Was wondering if anyone can tell if this is a roo or a pullet? And are the lavenders much slower in feathering and growth than other breeds/colors? This one is 14 weeks old.
I was wondering if anyone can tell if these are hens or roos? I THINK the EE is a rooster, but when we got "her", we were told she's a pullet. She's about 17 weeks now and has yet to crow. Our Lavender came to us unsexed and he/she has been really slow to grow. (S)he is 14 weeks old. A couple of...
Does anyone know where I can buy Oxine in the San Diego County Or its neighboring areas? I am hoping to avoid the crazy shipping costs? Amazon is out of stock and looks like it will be for a while! Thanks!
I posted these on the Ameracauna thread and was told that it's an EE Roo. I can't see how people can tell that it's a roo so quickly!!! So what is it....
Boy? or Girl? And how can you tell!??!!?!?

Thanks!!!!!

No....she's definitely 3 weeks old. I've had her since Friday 6/3. If anything, she should be older than 3 weeks! I'm so confused now!
Did you get to see the parent stock? Bantam lav Ameraucana??? If it is an orp at three weeks plus in age I would have to say cockerel with that slow...

you could always get some sexlinks that way you can tell boys from girls early on
That would be the EASY thing to do! My daughter saw her and decided it's a girl and she HAS to have her! I decided to indulge her. And the lady was pretty sure it was a pullet! Of course, she also claimed...

No, we got her from a local gal who claims she hatched eggs from "top breeders". Here's a pic of her....What do you think?

That's a better pic but I don't think that chick is 3 weeks old, looks more like a one week old...

Just have to ask, are you sure that is an orpington chick? It has very black and petite legs as well as a solid black beak, not what I am familiar with seeing on lavender orpingtons??The conformation at three weeks doesn't seem right for an orpington either.
No, we got her from a...
We got our Ameraucana from a farm where they had hatched eggs from a breeder. We were wondering if someone can tell us what type it is? We didn't think to ask as my daughter just really wanted the chick because it was black and white! And can you tell us whether it's a roo or a pullet? We really...
Here's a picture of our 3 week old chick. She/he seems so much smaller than our other chick. She's standing next to our BCM who's the same age - Is that normal?!?!?!
My dad bought these chicks for my kids. Yes, grandfathers are such joy to the kids..... After reading the replies, we decided to call him to see if he knows anything about them. Surprisingly, he does! He bought them from a local farm that's just starting up. The chicks were hatched from eggs...
Hi, all! We are new to this forum. For their life science project, my kids wants to document the growth of our chicks. First, we need to find out what breed they are and whether they are rooster or hens. Here they are....Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
These two chicks are 3 weeks...
