    Pullet or Cockerel? Breed?

    This is guy/girl is a little over 6 weeks old from Meyer Hatchery. It was my “meal maker” so it’s supposed to be a free pullet, any breed is possible. I’m guessing they gave me a roo AGAIN! I was thinking it might be a Blue Andalusian but I’m unfamiliar with the breed. So 2 questions…is it a...

    What breed is this guy that was dumped at my house?

    I added better pictures! You are right, he does have some leg feathering!

    What breed is this guy that was dumped at my house?

    Thank you and you’re very welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed the photo. He was supposed to be a Salmon Faverolle from Meyer Hatchery but ended up being a Green Queen. He’s a sweet boy.

    What breed is this guy that was dumped at my house?

    You are exactly right! I’ve added better pictures to capture the leg feathering and the yellowing.

    What breed is this guy that was dumped at my house?

    I’ve added better pictures. He’s almost a yellowed cream color on his neck and back with a few feathers on his legs.

    What breed is this guy that was dumped at my house?

    The white rooster in the pictures was sadly dumped off at my house last night/this morning sometime. He seems docile enough that I’ll try to keep him for now and see how it goes. Can anyone guess an approximate age (I’m guessing a year or 2 as his spurs are slightly bigger and pointier than my 1...

    Pullets or cockerels?

    You guys have already helped my sex the other 3 in the hatch but these 3 are still in question. (3rd and 4th picture is the same chick) Any thoughts? They’re 5 weeks old and barnyard mixes. Thanks for any input!

    Little roos?

    Thank you! What do you think about these 3? These are from the same hatch as the 3 cockerels.

    Little roos?

    I hatched off these little barnyard mixes, now 5 weeks old, and I’m thinking these 3 are little boys. The combs seem awful red and big for only 5 weeks old but I’m still fairly new to this. What do you think?

    Pullet or Cockerel…Easter Egger?

    He ended up being a pretty good sized roo and a great one at that!

    What breed (or mixes) could he/she be?

    The chick is now 5 weeks old and appears to have some lacing on his/her chest. I’m kind of wondering about a SLW & Columbian Wyandotte cross because of the white feathering and the dark neck feathers coming in. I am very new to this so very unsure of my guess!

    What breed (or mixes) could he/she be?

    You are right about that. I’ve had some change so much that you’d never guess it’s the same chicken! I wish I knew the breeds she had so I could better judge. I’m sure you’re right, it’s most likely a barnyard mix. I gave her a light Brahma rooster several months back but she already had 2 or 3...

    What breed (or mixes) could he/she be?

    I had a broody hen hatch a single chick. I got the egg from a girl selling eggs who didn’t know much about what breeds she actually had. I’m thinking it looks SLW-ish but I’m still pretty new to all of this. What does everyone think? I’m sure it could be a barnyard mix too. TIA

    Breeding OE hen to EE roo…

    Thank you! I’m so appreciative of all the knowledge I’m gaining from this group. Your answer is so thorough and gives me a better understanding. While it’s hard to say what egg colors I’ll get, it’s interesting learning how it all works.

    Breeding OE hen to EE roo…

    Oh that would be really cool! Thank you!

    Breeding OE hen to EE roo…

    I can’t seem to find much info on breeding these two. I have an EE roo from Meyer Hatchery and an OE hen from Rural King (Hoovers). She has gone broody and I was wondering, if I breed them, what are the possible (or likely) egg colors the offspring might lay? Thanks for any input!

    Pullet or Cockerel…Easter Egger?

    Thank you! I’ll update in a few weeks if I’m still unsure to see what everyone thinks.

    Pullet or Cockerel…Easter Egger?

    That’s another reason I was asking. I thought maybe they were too but I’m too new to this to be sure.

    Pullet or Cockerel…Easter Egger?

    This is (I believe) my 9 week old Easter Egger. I ordered a random assortment along with 2 Easter Eggers from Meyer Hatchery so I’m not 100% confident. It’s supposed to be a pullet but it’s much larger than the other 10 from the same hatch and it’s extremely bossy. What do you think at 9 weeks...

    Selectively naughty rooster…

    That actually makes a lot of sense because she was first to lay out of the 7 that are old enough. He’s the sweetest boy (usually) so I hope this raging hormone year passes quickly! Thank you!
