Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sylvester017]

Thanks! Could it be harder to tell with Buckeyes? Pea combs and small wattles….I don’t know at what age one can tell definitively with Buckeyes. They are 12 weeks old now. She’s got the biggest and reddest comb of all of them. I’ll try to get a better head shot. I was focusing just on the feathers…I read with purebred Buckeyes one might be able to go by the rows in the pea comb, that Roos have three distinct rows. Don’t know if that’s true but these can’t be purebred anyway, they are from Cackle.

Cackle should be fairly reliable about their Buckeyes. As for combs ~ we got 3 rose comb Dominique pullet chicks & all 3 adult combs looked a little different. One looked like 3 even rows, one looked zigzaggy, & one looked just bumpy w/ no pattern yet the 3 girls were all Dominiques w/rose combs w/ the customary leader in back.

I think it’s time for a hospital visit!

Very strange weather we’re having right now. 103f and thundering. Rain expected

Hope you are ok and feel better soon!!
