    Help with breeds and If one chick is a roo, plus coop considerations please!

    Hey I've been doing lots more research and you're definitely right!! I was being so stubborn about it that I didn't really wanna check it out haha. We've been calling her coco so maybe a name with red in it shall be given instead. Thanks again!

    Help with breeds and If one chick is a roo, plus coop considerations please!

    Haha thank you! I did get the blue birds on separate occasions and the Roo looked way more gray to me when he was little than the female. She is also named lemon pepper because she had yellow and black fluff on her face when littler. I didn't know to look at the shape of the feathers so I'll be...

    When the red chick was little she had the dark stripes associated with the welsummer instead of the light brown/red ones like the RIR. I assumed welsummer because when we were in the feed store Saturday they had another batch of chicks identical to what she looked like as a young chick and they...

    Help with breeds and If one chick is a roo, plus coop considerations please!

    Yes I've kept mash in high dishes as well as water and dry food. She makes a complete mess emptying the dry dishes completely within minutes. So much food on the bottom of her brooder, but I take her out and feed her raw egg with a syringe until she doesn't wanna drink it anymore several times a...

    Help with breeds and If one chick is a roo, plus coop considerations please!

    Yes the right eye is missing. When I saw her and noticed her condition it almost made me cry so I asked the store clerk about her and they didn't know what they were going to do with her and said she might not live very long. They offered her to me for free so I got her a buddy and took them...

    Help with breeds and If one chick is a roo, plus coop considerations please!

    They are about 6 to 7 weeks now so if he looks like his comb is big and pink for a 9 week old than he is more than likely a roo. Dammit! Haha I need to rehime these as soon as they crow, hopefully I can find someone to take them. I cannot and will not be culling any birds!!

    I agree with the white rocks for sure! Also with the blue copper marans and with one being a Roo. I came up with cuckoo vs. barred rock because of his feet, they are pink/ black and not yellow like the barred rocks are supposed to have. As for the production red, I just read it's like a blanket...

    2 Roos! Oh no! I'm not allowed to have Roos haha, how did you decide with the cuckoo? I got them at the local Rockin' E country store. They are all supposed to be sexed as females to be layers. This sucks because I love them so much and am very attached to them as my first flock. The cuckoo had...

    Help with breeds and If one chick is a roo, plus coop considerations please!

    I've gotten 7 chicks and 2 ducks for my first backyard flock. I've been waiting patiently since 2nd grade when we incubated chicks in class, to own my own birds! I'm now 33 so quite a wait. But I didn't think to get the breed names or do any research beforehand. I just picked a variety of the...
