I got them from tractor supply about 2 1/2 months almost 3 months ago. So my understanding is that I have 2 rooster which are cockerels which are the Grey ones?Where did you get them? I see one White Cochin Bantam pullet, two Lavender Orpington cockerels, one Salmon Faverolles pullet, and a Blue Marans pullet (most likely)
Omg I got her from tractor supply but I never read that name on any of the labels.The white/brown one is definitely a Salmon Favorelle, probably a pullet. I want one so bad, but have never managed to get my hands on one...
Yes! The lighter grey are the Orpingtons, darker grey the Marans, light brown the Faverolles, and white the Cochin BantamI got them from tractor supply about 2 1/2 months almost 3 months ago. So my understanding is that I have 2 rooster which are cockerels which are the Grey ones?
I ordered from Meyer Hatchery this year and was really hoping I got one in the rare breed mix since they were "sold out" of ordering them specifically, lol. Most of the rare breed possibilities were Polish and I didn't get a single Polish either! I did get a Splash Orpington, which is beatiful...but I wasn't thrilled with getting 3 solid white chicks (one is a White Cochin with feathered feet). I don't know that I'll ever order a "grab bag" again though...I'll order pairs or sets of 3 so I know what I have.Omg I got her from tractor supply but I never read that name on any of the labels.
The combs and wattles are much too large for a pullet of that age. A pullet wouldn't get them until they were 16+ weeks oldThe Faverolle is def a pullet as roos at that age are basically black. They are a great breed! What makes you think the Lavender Orps are roos?
I'm thinking of ordering from a hatchery next year instead of tractor supply since I didn't know they give you whatever and sometimes you can end up with all roosters I'm glad from the 6 I have 2. Now with more research I know I want egg laying chickensI ordered from Meyer Hatchery this year and was really hoping I got one in the rare breed mix since they were "sold out" of ordering them specifically, lol.
