    What breed or mix is this?!

    Can I bother to ask one more question? Cruella is 4.5 months but hasn't started growing or trying to mount the hens. Also, I don't see any spurs to speak of. When should all of this start to develop? Thanks in advance!

    What breed or mix is this?!

    Thanks! His looks have certainly grown on us. For the longest time he looked like this scraggly little mangy thing and we thought the gold tint was perhaps where he was sleeping on a low roost bar and was being "decorated" by those sleeping above him. Now that he is filling out, the golden...

    What breed or mix is this?!

    A follow-up question... since Cruella is a roo, if we want a roo for breeding purposes and we have 35 females, will he be able to handle that load of females, or should we get another roo to ensure fertile eggs?

    What breed or mix is this?!

    Thanks for that! I guess in my mind I pictured those big hatcheries as only carrying purebred chickens and when they needed more Easter Eggers, they just took a "brown" rooster and put him I with some "blue" ladies (or vice versa) and let them go crazy. I have never really thought of Easter...

    What breed or mix is this?!

    Funny enough, we were just talking a few months ago about getting a roo of our own, both for protection as well as to hatch our own chicks. Ordering chicks by mail can be VERY pricey. We had a few broodies so that's why we bought this last batch. We let them, well, her (eventually one of them...

    What breed or mix is this?!

    I only ask because ALL of the other Easter Egger pullets from this order look very much like they have either Welsummers or Barnevelders somewhere in their make-up, on the brown laying side of the family. Only one came out mostly white, and as a day old chick she was mostly yellow and black. I...

    What breed or mix is this?!

    Thanks for the info. If you had to make a wager, based on her... his coloring. What breeds might you think we're in his lineage?

    What breed or mix is this?!

    Now, I did have an inkling that she didn't look quite like a pullet but I guess I wasn't that sure as to question the chick "sexers" at the hatchery. She is almost 5 months old and I definitely agree with the saddle feather observation, but no crowing yet, no spurs, and "her" comb/wattles are...

    What breed or mix is this?!

    Hello Everyone, We live on a small farm in Southern Florida and have a small-ish flock of chickens and some goat babies. My question this morning is this... we ordered sexed female chicks from a few different breeds from a mail order hatchery back in June consisting mostly of Welsummers...
