Ok, it's me again. Tell me, are these eggs fertilized?

And please excuse the horrible state of the coop. We have been hammered with fires all around us lately and have missed cleaning. It was done today! Looks like maybe I need to watch and find out who is being a sassy plucker instead of thinking I have a roo. I appreciate everyone's comments and...

They are so pretty!

Sorry for the delay. I took new pics of both of the non-squatting blues. Now what do you think?

Let me go try and grab some.

Uugh, and that is what I feel like too, but everyone else appears to be hens as well. And would a roo squat when I approached him?

Hi all, I posted my lot of 12 about a month ago and the pretty much unanimous decision was they were all pullets. Well, here we are now, they are 5 months old, and there are definite signs of mating going on! I have a few girls that are getting bare spots on their back, and I have seen a few...
