seriousbill- I cannot wait till my eggs hatch

I think bbb roosters are the MOST handsome!

I love all these pictures! I wish I could post mine, but all I have are chicks and eggs in the incubator anyway.

rodriguezpoultry- is Mr. Mom really 12 years old? That is amazing!

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Yep! He turned 12 years old April 27!

I was worried he wouldn't make it!

ok me again.....


so they are 4 weeks now...just turned

here are the buff


any guesses on gender yet??

 

[vortec]

Look a little young to tell for sure but I'd say they are looking mighty hen-ish. My birds are a little older, but here is a link that I posted on determining the gender of my light brahmas. Hope it helps.

thanks

i guess in a few more weeks we will know who stays and who goes. I am just so nervous and impatient. I am worried all the sweet gentle ones are going to be roos and the standoffish skittish ones will be my hens!!!! Just my luck

these 2 are sweet as pie!!

I LOVE EVERY ONES BIRDS!!!

Here are three of my ten bantam buff brahmas, one day old.

These are not the best picture I will get better ones soon

. I am aware that the middle on has a closed eye..... it was gunked up but it is better now.

In a lot of situations that is exactly how it turns out. My first batch were all adorable and loveable and out going. Ten of the twelve turned into roos. That is unfortunate but the skittish hens turned into very loveable birds lately so you just have to give them some time. Good luck!

Hi, now that some of you have helped me confirm that my mystery chick is a dark brahma, here are some photos..
I'm guessing that she's a pullet... but any thoughts as to pullet or cockerel would be appreciated!
