Hi I have already introduced myself in the new members section and I am interested in finding more out about my flock.. Hope you can help We recently got two new chicks and are worried one may be a roo.. I have already taken one roo back because he broke the rules too many times and his crows got just too good (these two 6 wk old chicks are replacements) and we have a 18wk white sussex roo who needs a home soon before he gets noisy... Anyway here is a photo of the two new chicks, the black one I am told is a austrolop cross and the other is a maran cross.
This is fluffy who laid her second egg today we are also wondering if anyone can tell her breed thankyou...
Hope this helps they are sleeping now... Can anyone shed any light on my grey hens breed she has laid two little white eggs now.
On your chicks, the Faverolle looks like a rooster, the other one looks like a pullet. I think your hen is either a mix or maybe a Blue Marans.
I'm thinking that your two chicks are pullets (though I'm not as sure on the reddish one). Your hen is likely a lovely mixed breed.
Well fingers crossed, I'm staying hopeful...Thankyou!! I forgot to mention fluffy has an extra toe on each foot and doesn't have full feathered feet just her outside toe, she likes to growl a lot especially when picking her up she is very noisy maybe she is part cat she sounds more like a cat than a chicken.
