2nd picture the one in the front is a boy.
The last picture is also a boy. I think you have the rest pegged right.





This is for the post directly above. Last one on page 67.

Great that would mean that out of the 6 we got at TSC 4 are roosters

How old will they be when they start getting the colored feathers?

 

[Coop de Grille]

I have two chicks that I'm not sure if they are EE or Ameracauna. The person I got the eggs from said she wasn't sure if they came from her pure breed Ameracauna pen or the pen with a pure breed Ameracauna hen and Wheaten Maran rooster.

Feathered legs are a sign of a Marans chick.

 

[Coop de Grille]

The black chick does not have feathered legs. The white one has green legs with feathers.

Any idea on gender?

 

[Blarneyeggs]

Yes, I was looking at the white chick that resembles a splash Marans. Feathered legs, straight comb - my guess would be that those eggs came from the Marans cross, nice looking chicks, you'll probably get some Olive Eggers out of that cross. And I would guess roo on the splash with the comb size, but it's hard to tell at this age (at least for me).

I was wondering if anyone could help me identity if this chick is EE or not? Also when it comes to EE how do you determine if it is a pullet or a cockerel? This chick is 6 weeks old...is it too early to tell?

(He-she is all black and white, there a orange glow is this photo but it's just the lighting.)

Still no pink in the comb (compare to my Barred Rock), do the EE's comb turn pink at a later age?
Any feedback would help

 

[draye]

EE is a possibility, it has green legs, but a single comb. Some EE's have single combs.





Gender: I'm guessing roo. big comb and thick legs.

Barred, in your second picture, what breed is the little red against the wall? I have 10 mystery chicks I can't identify.
