So I got me these 7 straight run chicks off of good ole craigslist
supposed to be cuckoo marans
yeah well
I think I got 4 cuckoos and 2 copper black marans and one mule(?) But, it's all about the adventure isnt it
anyway
I tried to pick hens based on headspots... but I must have at least one roo... someone in the screams and I have heard that is a proto-crow... who knows... maybe they are all roos! These are my first chickens so what do I know!
For your guessing pleasure here are my seven 5.5week old chicks, 4 cuckoos first then 2 copper black then the mystery mule. So do you think they are hens or roos and do you think I have guessed correctly and what breed do you think Mule might be? All guesses and any other commentary greatly appreciated. Pics are from my cell phone so a bit less than ideal...
Begin Cuckoos
Inky HEN?
Pumpkin (has orthopedic issues but seems to get along fine) ROO?
Houdini ( so named because when I banding them, she kept disappearing into the flock) HEN?
Kudzu HEN?
Begin Copper Blacks
Blu (ironcally Blu has some red highlights coming in on his(?) head/neck) ROO?
Invisiroo (so named, because this chick is a wallflower...also has so red just starting, but less than Blu) HEN?
Begin what the heck is this one?
Mule (stubborn, not all that friendly and small) HEN?
