Hi! I thought I would take you up on the offer for some help! Can anyone please confirm that these are all roos? We were apparently very good at picking them this year. Everyone is so helpful on all of these threads, not to mention very kind, I would feel better hearing for sure from you guys Thank you in advance for your help, greatly appreciated! They are 10 and 11 weeks old!
#1. Brown EE - Biggie (Pic 1)
#2. White/Blk EE - Trey (Pic 2-3)
#3. White/Blk/Brown Neck - EE - Gordon (Pic 4-7)
#4. White/Blk - EE - Chip (Pic 8)
#5. Whit/Blk/Brown Spec - EE - Jiboo (Pic 9-11)
#6. Black- Long Tail - Emerald Tail and Color - Australorp (I think) - (Pic 12-13)
#7. Black - Short Tail- Less Emerald Color - Australorp (I think) - (Pic 14)

I can get better pics, if needed! The good ones I took with my camera and the files are too big
Again, I really appreciate anyone's opinion (or fact!). Thank you so much for your help! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! XX

Where did you get it? Any feathered legs? Probably won't be able to tell breed until fully feathered or at least 6-8 weeks old.

Someone gave me fertilized eggs for the hen to hatch. The lady has lot of different types of chickens, so I wasn't sure which one this was. No feathered legs and it came from a light brown, speckled egg. I'll just keep watching and post pictures in a few weeks. Thanks for responding

Where did you get it? Can you tell what comb it has?

It was a donated fertilized egg for my broody hen. The lady had a lot of different chickens, so I'm sure it is a mix of a few different kinds. The comb is still pretty small and yellow. The chick is only about 2 weeks old, so I'm sure I will just need to wait a few more weeks and see what the later feathers looks like.

It probably a mix as you said. If its comb is a rosecomb it maybe a Wyandotte mix .

. I've a Question and have NO idea where or how to look with this new site update : Question we just rescued 2 NN Frizzles or is it Sizzles " both the NN Rooster & Hen have wing feathers that Break mid shaft. feathers curl look almost fluffy like .. . ) what can I breed them with . . Finally have an Bantam NN Pair.

IF I breed with Silkies will that make the same Problem in Chicks, Breaking shafts ?

IF I breed with Regular feather what will they make ?

I would post this in this forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/exhibition-genetics-breeding-to-the-standard-o.16188/

Good luck!

Thank you and thank you so much for your quick reply, much appreciated! I was so hoping my big brown one was just a chubby huge hen, he's so sweet (for now!)

Wondering if anybody can tell me sex on these 4 week old chicks.
1. Gray EE
2. Black Ameracauna
3. Blue Cochin.
Out of sixteen chicks, 12 of which were sexed pullets, 4 straightrun cochins, I think I may have ended up with 4 Roos. ‍ If the EE and Ameracauna are both roo's, I surpassed my 10% margin of error. There is no denying one of my buff orpi's is a roo.

The first is a pullet, the second is a pullet, the third looks like a possible cockerel, and the last is a cockerel

Ok, there are Frizzles, Frazzles and Sizzles.

A Frizzle is a chicken that is heterozygous for the trait. A Frazzle is homozygous (and has many feather problems). To avoid Frazzles, never breed two Frizzles or Sizzles together. If you breed a Sizzle to a smooth feathered chicken, you should get 50% Frizzles. Sizzle to a silkie is 50% Silkies, 50% Sizzles.
