Hi guys. I posted around this time last year, looking into breeds/genders for my flock. Sadly we lost them all before christmas 2024. My girls weren't even 1 yet.
ANYWHO that broke my heart, so i went and spent 5 hours driving from town to town until i found the ones i liked. These precious birds have really been my Joy. They arent as friendly as i usually have them at this age, but to be fair i can't spend nearly as much time with them as i used to,**Forewarning there are TWELVE birds in my brooder, so there are going to be 12 separate birds here**
Date of purchase: Bantams - 4/7/25 all others 4/3/25 so i know its gonna still take a few more weeks unless its REALL obvious
I have some SUSPICIOUS little ones in the group... First off Im worried about the breeds i received for the first two. The sign said Silver Laced Cochins.... These are DEFINITELY NOT silver laced. Not laced at ALL. Im thinking Lavender Cochins most likely as they have this gorgeous purple tint. One of them is almost CERTAINLY a rooster. Its very protective of Our White OEGB (snowball) who i cant separate into another group, as she will NOT tolerate it. Has to have her Big Buddy to hide under.
These Two Will Be Labeled "1 LC" and "2 LC" they do not have names yet.
NEXT up. I have Three, whats supposed to be Sapphire Olive Eggers. These guys are ALLLLL SUS. I dont want to jynx it but im not to optimistic right now..They will be labeled with GREEN and as 1-3. No Names. I have seen That OEs tend to have large combs at this age even? Not sure
i Could NOT get a better pic here this trio dont like to be held.
THis is My Mystery .. I have no idea what she is But shes just SOOO pretty. Not named Maybe anyone knows what she is now? Pretty sure shes a she with that comb
This is Either a Jersey Giant or another Breed im not sure. BIG and HEAVY. Has this little red patch?
This is 'Buck' / "Ruby" she is a Buckeye i think, and i was pretty sure she was a rooster up until her comb just... hasn't grown at all no red at all. Is this normal for them? I know they have Pea Comb style? i dont know anything about them so some breed information would be helpful!
Now for the most ANGRY little creature in the world. This is Snowball The OEGB, Very positive hen here, buuuut the personality gives me Rooster Vibes
Heres the Bearded Bunch. Love these little guys they are sooooo pretty. Very docile Excpet for one of them. Im almost SURE that #1 is rooster. Could all use some names!!
SO thats the Family! Drop Name suggestions and gender ideas!! Give me facts or fun details about the breeds! I want to learn about how people have done with these breeds in their group.
