Wait, not an Orpington?
Sigh, starting to dislike the farmer who brought me the eggs.. Doesn't even know which kind of chickens he has.. Very frustrating. :|
If it is, it's a cockerel though. It wasn't red but white when it hatched.
Ah, right, hatching. My bad, English isn't my native language!
We got 3 Ayam Cemani chicks, one of them is probably a cockerel, the other two are probably hens. The cockerels comb grows earlier than the hens!
Well, I'm just buying the eggs and breeding them in an incubator, no cockerels needed for that! ;)
Damn, hope it's not going to be boring-buff or a possibly ugly mix..
Thanks for the reply though!
First post!
I started breeding Ayam Cemani chicks, but the farmer accidentily sent an Orpington egg too! He's getting huge, very friendly, and so we are very much hoping it's a hen as we can't keep cocks when they start making noise.
I've never had Orpingtons before so I'm having trouble...
