    Please help me sex my Plymouth Rocks

    Thank you Shelleyd2008 and speckled hen. I do hope you are right and they do fool me! I have been sure of the LS all along until the last few days. Even as a little chick she definitely looked different from the other 2. You are right, these chickens are from good breeding stock. I...

    Please help me sex my Plymouth Rocks

    Thank you all once again! It appears that the consensus for the Light Sussex and the last PR is 50/50! I agree Speckled Hen, the colouring of the PR is not always a good judge. I also have 2 PR hens with light colouring but are definitely laying! I fear that it may just be a wait and see as...

    Thank you everyone! I had suspected that the lighter colour ones were all cockerals and the darker ones pullets so am not so surprised there but the last one I was sure was a pullet!

    Mixed or pure breed?

    Hi everyone. I am new to chickens and have been researching online but need to make a final decision tomorrow as to what breed/s I want. I am thinking that I will probably get 5 hens and a rooster. My plan is to start with laying chickens for eggs and then at a later stage I would like to...
  7. Aussie Roast

    Hello from South Australia! I am new to the chicken world!

    We have finally done it! After living on our property for 5 years we have finally built a chicken coop! The run is yet to be done but it's on it's way. I'm off to see a hobby breeder tomorrow to look at all the chickens he breeds and to choose. I'm tossing up between the Light Sussex and the...
