Week 8 up update. Chick 1 Chick 2 Chick 3 Chick 4

ChickNanny, Those are beautiful birds! I don't seem to have nearly the type of lacing as your birds yet. I'm hoping as they get older that may improve some but I'm becoming disappointed in this group of chicks. They may turn out really pretty but I agree they are much more of a black bird than...

Week 7 here. Definitely seeing what I think are Roo traits in chicks 2 and 4. Also not completely convinced I even have any BLRW. The colors seem much more golden and black like a GLW..Any thoughts? Chick 1 Chick 2 Chick 3 Chick 4

Thanks Teila! This is what I'm thinking as well. I've heard the BLRW are especially hard to sex, but the last two pullets I bought sprouted combs and wattles really early like #2 and #4 and turned out to be roo's. Here are some pictures from the move outside: Chick 2 Chick 3 Chick 4...

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome! I've always loved following the forums on here but haven't posted before. Here's a 4 week old update on the new chicks, enjoy! ( I tried some different colors of fingernail polish in an attempt to better tell them apart but I'm not sure it's going to...

I picked up 4 BLRW's this morning. They are almost three weeks old and are "supposed to be pullets" according to the gentleman I bought them from. (He was saying this because they have already started growing tail feathers) I'll add pictures each week to follow their progress. I hope he was...
