I’m not sure! Potts was actually the “Meyer Meal Maker” free chick! Seems to possibly be a “green queen” from their website that says which breed they were giving away that hatch date, but I’ve also heard it’s not always accurate!
Hello!
They are 6 weeks old and was curious if anyone could tell if any were roosters?
Thank you!

Possibly! But the Olive Egger and BCM were leg banded! And it was those two in the pics above and I couldn’t tell those two apart when I did take the bands off!
And happy to hear it may be still too early too tell, hoping they are all female 😬
at what age can I post pics and people be able to...
I’m not sure! This is what their website says! “The Green Queen is a Meyer Hatchery created hybrid chicken designed for our customers wanting a prolific colorful egg layer with a friendly and calm personality. Green Queens are an extremely hardy breed that will lay lots of large green eggs. They...
I hope it’s not a roo! So far all of the 6 chicks are great and friendly and come right up to us to hold! I’ll be so sad to have to see any go to a new home.
I’m not sure about the feathered feet either but they are so cool looking! Someone on here sent me a link to Meyer mystery chicks and I guess based on their schedule she may be a Green Queen!
Oh no!!! I can’t have Roos where I live 😢 I was hoping I would get lucky and get all females as I did order sexed but I know there is still a small Chance of getting a roo 😭 What makes you suspect cockerel for either?
Hello, I’ve posted before but I’m wondering if anyone has input on which is which as far as breed, these two came leg banded from Meyers Hatchery but I had to take them off before I could tell the difference in them. In this pic they are 3 weeks old.
my guess is this one is the Black Copper...
Oh wow I didn’t know that!! Haha
i have that shade cloth/tarp in two places but I may add it to the other side to protect from the morning sun!
I wish I would have known that before we put it all up!!
And here is where I’m thinking of putting the 3rd shade cloth.
Here is where the first shade...
So the blue coop is for the most part of the day, covered with shade,
Between the shade from the lattice and the shade tarp we pinned up on the side of the run structure to stop the afternoon sun from hitting that area as bad, it is for the most part in shade!
The shade fabric we bought and hung...
Thanks so much!!!
Could I just cut two small square windows on each side with our electric hand saw and cover it with hardware cloth for more ventilation?
Okay will do!!!
I was actually going to ask that, I’m actually changing out the pine shavings in the coop tomorrow, but I thought it was bad to put dirty shavings in the run area? Or I guess I just figured it was since it has poop 💩 mixed in it.
I’m sure I could get some wood chips from...
I see! So the widest part where the lattice is is 5’5ft wide and the narrowest part where the food and stuff is, is 3’3ft!
And yes that’s why we ended up choosing this space, it was dead space filled with river rock, so we removed all the rock to the dirt and build everything around it and I...
So the blue coop, I bought from someone before we had decided where exactly we were going to put the chickens in our back yard! And then I discovered that the open ended shed that was there when we bought our house can be used as a coop area.
The HC was there on the coop underneath when I bought...
