I sure hope so! We eat about 5-6 eggs a day (scrambled eggs for breakfast, and the extra for pancakes or muffins, etc) thereabouts and hope to sell the extras to pay for their feed :) A few other pics (again they're not the best ones simply because the darn stinkers wouldn't hold still).

Yeah none of my chicks have that prominent wattles or combs yet. The wattles are barely peeking now at 11 weeks, and the longest comb of any of them is MAYBE 1/4" long and only a few of them are tinged pink, none red yet.

Ok so if none of my birds have red wattles and combs (this one has the biggest I think) I may have lucked out and ended up with all pullets? I know vent sexing is only about 90% accurate but I would love to be able to keep them all! I suppose a few more weeks will be definite.

Pullets supposedly.

Here's a photo (seriously a two year old with pure coffee no water would have held still better! How do you guys actually get pictures?! It took me an hour and a half to get this one!) So this is the one I suspect is a roo. The rest of them don't have nearly so green tailfeathers, but trying to...

They may be production reds for all I know, but their coloring is most definitely that of RIR's. Very red, blackish red beaks, yellow eyes (so maybe production-I read that RIR's have red eyes? They started out blue but are definitely yellow now). The one has green tailfeathers, the others are...

Trying to- had to organize homeschool stuff and it took longer than I anticipated...

They both have tailfeathers now. One is quite green, others are mostly the red with a few darker feathers.

My chicks are 11 weeks old and no wattles really to speak of yet, and barely any reddening in only one of the combs. Is that normal of 11 week old RIR's? They may be production reds as they're from a hatchery ordered online through Tractor Supply. The eyes are yellowish but their coloring is...

Lol I can't yet really tell them apart except the one :hmm

Hello. I am new to backyard chickens and this is my first flock. I have 12 (ordered ten Tractor Supply threw in 2 extra and said I could keep them when I pointed out the error). The thing is, I can't have roos in city limits on less than 2 acres, and I need to know (I think it's something one...
