Got some updated pics of my gender-confusing chicks. If I base what they look like on my last two batches of chicks (from last spring), I have 2 roos and 3 pullets. What do ya'll think??? Chick 1: Pullet? Chick 2 (pullet?): Chick 3 (definite cockerel...red wattles, huge comb, bold barring): Chick 4 (definite pullet): Chick 5 (definite cockerel...bold barring, red wattles, big comb):

From my limited experience I agree with you!

So I need you all's opinions....

im looking into buying chickens.....a Sicilian Buttercup and 2 Red Laced Wyandottes.....bot GORGEOUS birds! I love them!

she was asking 40 for the SB and 35 for the rd. laced....if I got 2 birds I could pay 60, if I got all 3, 80. is this a reasonable price?

thanks guys!!!!



I have never bought full grown chickens....especially at this price.....that's why I was asking

My NYD Babies are getting to be so big! They are already 4 weeks old. One of the looks very different from the others. They are not supposed to be sexlinked or auto sexing but I wonder.
