Pics from me now.

RIR pullets - 7 weeks





The 7 week old gang



Splash Orp pullet - 7 weeks




Black Orp pullet - 7 weeks. The camera was making her comb look a lot redder than it is



Silver Penciiled Rock bantam pullet - 8 weeks



All these eggs are from my Dorking - she's laying like a machine!

Seriously?? They have much bigger feet than the couple of marans in with them (who I do think are boys). Not worried about sexing them yet, just noticed the feet.

Yes mine all had big feet from day one.
These are all pullets.

K Spot - they are all pretty, but my favourite is the splash orp. I'm determined to get a lavender coloured bird at some point. : )

Fancy - it looks like your chick is self-conscious about her 'big legs' now the way she is looking down at them. Lol. So much cute fluffyness!

Gorgeous pics. Looks like she is fascinated with her feet too. Do they feather in at different rates for the boys and girls?

I've only hatched 1 x roo. I can't say that I noticed anything vastly different in the feathering. My Wyandotte for instance , the Roos have blunt butts and feather in much slower than the pullets. I've known that LG ( little George ) was a cockerel since he was about 2-3 weeks old. His comb and waddles went very red and the hens didn't change till they were at pol.

I hope that ratio continues on over here! So far, we have had 100% rooster ratio with Coro's.

Two girls and a boy this time please hatch gods!

OMG have you ever had one of those days.... A guy wanted a marans roo and as I had a spare he asked me to send pics.. He was mega happy with the bird but then he asked are they wormed and vaccinated... Fair question.... I worm but don't vaccinate as I have never seen any real benefit too it and I have never lost a bird to illness in the whole time I have had them... I not a big fan of injecting chickens with stuff for just in case ... but I do understand why people do... Anyways I get email back telling me how terrible I am etc etc cause is place is disease free and I could be giving him something... Yes i understand that but don't buy if you don't want to its a free world...I did reply that my flock is also diseases free and that I love my animals and would never sell anything that could be slightly not right... He responded again that he was going to report me to the rspca for not vaccinating..... I didn't reply again. I have no probs if he does my birds are all healthy and well taken care of but gee really I was doing you a favour.... I offered him my spare roo for $10...

I had a similar incident a couple months back when I was giving away a quail that was meant to be a girl but turned out to be a boy..... I was getting insulted via text... And the quail was for FREE!

Some people....
