Hi again!
I was just wondering if anyone could help me confirm these birds' genders.
These are my Barred Rocks (please excuse the Blue Andalusians on the left and top). Barred Rock A (center left) has larger, redder comb and wattles, and is lighter than Barred Rock B (center right). They were both sold to me as pullets. Is Barred Rock A still a she?
Barred Rock B and A- you can really tell how much lighter Barred Rock A (on the right) is.
Also, I bought 2 Buff Brahmas from Tractor Supply (who mixed up the labels for the Buff Brahmas and the Salmon Faverolles...and didn't correct it when I told them they had it mixed up). They didn't tell me they were straight run. I only found out when I got home and looked at the receipt and the receipt said Straight Run. I have no idea how to tell the gender of these two. Any guesses? (Although I have heard that Brahma roosters get along well with other roosters, and I think I already have at least one cockerel).
Buff Brahma A:
Buff Brahma B:
AND... I bought 2 Jungle Fowls from a local pet store and these are also supposed to be pullets. But they are very perky looking and their combs and wattles are quite pinkish red already. Do they both look like pullets?
Jungle Fowl A:
Jungle Fowl B:
One last breed... 2 Salmon Faverolles. Again, from Tractor Supply, labeled as Buff Brahmas, didn't know they were straight run until I got home and noticed the receipt. Do they both look like pullets? Salmon Faverolle A has a lot more grey than B, but B doesn't have much of a tail and has brown/salmon feathers down the bottom of his/her back. When they were younger, one of them had tiny little stub wings that were darker colored and the other had long brown/salmon wings (I think B was the one with darker colored stub wings, but I am not 100% sure).
Salmon Faverolle A and B:
Salmon Faverolle A (back) and B (front):
Thanks for looking, I hope you can help me sort out and verify their genders!
