen and one was a roo, but now they seem to have the same coloring and I thought they were suppose to look more different...

    what breed of rooster

    Are there feathers on his legs? Hard to tell in picture. do you have a shot that includes his head?

    8 week old Columbian Wyandottes (male of female)?

    I voted roo, but I'll say I'm a first time chicken keeper so take it with a lot of salt ;-) I think when you can see two of the same breed side by side it's easier to determine. Great pictures! Bet they'd make pretty babies ;-)

    2 month of buff orpington

    This is our Buff Orp a couple weeks younger, do you have a picture of yours from 6/7 weeks? I am worried about ours and have had different guesses but Blondie's comb/waddle is no where as big. I've also read the boys will have darker feathers on their wings. Did the comb/waddles grow a lot in...

    Breed help - 6 weeks old

    I was just going to ask if the leghorn have rose combs sometimes. :) Then again, I have a SLW with a single comb, so I guess anything can happen! Thank you! I'll go look at the white wyandotte. He does look similar in comb/body shape to the SLW.
