Hello! I posted about a month asking what kind of chicken I had, but it was a little too soon to tell. So here I am back now that the chicken is 8 weeks old and pretty much all feathered out. I hope you can tell me what breed and even if you think he's a rooster or hen. Thank you! Another thing is that he is still smaller than the rest of our chickens and so fast ,if that helps any.

It's tough to say with just down color for a clue. I'd suggest asking after they feather out if you still aren't sure. Unfortunately, there are several that can look very much alike at this age and without comb type, leg color, or whether the legs have feathers, we'd just be naming off heavy breeds with light or red plumage.

You do know cornish x are bred to be harvested for meat at 8-9 weeks? They're prone to a myriad of health problems and aren't a good choice if you want a sustainable meat bird.

No I did not know that we were supposed to get him for egg laying

I agree with keesmom that it's a Lakenvelder but I'm on the fence about gender. It's sporting a good bit of comb/wattle but then this is a Mediterranean type so I'm looking at the color and it isn't cockerel red. I'd give it a couple weeks and see. Males should show rooster feathers pretty young.

Bought these hens today $5 each. What are they? Any idea on egg color? Age? Look at those green legs!

They look like easter eggers. Egg color eggs that vary in shade from blue to green to olive to aqua and sometimes even pinkish.

Bargain! They look like hatchery EE pullets, 3-4 months old. Most hatchery EEs lay green eggs, a few lay blue, and rarely you'll get one that missed the boat and lays some shade of brown.
