HI ! I had two broody hens this fall and one of my Barred rocks managed to hoard 3 eggs (long story) she hatched one and then left the other two so my very good always broody silkie took over the nest and hatched the other two. I know who the dad is but not sure who the actual momma is, two of...
My Barnevelder is 7 weeks old. Starting to think it may be a male. It has always stood tall, has a pointy tail, more black blueish than laced. Lots of red on comb, waddles and face. What do you think, is it a Rosie or a Romeo? Attaching younger pictures as well.

I have a week-old Ayam Cemani chick and a possible 4 week old Russian Orloff. They were given to me to raise and I'm afraid I cannot add either of them to my flock if they are roosters. I cannot even confirm the brown chicken is a Russian Orloff. I've never raised chicks before but I currently...
