Our Olive eggers are approx 19 weeks - they are showing very red combs and slight wattles. I had thought these were pulleys. We have never kept OE before, are these hens just showing signs of maturity or do we possibly have late to bloom Roos? No crowing yet !! I had been looking out for...

We bought “ameraucana” and “araucana” chicks ( they are plain old EEs ) but I’ve noticed a huge difference in size between the so called Ameraucana and Araucanas. We have these really big firey yellow “ameraucana” and then these little bitty “araucana” chicks, they are the same age - what breed...

These are my two frizzle chicks this year... the white one is about 5 weeks younger and a lovely little thing. Ginger biscuit is about 11 weeks old and is rather raggedy looking! She is a bit of a bully to the younger chicks and seems to be bottom of the pecking order herself. Does their...

The partridge is def a Roo ... sad because I love his fluffy feet. The grey Cochin bantam I’m unsure of... these guys are currently 4 weeks old. The dark standard cochin is 3 weeks old and I’m thinking pullet ?? Last but not least, our 9.5 week old silver laced Cochin bantam... we’ve been going...

I noticed that the tail feathers had a green glint to them when the light was shining just right and I’m seeing a difference in the comb compared to the others from the same hatching - is this little Easter egger (sold as an araucana) a roo ? The second (lighter colored) chick is much larger...

I’ve been trying to work out who has been picking on my little BCM roo... today I spotted th culprit and watched a little sparring match... is this little Cochin a he ?? I had thought pullet because my other Cochin bantams were showing far more comb and wattles way earlier than this little one...

Is this little one a pullet ? Approx 8 weeks, my first d’uccle so we are not sure what to expect!

We have 6 EE and 3 olive eggers approx 10 weeks old, this very golden looking one is quite possibly Roo.. any guesses ?

This little one is about 8-9 weeks now. I’m thinking pullet as the comb is far smaller and lighter and wattles are fairly new. My 2 week old Cochin bantam roos are alr day showing really red combs and wattles. Many thanks in advance - I’m wanting to get rid of any potential roosters asap as they...

Any guesses ? These guys are 3 weeks old.... I don’t have an experience with this breed but I am thinking 1 and 3 are maybe roos- they both have feathering on the feet, 2 and 4 do not. Combs on 1 and 3 are bright yellow, 2 and 4 are darker/Black ... I’d be happy with at least ONE pullet out of...

We have 18 babies all about 4 weeks old and 2 hens, approx a year old. In a few weeks the new chicks will be going outside and eventually will be living with our existing hens. How have you all managed to feed both in the same environment ? Our hens have a boat load of layer feed and their grit...

With so many chicks advertised falsely this year now I’m starting to look at a few and really wonder... these two were sold as a d’uccle (darker of the two) and a Cochin bantam... I know little about either breeds. Just shy of 3 weeks old... little d’uccle is looking as I expected but from...

Here is the one M.Houdan chick we have this year... is it a he or a she !? I’ll post pictures of the chick as this crazy head fluff develops over the coming weeks just for a laugh. Approx 3 weeks of age - purchased feb 26th. I’ve heard lots about how tame and lovely the MH Roos can be but sadly...

One of my BCM chicks has the dreaded webbed issue - not as bad as most examples that I have seen of others and the chick seems to walk just fine. Should I do something about this one or leave it ? This is a pet chicken for egg laying not to be bred at all. I don’t want to cause the chick any...

Our 2018 chicks! Pic one - sold as ameraucanas - EE chicks for sure Pic two - sold are araucanas - EE chicks too ! Pic three - frizzle, Cochin and d’uccle chicks Pic five- black copper Marans Pic six - the mottled houdan chick Pick seven - BCM We also have olive eggers and a cuckoo maran babe !

The little guys with lighter faces photos 1-4 were sold as “ameraucanas”... I’m no chicken expert and have only owned silkies so this year we picked up a few different breeds to add birds that would lay colored eggs. Could believe it when I saw “araucanas” advertised and took 3 chicks without...

Any guesses - approx 4 weeks old ... the only cuckoo that I have, the rest of my Marans are BC and are only 2 weeks old. This little chick is far flightier than my other 17 chicks and squawks up a storm when picked up... Many thanks in advance !

Any guesses he or she ? My cuckoo Marans at approx 3.5weeks
