Hi!
I have 5 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten/ Splash chicks that are maybe 4 and 6 weeks old. I think I have just one cockerel by the colors, but I don’t know. Can anyone tell me what I have please?
Thanks all for letting me know. They were sold to me as true amers so I guess that's disappointing. But I'm glad to hear that I've only got the one cockerel.
Hi, would appreciate help determine the gender of one bird and confirmation of the color.
does this look like a silver Ameraucana cockerel?
This following photo is what I think is also a silver cockerel, but that I'm sure is male. If they are both silvers, and they are both cockerels, why...
Thanks for your input everyone I really appreciate it. I wish I could keep one as they're really friendly. Anyone want one? I'm in Virginia near Richmond.
I've just asked about a few larger birds and now I'm not certain about a few birds I bought at a poultry swap. I don't know their ages. Are these really pullets. I'm so confused about wyandottes. Thanks
I've got three hatchery Black Dorkings and I'm hoping that at least one of them is female. The wattles on this one are much smaller than on the other two. The longer tail feathers are an indication, I think, but all three have them to some degree. They are 12 weeks old. Thanks so much
Bird 1...
Hi all,
I've got a couple 12 week old hatchery Silver Laced Wyandottes that I think are probably cockerels. I gave one that looked similar away last week and the new owner thinks it might be a pullet. This is making me wonder about the two I have left. I'm thinking the tail on the first bird...
Yes, the black colored cockerels are the ones I'm thinking of crossing with the dark grey females. I guess I might as well go ahead and try just to see what happens, as I'm probably not going to be able to find any grey cockerels.
I posted these in the Dorking thread, but they weren't very good. It's very hot right now so they are all under a bush and I can't get a better one. They do have five toes. One of the black dorkings has a rose comb, the others single.
