Just adding an update incase anyone stumbles upon this thread like I did. True North Farm sold their parent breeding flocks for Mistral Gris to Tevah Acres in Cherryville, BC. I hatched and raised my own this year, did the 12 hour on/off with 17-18% crumble after they were done their chick...

Alright here's some recent pictures, they are 8 weeks old this week. Barnevelder #1 & #2 still look the same with no changes to their combs or feathering. Barnevelder #1: Barnevelder #3 (dark) and #4 (light) : Barnevelder #4 with Light Sussex: Barnevelder #5: aaand finally the LS:

Ah okay thank you so much I didn't consider the feather colouring but that's good to know. I'd be more than thrilled to have bonus pullets though the boys will be pretty so I can't say I'd mind having a couple as well

That’s very fair I know i’ve been surprised by them before 😂 though with this one I thought the development of red wattles at this age was a sign of a cockerel?

For sure! If it helps here's a pic of one that I'm certain is male from the same brood.

Yay great thank you both 😁

Well it's that time of year again, I hatched some breeds I'm less familiar with so I wanted to get some second opinions! Thanks in advance! Light Sussex: Barnevelder #1: Barnevelder #2: Barnevelder #3: CCL Cross?:

I recently hatched a mix of eggs from a local breeder and this chick has me a little confused, the known breeds and crosses are: F2 Legbar x Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock F1 Legbar x SP Rock cross rooster There are other chicks with very clear headspots that I know are roosters due to the...

Awesome thanks everyone!!

Hi all, I was looking for some second opinions since it's always been super helpful in the past, this group was hatched on April 26 roughly and all but one are Ameraucana x Barred Rock so theoretically they should be easy to sex but I still have my doubts 😅 their dad was a late bloomer which...

Interesting that's very good to know, thank you for sharing!

Any updates on what they look like now? I recently hatched a similar sex link and finding the head dot on the blues is pretty difficult (or hopefully all hens 😅)

Thanks everyone for your responses! Seems like the general consensus is 6,7,9,10 are roos and looks like I'll have to wait longer for 2, it's still the smallest of the bunch. Now comes the fun part of deciding who to keep and who goes to live in a bachelor pen. :P

That's fair, honestly that's just what the breeder/farmer called them and he used Ameraucana, Marans, and Brabanter roos over various hens so I guess barnyard mix/potential olive eggers would be more accurate. :) Thank you!

Hi everyone, hoping to get some opinions on the bunch of roughly 10-12 week olds I picked up a couple weeks ago. Fairly certain I got a 50/50 split but I know with this mix it's a guessing game, so let's have some fun :) #1: #2: #3: #4: #5: (The black one) #6: #7: #8: (the...

Sorry is avian becan a typo? And we’ve been having higher than average temperatures this year around 20-25 degrees Celsius. Damn, a heart issue was what I was dreading but kind of figured. He is on layer pellets though I’ve just been reading about that recently as well and had no idea, I feel...

Update: He’s still breathing heavy while roosting tonight :(

Hi all! Just as a bit of context I’ve noticed my big 4 year old EE rooster having an odd sounding crow for a while now (a big inhale at the end) but with no other issues I didn’t think anything of it, then yesterday while he was being handled to get treated for some lice which I’ve done a couple...

Looks like a roo to me
