The barred rock is also 12 weeks. Got from a farm, so probably mixed. I thought she’s very white too but doesn’t really have any other roo characteristics to me
These babies are almost 4 weeks old and I'm trying to confirm what kind of chickens I have. I ordered 6 Easter Eggers and 8 assorted brown layers. I know which ones are the Easter Eggers. The others I need help with. I think the red ones are rhode island reds? The black with white spots are...
I took the eggs and marked them. I'm waiting for her to go back to her spot. I can't leave her up there though. If I leave her there, I can't get eggs that the others lay without her getting mean. How do I move her properly? Is it normal for her to bury the eggs and go sit somewhere else?
And gave her fertile eggs. She covered the eggs with bedding and has been running around her area. I assume she is just checking things out, but how long should it take her to sit on the eggs? I took the eggs she has been sitting on because they aren't fertile
I'm fairly new to raising chickens. Two of my buff orpingtons have gone broody after only a month of laying. I am having fertile eggs shipped to me this week and I want to let the hens sit on them. I have a separate area for them, secluded from the other hens. Should I just put the eggs in with...

Here's some better pictures of their feathers. They're 2 weeks 1 day old. What do you mean by a derivation? A mixed breed? I ordered them from a hatchery so I figured they would be a specific breed. Not that it matters, I'm just curious. Is that still too early to tell though?

Can yall help me figure out what breeds these are? I think I've got 3 australorps, 2 barred rocks and I'm not positive about the others. I ordered "assorted brown layers".
