Congratulations! I love Randy's birds. Anxiously waiting for baby pics!!

Yep... sounds like you just got luck of the roosters on this batch. I would have sworn little pink banded chick was a pullet in that first pic too. Sorry, I have no advise on picking your rooster. There was a lot of discussion on this thread a couple of years ago. It seemed the...

OK, I looked through some old WM chick pictures and I was wrong.....can't tell at 5 days. Here is an old pic of some 2 week old chicks and you can tell by that age. Darker is the boy (little split wing fellow)....lighter is the pullet. Sorry image is so big.....have been away for awhile and...

How old were they when you got them?? I can't remember exactly when.....but really young you can pick out the boys. Maybe 5 days?? They get dark feathers on the wings when still real tiny. If you search back through this thread there are pics somewhere. Any chance he sold you roos on purpose??

stole this from another thread

Thank you!! This is the stuff I am hoping to learn on this thread.

Excellent to see posts here again!! I am in shock at the quick changes these WM make as they grow. Here is a pic of my favorite but goofiest and least SOP cockerel. I posted this 2 weeks ago when he was 13 weeks old. His breast was all orange. Here is a pic I took today at 15 weeks old...

Can you post a link to your facebook stuff?? or a facebook name and we can look at your pics there??

Ok pics of my messed up WMs as promised. They hatched the Thursday before Thanksgiving...so 13 weeks or so old. Husband rushing me, so am not going to count weeks atm. Ok if you need better pics, can see what else I took later. Husband wants to get to the range right now!!

OK here's the deal on my juvies (12 or 13 weeks old). Sorry, no pics of them today. It is windy and overcast, they wouldn't hold still and 2 needy EE's kept jumping on my head... so I threw in the towel and will get some tomorrow. But, I did check them out closely. Faces of the cockerels are...

On a PC the new system is pretty easy....like attaching an e-mail. Click on the little pic, next to the film strip icon. Then find the pic on your hard drive and attach it. On a smart phone?? no clue?? I do miss your pictures!!!

Hey Debi- Didn't see your response until just now. I will get some pictures tomorrow and see what you think. Yes, they have feathers down the sides of the legs and the outside toe. I don't remember what color their legs are. The females are feathering in darker than I had hoped they would...

Thank you!! I was waiting for the juvi molt to pick out Cockerels to keep. However, 1 has a chance at a good home with a flock of layers. Can I safely eliminate 1 on the basis of combs at 10 weeks?? How many points is best?? Personally I think the testosterone boy has a funky comb.....any...

One of my cockerels is developing MUCH faster than any of the others. 10 weeks old. You can see the normal guy in the corner. That is what all the other cockerels look like. Then boom!! This one has a huge comb and enormous wattles. Is this normal or is something weird going on??

Cool, Thank you both for the info. Guess it is a month or so earlier than Ameraucanas. Just need Patience. One of these days I am going to pick a project bird that lays at 17 weeks!! On the up side: Since mine were hatched in November, they will mature with nice long days this summer.

What age did everyone's pullets start laying?? Really, Really hoping they don't wait as long as my AMs are.

Quote: some times they are very hard to hatch i usually go 45 percent humidity till lock down than 62 percent and yes wheaten marans are hard for some reason . i think its mostly fertility of roos .. just rest the eggs for a day whan you get them . id sudgest not candeling them every two...
