That’s very helpful to know! I actually had another BLRW from the same hatch that I was 95% sure was a boy, he was dominant and had big wattles and red comb and very splotchy coloring so I re-homed him. These 2 I have look more alike that the suspected roo which made me think they are both...
That’s the one I’m most worried about being a roo, I did rehome one from the same hatch that was def a roo with bigger wattles and bright red comb aggressive roo behavior but this one I’m worried might just be a little later to develop 🤷🏼♀️
I’m having trouble sexing these 4 chicks. They are 9-10 weeks old.
1: Olive Egger
2: Black Austalorp I believe it has some white tips on the wing, no real comb but tiny pink wattles coming in.
3: BLRW
4: BLWR
I got these from a breeder so they were straight run. Only one of them acts roo-ish and challenges my olive Egger Roo that is the same age and it’s number 2, but I know that doesn’t rule out the others being Roo either they just may be less dominant. Okay I may post updated pics in a few weeks...
Any ideas of these, I’m pretty sure 2 is a Roo but I really hope I have at least 1 Pullet 😩 This breed has been hard for me to guess. I’ve stared at so many pictures. They are 6-7 weeks supposed to be blue laced red Wyandotte. Thanks for looking any help is appreciated!
I think these are New Hampshire Red (pulled from a random Atwood’s bin) I picked the ones with the longest tails as babies hoping they were girls. What sex do you think they are: I’m really hoping for pullets bc I have too many Roos! They are about 2 months old now. These are the best pics I...
Anyone have any guesses what breed this is? First pic is at 2 weeks and second/third pic is 3 weeks old, it’s the runt of my bunch and much smaller than the rest... thanks!
Okay thanks guys. Glad I’m not the only one that couldn’t figure out. The more I look at other pictures I do think he is a mix and not a pure breed, I may give him a call or just watch him grow and see what he becomes. I’ll post a pic when he’s bigger :).
I notice now the Campine doesn't have yellow legs either. So I have no clue, I may just have to call the guy and hope he remembers me. It might be a mix, hopefully it will be easier to tell as he ages. 🤷♀️ He is pretty big compared to the others and def. the alpha rooster of his group.
Yes I’ve heard of Fayoumi but since the legs are yellow thought it wasn’t that. It could be a mix I guess you can’t rule that out but this guy was super knowledgeable about breeds and terminology and he had all the breeds separated from each other but I’m new to chickens so I may not know what’s...
A local breeder, he said this was a really cool chicken and I should look it up. He said the name at least 3 times and I even repeated it a few times and forgot: I’m too embarrassed to call and ask 🤦🏼♀️ So I was hoping someone could help me.
