Are those Americauna's you posted Cyn?

Just now? No, Kate, those are Barred Plymouth Rocks, some of what you'll be getting in your egg order.

Ahhhh then my Penny is a Plymouth barred rock! She is one of my Dec babies and looks just like the one sitting at the corner of the coop. She is the one who adopted Charlotte, the baby duck, and the new hatchling.

My very favorite breed of all time!

Adam, anymore babies for you, buddy?

 

[Sherris Backyard Beauties]

They are so cute! Congratulations!

Is it the same for identifying the sexes for the bantam barred cochins?

Ok I have 1 BR, 3 Amer. and the blue orpington piped last night but it is not out yet.

Here is the BR (sorry it is out of focus)

Boy or girl?

And the 3 Amer.

Talk to you later.

BR looks like a pullet to me! How cute those Ameraucanas are! I love them alot. I think my lone black Ameraucana, the last baby I hatched from Charlotte, is a girl, too.

I never thought about it, but to my knowledge, they dont have a headspot. Dont know about their leg color, if there's a black wash down the front or not, but dont remember one. I don't own any Cochins-maybe someone can comment on that for us.​
