I need help!!
Everyone is telling me that my blue Orpington/Cochin cross is a rooster and I’m in denial! I’ve added way too many pictures so you can get a great look lol I love this chicken and I can’t have roosters so I’m a little upset about it lol I was told it was a pullet when I got it...
I was reading conflicting information. Some websites say that blues can be sex link. All around though I am finding that BLRW roosters are slower to feather than pullets. I’m still noticing a distinct difference between these, and the ones I have labeled as pullets are still feathering much...
I have 2 week old BLRW chicks. They’re are 4 splash, 2 blue and 1 black. Their wings are developing differently and I’m wondering if the BLRW have sex link genes? Are the roos slower to feather than the pullets? I’m assuming from the wing differences that I have 4 roos and 3 pullets. Any expert...
It definitely looks different from the others we got. These are the others from the same hatching, they are sleek, have yellow legs, and different colorings and different facial color pattern. These first two pics are the different chicks and then the last pic is the original one I posted (for...
i got straight run this time. I got all my salmon faverolles as pullets but my silkies and (what I thought were) americaunas as straight run. My batch of chicks last year were all supposed to be pullets but I ended up with 5 roosters out of 12 chicks.
We are really hoping it turns out to be a pullet, it’s so sweet and docile, the other ones we got in the same batch are way more assertive, walk a little taller and are pretty mean to all the other chicks in my brooder! I’m guessing with EEs it’s not easy to sex them until they’re older?
It’s SUPER fluffy, and only getting fluffier. I don’t know of any full sized birds that are fluffy? None of the others we got from the same brooder are fluffy, they’re all sleek.
We got them in a pinch because they didn’t have Easter eggers. I’d MUCH rather have an EE than ameraucana though based on temperment since I also have silkie and salmon faverolle pullets. I can’t find any pictures of chicks that look like this one though. I also should add, they had wellsummers...
I got 3 americaunas, none look like an americauna, but this one looks way different than the others! Can someone please help me figure out what chick it is? I am so stumped. I’ve never seen on with markings like this on the face. It’s got eyeliner, zig-zags, and it’s super fluffy.
Thank you! I was thinking she might be a polish/silkie cross too. She has 5 toes and black skin, feathered feet. But she doesn’t really look like any of my other silkie chicks I got from TSC.
Hello everyone! I’m trying my hand at a few new breeds that I’m not familiar with. I bought silkies from a local breeder, half turned out to be crested polish mixed. There is one still in question! I cannot tell what she is. She’s supposed to be pure silkie but she just doesn’t look like it! I...
I have already heard a little tiny crow twice from my brooder. I have 7 chickens, I can tell that all my full sized chicks are pullets. So im guessing the crow in question came from one of these bantams. I was shocked, I have never heard a chick crow so young
