for comparison purposes, I was convinced this was a boy at about 8wks and actively tried to rehome "him"...she is now 13 months and lays regularly...(sorry it's a little blurry)

Wow.....i'll be hanging on to my "guys" a while longer... THANKS!!!

Ms DMRippy, Out of the 6 cutie pie chickadees you sent me. 4 are blue and only 1 male. Thanks!

NO! Really? Did you want me to send you more? I can in a few weeks......

I'm scared... Silly USPS better not loose them again.. The Zombie chick perished Thank the lord for tomatoes or they all would have perished. I will PM you...

Does anyone here know the genetic differences between a GLW and a black BLRW? I haven't been able to find an answer for this, just a mention that they are genetically different. I also haven't figured out how to tell the two apart.

Not a genetics expert, but I'm pretty sure it's the mahogany gene. Blrws are supposed to have it as it's what makes them red and not gold.

Hi - just got these chicks 3 weeks ago. Can you confirm they are BLRWs? Thanks!

whoa, thank you! that is really encouraging to hear
I have a "male" that I am wondering if it could actually be female. very large pink comb and wattles. but not getting any of the shiny feathering in on the back or wings like the other boys are starting to have. only time will tell. where is my patience? (I have none!) grow my little chicklets!!!

these photos are too small to see anything. the 2 on the left have green or black feet, BLRW do not....

 

[Farmer Viola]

Male? (Almost 5 week old BLRW) I hope not....I only hatched 2 of these and the other is definitely male....

it is pink, and does have a nice comb, small wattles. I wouldn't count it out just yet... you never know. my females have quite a bit of pink in the face too. i just posted pics of them on the previous page

Try this...and I am asking because it's legs darkened up.
