Something artsy because you have a good taste for color.
I think I might some of its siblings LOL I picked up a couple of them ot OK Feeds when I needed some friends for my only banty chick. I am surprised at how little they have stayed. I was told they were banty welsummers but boy are they tiny and one looks pretty similar to your little one. I'll post some pics when I can and we can compare. Maybe I'll need to look up seramas now...
You said rad.
The Green Dragon Roost is coming along. Picked up the paint today, British Racing Green.
I am sooooooo frustrated!!
When I ordered my batch of chicks from Ideal Poultry, I specifically asked for all hens - NO MALES, not even any to keep the others warm in transit as suggested. I was willing to take responsibility for any losses. I asked them to not throw in any extras or anything. The only straight run I ordered were 3 silkies and I knew I could get roos in there.
Well, here we are about 4 months later... our FAVORITE hen started crowing this morning. A beautiful Americauna which I was hoping to get pretty eggs from. They also DID send me an EXTRA Australorp which also turned out to be a rooster and is now crowing too. Then, next thing I know, our one and only speckled sussex they sent me is starting to crow. And from what I can tell, 2 of the silkies (the blue and red) are both roos.
That leaves me with 1 white silkie hen, 2 barred plymouth rocks, 1 rhode island red, 1 Americauna, and 2 australorps that are scaring me a bit with looking like roos. Do Australorp hens have bigger combs and wattles then other breeds?
That's like 5 roosters to 7 hens and that's if I'm lucky and the other 2 Australorps are hens. I expected that there may be some error in sexing, like maybe I would end up with 1 roo or something but this is ridiculous. I am going to have to start all over with getting enough hens for the eggs I want to get and butcher some of our favorites. Is there a more accurate place to order chickens from?
Country Girl - This is my Australorp at approx 4 months old.
She has bigger comb and wattles than the other two. Hers
have been getting redder when the others are still pink.
I was a little worried about her for a while. Someone guessed
that she looked like a roo from another picture I posted.
She is 19 weeks old now and no crowing so I am hopeful
that I got what I paid for. Hoping you did too.
