@Auroradream26

FWIW, three of them do not pass my standards.

yellow toes?

I think green and yellow are cockerels, pink and blue pullets, orange not sure. That's my guess anyway lol. How old are they now?

 

[OneMountainAcres]

I'm thinking that the 3 that I have are all cockerels. One doesn't look like he meets the standards and one has been named Onyx. He's super friendly and hops out of the brooder every morning when I feed them so I can hold cuddle him for a few minutes

Here are my guesses:

BLUE
- pullet
- cull due to white toenails, lack of fibro saturation, especially in the feet, and there's something wrong with her wings that I've never seen before, don't know if it's genetic or due to incubator issues. You can't see it in the photos. The very tips of the wings are king of folded under so the longer wing feathers are turned out, that is, you see the inside of the feather that should be facing the body. I noticed this at about two weeks old but forgot about it until taking photos yesterday.

GREEN
- cockerel
- Skin isn't as fibro as I'd like to see, but could darken once he gets some sun.

ORANGE
- cockerel - nice solid black feet, already showing purple sheen in his feathers. Skin isn't as fibro as I'd like to see, but could darken once he gets some sun.

PINK
- pullet
- cull due to white on feet, white toenails. Pink is the one I would have culled at hatch due to white toes. You can see they've darkened in quite a bit but they still aren't black.

YELLOW
- I have a suspicion this one is a cockerel.
- cull due to white toenails. Actually I can see the black quick in this one's toenails, so possibly they will darken some more.






Oh, and the leghorns turned out to be a pair of isabels and the brown is a pullet.

And you thought all the Leghorns were cockerels, lol... nice trio...

Just to see if there's any interest - When my EE are laying enough eggs to offer 6-12 of them (in a few weeks) would anyone be interested in them? My roosters are nice, (they don't attack us, me, the girls, kids/dogs, etc.) and my hens are super sweet, and friendly. They also don't pick on the other birds for the most part. (They even let our ducks come into their dog-run to clean up any food they didn't eat before they go out to free-range.)

Our first egg was a minty-green colored! I was so proud!

​

You can see our rooster in the back looking above the girls heads.

​

here's a better pic of his coloring.

​

Her'es a couple of my girls - I also have a dark brown one, a white one, a white-tri-colored female that's red/whitish like our rooster. 2 grey/silver ones, and the ginger one you can see in this picture. I currently have a total of 6 girls, and 2 roos. But the roo I showed, is the alpha and he doesn't share his girls with other boys.

I'll be incubating some of their eggs at the end of jan, to test fertility - if were a go, I should be able to offer some in feb.
