    Lemon Blues?

    I keep posting on here, and i really appreciate all your help. I'm here again, this time questioning my Lemon Blues. I ordered 2 Lemon Blue OEGBs, and they are 6 weeks old. I have another chick that is a Blue Birchen, and it already has silver on the neck. I think that these Lemon's should be...

    Red Pyle or Golden Neck OEGB?

    I ordered 2 Golden Neck OEGB chicks. 1 is a cockerel, and 1 is a pullet. The cockerel is really dark, with gold all over, kind of what i would expect for a Golden Neck. The pullet is mostly white, with just a bit of gold on the neck and head. I just wondered what you thought.... The Cockerel...

    Removing spurs.

    Yeah, if you do it, only nip the tips. I once tried cutting off maybe half of it, and that was a bad idea. It ended up hurting the rooster because there's blood that flows in it and i got too far up.

    That's only if you handle them. You can have tame chicks with a hen, if you are around them a lot and handle them.

    Early silkie sexing?

    Yes. Silkies are slow developing, that is why it's best to wait. The single comb is just a genetic fluke that happens a lot at hatcheries. You could try and sex silkies at a young age, and say they were females, because they didn't show any male traits, but then when they grow older, and say it...

    Rooster maybe??

    Yes, usually the sexing guarantee is 80-90%. Usually you hear most people just calling male birds roosters, but the correct terms are: Cockerel = Male bird under a year old Pullet = Female bird under a year old Rooster = Male bird over a year old Hen = Female bird over a year old

    Gender? ISA brown

    Yes, that can happen. I precisely remember a thread on here where they either got a chick from a hatchery or a feed store and it was colored just like a female RSL, but it had male feathering.

    Silver Blue OEGB?

    It is frustrating. I've ordered from Ideal twice before, and the only problem I've had was a sexing fluke once, which could happen anytime. I've never had them mix them up like that. But, I suppose a lot of those OEGB colors look the same when they are young, so maybe if they had an...
