    Sasso Ironas - Looking for photos of adult birds.

    Another of the cockerel from a week ago that shows more of his body.

    I forgot to hit reply when I posted them but the photos are above ⬆️

    Sasso Ironas - Looking for photos of adult birds.

    Here are the other three, the (hopefully) females. The red is just starting to come in and the camera didn't pick it up well. The first one has no red, the second a little bit and the third has more. These three feathered out really quickly whereas the "for sure" cockerel feathered out extremely...

    Sasso Ironas - Looking for photos of adult birds.

    This is the cockerel from today. The other three are quite shy and I don't have good, recent pictures of them. I can get some tomorrow though.

    Sasso Ironas - Looking for photos of adult birds.

    Those are the ones! 😉 I'm mostly wondering what the hens look like. I've got four 6 week olds. One is definitely a cockerel and the other three seem to be female. All of the hen photos I've seen look pretty similar to a Barred Rock but my three that I think are pullets have varying amounts of...

    Sasso Ironas - Looking for photos of adult birds.

    Does anyone have adult Sasso Irona chickens that they wouldn't mind sharing pictures of? Google doesn't seem to bring up anything except for the same two photos all of the hatcheries are using.

    Red Sex Link or no?

    Just a little update on this dude. Coming up on 20 weeks now.

    Red Sex Link or no?

    Sorry, I didn't see your reply until now. His father was definitely a pure Rhode Island Red and all of the hens were supposedly purebred as well (no Bielefelders among them). I do agree that he looks a lot like one though.

    Red Sex Link or no?

    I agree, it has to be the Barred Rock even though it shouldn't be. I saw the rooster and he had zero barring and was a nice, dark mahogany color. We're keeping this guy so I'm looking forward to seeing what he looks like fully grown.

    Red Sex Link or no?

    11 weeks old now, he's turning out to be quite handsome ❤️

    Red Sex Link or no?

    No worries! Your comment reminded me to come back and update with more pictures 😉

    6.5 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks

    Sorry, these aren't the best pictures but you can definitely see the pointy saddle feathers now. "Dorothy" is in the front. My son has renamed him Ted now.

    6.5 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks

    I just switched to a new phone and it doesn't look like the most recent pictures transferred over. I can take a few tomorrow though for you. The saddle feathers are pretty obvious now.

    6.5 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks

    I just wanted to come back to update that, at 10 weeks of age, it is now obvious that Dorothy is a cockerel. The other two still look like pullets though 😉 🤞

    Buff Opington?

    No, I know this, but this is what I have currently. It'll probably be more apparent what she might be as she gets older, I was just curious if anyone recognized her as something else other than a Buff Orpington because she didn't look like one to me.

    Buff Opington?

    I'm pretty sure they were $4/egg. Not crazy but definitely more expensive than mixed breeds are going for around here.

    Buff Opington?

    This is what I was thinking too. Thanks for your input 😉

    Buff Opington?

    That's kind of what I thought 😉 Makes no difference to me at all but I feel bad that she paid for purebred eggs!

    Buff Opington?

    My sister purchased hatching eggs and hatched out what was supposed to be Buff Opingtons. She gifted this one to my son today but I'm not so sure it's a Buff Opington. The legs are yellow, not white and I don't think the black feathers are normal for a Buff. Suggestions on what it could be...

    Red Sex Link or no?

    Another update on my boy with the weird genetics. He's 8.5 weeks old now. I think it's safe to say that the barring is sticking around. He's definitely going to be a pretty rooster when he's all grown up!
