    Fun Breed Bingo! - What breeds are these 8-9 week old pullets?

    Hi! I didn't get notifications of replies - apologies! There are definitely two cockerels - they were all purchased sexed. I'll work on better pictures today. I'm trying to figure out which ones are Welsummer. There should be two. But there are red star/sexlink and whiting true blue/green as...

    Fun Breed Bingo! - What breeds are these 8-9 week old pullets?

    We purchased a mix flock of chicks in February - some of them are so pretty! What breeds would you guess at this age?

    I am leaning this way too. Hoping I can get the breeder to swap one of them out - I have friends that will take two others. We can only keep one as we have two other Roos and 30 hens ☹️ They're the sweeeetest though.

    I'm confused too - but not from you! Making sure I get a handle of the differences here before I ask the breeder. :) it sounds like I'm on the same page as you. I just need to figure out why she is calling them bbs if they aren't bbs (I don't mind having a blue and a black, but I do mind...

    I read this article: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/difference-between-easter-eggers-and-ameraucanas-with-review-optional.76220/ BBS isn't listed - but the blue barred ones look like the blues in this article. So would it be more proper to say I have two blue and two black...

    They look ragged because of awful weather and a wet and muddy run and coop. I cleaned it that day - first real day of sun with no snow or flooding in weeks. they look much better today!

    I purchased them from a respected bbs breeder and picked them up in person, met the very separated flock they were sired by. They are most definitely two blue and two black bbs :)

    Hi Jed! How long will I need to wait do you think? If they are 14 weeks, I know I would find out by the time they start laying (most likely sometime in March) - but will I know a cockerel before that in this breed?

    You're correct - I meant both! So far in my novice chicken life I have noticed that both genders kinda find their young adult and then full grown voices - Roos are definitely more obvious but the ladies get a distinct sound too! But this is only my second set of chicks so I'm still learning so much.

    Well, Hello there.

    I do! - and increasingly so. I'm a cultural anthropologist by trade before starting a family and I think I'm living my "love all the different breeds and beauties" dreams in my chicken yard. [chuckle]

    Well, Hello there.

    Hello! Wildcrafting is a mix of foraging for food, foraging for fibers for weaving, and for me, foraging for edible things in which to ferment for beverages. Yum. I live beside thousands of acres of pnw forest - it's a giant treasure trove of goodness.

    Thank you so much for replying! This was three of them them a month ago - much less red combs at 9 weeks. This breed is confusing me so much! I was hoping to know more clearly what they are by now 😂 - and I keep going back and forth.

    Hi! First post 🖤 I would love help gender id'ing these four bbs ameraucanas. They are 14 weeks. I think everyone but 3 is a cockerel. Also - does anyone know when they'll start showing their voices? :) Thank you so much for your time, and apologies for the post-snow melting health of their...

    Well, Hello there.

    Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I'm a couple years in after a lifetime of wanting them. How many chickens do you have right now? 10, but I'll have 35 next month. What breeds do you have? 😬😁😅 Hens: Crested Cream Legbar, Buff Orpington, Lavender Orpington, Mystic...
