Any Idea what he/she is??
I also forgot the picture of our Honorary roo - keeping watch over his flock - this is Judah he is a Giant Schnauzer but we shaved him to keep him cooler for the summer:
My opinion...Rhonda IS Rodney!!! The tail feathers give that away, check "her" legs I'll bet there's little bumps that will someday be spurs. Check the web sight t see if there's Golden Comets because that's what the two red/white ones look like to me.The "girls" are 11 weeks old today. I would love any input on Breed if you look at a picture and any - oh that's a roo! Not exactly sure of Breed b/c the urban farming store just gets a mix and they were pretty clueless as to what they had. I can't believe how hard it was to get these pictures. Every time I would squat down to take one they would run over "OOO mommy must have a treat!!" The Flock (wasn't it nice of them to line up so perfectly for me!):Queen Elizabeth - Barred Rock (I know what those are!):
Rose Tyler - Barred Rock (Son got to name this one! Big Dr. Who fan!) Had to share two to get all of her:
Nina - Black Australorp?? She has pinkish grey feet bottoms, in the past few weeks her legs seem to have gotten really big, which makes me wonder is "she" possibly Nigel not Nina?
Clara Oswald - Jersey Giant - she has yellow feet bottoms (the other one my son named)
Rhoda - Sexlink?? We were told Rhode Island Red, but we know that's not right! Her head is a ton redder than the rest of her body but that is not as noticeable in this pic.
Rhonda - SexlinK?? Another one were were told was a Rhode Island Red NOT! "She" is much redder than Rhoda. Someone said they thought she was a Production Red, but they are all from Meyer and I don't see Production Reds on the website. About 2 weeks ago "her" Comb and Wattles suddenly got much bigger and redder which left us wondering is Rhonda is actually Rodney. Two pics b/c I love the second one but you can't see all of her!
Red Sex Link (also goes by a number of other names that I think SallyInIndiana posted - I don't know them all)I do think that the hatchery red boys tend to be aggressive - so keep an eye on that one and try not to let anyone get too attached! I wouldn't do anything unless he becomes a problem but you are about a month away from hormones kicking in and you might start to have problems.
Here is my Daughter showing her Wheaten Marans she is 10!!
With those head shots, I would say both girls. I have 2 just like that. One has a huge comb the other is tiny. Without seeing hackles saddle and tail, it's hard to give a good guess.Okay...look at these 2 reds from the hatchery...Pullet or Roo?
How did she do? She had the only wheaten marans in the barn I noticed.Here is my Daughter showing her Wheaten Marans she is 10!!
