Hi folks,
First time poster but long time reader. Any help in identifying my chicks. All hatched 11th Nov 2018. I have 2 SL Barnies, 2 GLW & 2 Blue Australorps. I have read through a few posts but really still not sure of gender & your opinions would be appreciated.
Pic #1 BA - Roo? Large comb, reasonably red including wattles, tail feathers seem to say Roo, will have a peck at you and seen charging others occasionally.
Pic #2 BA - hen?? (wishful), smaller comb, very little colouring, tail feathers more absent & appears to have slightly thinner legs.
Pic #3 GLW - hen? (also wishful), smaller comb & wattles than other one with little colouring, no tail feathers, wing pattens formed much later than mate, very calm.... mummies girl I call her, always with mother hen.
Pic #4 GLW - roo?, much larger comb & wattles, quite reddish, wing panel colouring been there quite early on, has tail feathers quite early, not shy to have a peck when holding and charges/dominates other chicks. Also not shy to steal food from our Alpha RIR hen (laser Dragon - kids named her).
Pic #5 & 6 SL Barnies - I’m at a loss to their genders. I think I may have 2 Roos. #5 pretty sure is a roo.
Thank you all for any responses and wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2019.
