These are from Hoover Hatchery rare breed package (half are rare, the other half standard breeds)

I bought 30 pullets, so I actually would like one cockerel among them to keep things interesting. I hope it is a roo! ;-)

I ordered the rare breed pullet package through Tractor Supply (Hoover Hatchery?). I thought it may have been a cockerel.

Supposed to have a few rare breeds in this bunch of pullets from Hoover Hatchery - what say you? Also, is the black one a cockerel or pullet? (photos 3804, 3851, 3857) Also, there is a mutant pullet here - her lower beak is pulled to the left side and her toes are twisted and maybe too many...

they are probably around 5 months - thanks, you verified what I thought.

The grey one: mother is green egg layer/mixed, the father is BCM The black one is BCM any instruction helpful, thanks

thanks for everybody's expressions! I'm glad that this is not a common occurence.....It was very surreal and it could have easily turned out bad, but it didn't. Thanks again for your concern!

This morning when I went to let the chickens out and feed/water I noticed my guineas alerting to something in the dirt beside an old dead tree stump. I looked and didn't see anything and went about my business. A few minutes later I was about to change the water right beside the guineas who...

Sorry, I just sold them this morning - now I've got to figure out how to delete the listing. Again, sorry for the inconvenience...

Wade Jean/Bev Davis 7-month-old French Black Copper Marans hens (4) and roosters (2) - sold as a package. These are very healthy well-kept chickens. Pick-up only: Bandera, Texas (near San Antonio)

Thanks for the advice. But before I saw a reply to my question, I went back out to where I had isolated her and she was trying to push it out and I could see the vent hole so I tried to align the egg with it. The egg started to leak so I went ahead and pushed out as much of the egg product as...

I just found one of my young hens (7 months) with a red ball hanging out of her vent. I did a little research on other threads and I put her in water to look closer. I could not find an opening to push the egg out through so I pushed it all back in to feel around and I don't know anything...

I didn't know if someone replied about telling you at one week old if a chick is male or female.... My relatives that have raised chickens for a while told me that by one week the females get longer/horizonal tail feathers and sure enough, a couple of months ago when I hatched some chicks I...

So, a week ago one of my silkies hatched out an egg that I put underneath her when she went broody. I also had eggs in the incubator that would hatch yesterday (a week later). So tonight I moved the 5 one-day-old chicks from the brooder into an isolated hutch and then moved her & her week-old...

Don't ask me - I've got enough hens, roos and guineas to fill up both my chicken houses....I've got chicks hatching in the incubator as we speak, just ordered another incubator, and I've got 2 dozen eggs ready to go into it. I honestly don't know what I'm doing, I got my first chicken less...

So here is the deal. You are not going to get your money out of them..., you are just not letting them go to waste. That is why the egg industry will trash the boys when they sex them. By the time we can tell the sex, we have already invested time, money and love into them so in my book, I...
