    Are These Barred Rocks Purebred?

    The hens will have darker legs and the roos brighter. That's 1 way to tell them apart. Another way being the roos have an extra barring gene so they'll have more white feathering.

    Speckled Sussex... Is it still a pullet?

    Beautiful looks pullet to me. I had 2, lost 1 to a hawk recently, they were way different in color even size being the same age.

    Broody question

    I can't! I counted days from when she first started sitting. That would be a June 23 hatch day. She didn't stay on them though should I count from when she hasn't left them?

    Broody question

    First experience with a broody here. I have a hen who has been off and on sitting for about 2 weeks. The last 4 days she hasn't left her eggs. I Jay checked 2 eggs. 1 was 3/4 the way while the other I could still see a yolk and lots of white area. I only checked 2 bc I didn't want to bother...

    Bantam I.D. help

    They came from Hoover's. Anyone heard of that hatchery having "happy accidents" lol I don't care if they're mixed I just hate the waiting game for mystery chicks to feather out. I hope one day my white silkie and mille fleur duccle have some chicks that seems like it'd be a pretty bird. Anyone...

    Bantam I.D. help

    I don't have a pic but the chick did have a lot of fuzz on it's feet and legs way more than other feather footed chicks. It was really light colored it was very close to the color of my white polish I got at the same time.

    Bantam I.D. help

    It's a hoover hatchery bird. I ordered online through tractor supply. Should I have gotten a mixed bird from a bantam assortment?

    I really thought this was a buff cochin bc the feather feet and yellowish/ tan color it started with.

    Sick 3 week old bantam

    Sick 3 week old bantam

    I don't keep the light on them during the day. We had temps in the 90s with heat index over 100 I was afraid they would be way too hot. I checked again, I made tbd chick drink again then it walked away pretty good. I'm worried it was something contagious after already losing the 1 chick being...

    Cockerel questions...

    I'm sorry I forgot to add I was asking about my RIR in those pictures. I did some reading on the barred rocks and the difference in color for sexing. I have 3 out of 4 roos in my barred rocks ;(

    Cockerel questions...

    Here's a couple pix. The 1 is very much a cockerel then one clearly a pullet. They're a few in between I'm not sure. The first pic is the cockerel and one in unsure about side by side for comparison. 2nd another I'm not sure. 3rd is what I think is pullet.

    Cockerel questions...

    I was afraid of that and he's my only 1. The only aggression I've seen so far is when they're free ranging a few of them will not really fight, but have a stand off/ staring competition with feathers all puffed out. Am i right to assume the fights will get worse they're about 9 weeks old...
