Thanks for the info! Now I'm wondering if I'm imagining the purple feathers (second guessing myself). The lighting sucks in these pics and they are from last week but I'll try to get updated ones tomorrow. I'd love to know what you all think
Hi Everyone, this could be a silly question, but since I am new to chicken keeping I thought this would be the right place to ask. I have two BA pullets who are 15.5 weeks old and a cuckoo marans and EE that are the same age as well. Ive noticed that my two BAs are getting SUPER iridescent...
I have a quick question, and will follow up with some pictures tomorrow- Ive already posted a few but since my 2 BAs are around 13 weeks now its VERY evident. Today I noticed that one of my BAs looks as if she has whitesh ear lobes and my other BA has clearly red/pink ones. They both have the...
In general, at 5 weeks old if a chick is getting a pink/red come and clearly red wattles that would scream roo, correct? I only have 2 BAs, and one has a pale comb and no wattles. I will work on a pic of it would help but from what I've gathered this would be the deciding factor. Very bummed as...
Thanks for the info! I bought them through a local organic farm store that specializes in chicks/chickens. I think that they did come from a localish hatchery but Im not sure which one....but I know that they were sexed.
I would have no problem having a roo- both my BAs are super sweet but its...
I have a short question for all of you. I have an BA who is closing in on 5 weeks in a few days...Im thinking this particular chick is a roo in disguise but was wondering if in the next few days I will see the waddles develop? Im thinking I can see hints of them now, whereas my other BA has...
No one was behaving for me today but I think I got some OK shots- sorry for the one blurry head shot. That Chuck is the bigger one and doesn't have much of a comb at all. I'm also sticking a link for a video that might give a better look. I'm also worried my cuckoo is a roo too- but I'll put...
I'm beginning to think my two BAs are older than suspected but not by much. It's funny though because they seem to be feathering out the same but one is much bigger than the other. The bigger of the two has virtually no comb but the smaller has a pointy comb developing. No color and it's small...
hoping this one is the winner! had hubs help me :)
Around 3 weeks, just started developing a comb. Our other BA doesnt have anything really showing yet.
I have a quick question. I have two BAs that are around 3 weeks old. One is larger than the other one but today I noticed the smaller of the two is developing a comb already and the other larger one has nothing. Is this an indication I could have a roo? Or just an every chick is a little...
I have been giving my chicks, including two BA dried mealworms out of my hand- and needless to say they will swarm me! We are brooding them in our guest bathroom's step in tub, it has sliding glass doors so its all secure. Today I was in there and its usually just my EE that will fly into my...
Hello all! I've been parusing the thread but I think I must have missed the answer to my question. I'm due to get day old BAs this week but was wondering if there were any signs th little peeper could be a she or a he? They should be she's but you never know!
