New to chicken raising but am so loving my little Flock!

[Teila]

G’Day from down under deedledumpling1 Welcome!

Aaaw, gorgeous teenagers!

I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share more Pictures and Stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Extremely lovey, almost crawls onto my lap. I will post photo of my Roo (which is crowing), and the white spotted one which I would love confirmation on but think is Blue Splash Maran. She has feathered feet and the dark gray spots and talks to me non stop!!View attachment 1232384 View attachment 1232384

The Pale Gray looks like a female to me. .judging by her crown, it's pretty pale and the darker one as you've stated that's crowing is an absolute male! The white spotted one looks female to me and definitely looks to me like a splash Maran. .Maran's have lightly feathered legs. Beautiful birds!​

Oh thank you so much!!! That's so encouraging! I don't think I could handle 2 Roo's and the thought of giving up one of my first babies breaks my Heart! You are the Best!

I agree that the pale grey one is a pullet. All the feathers I can see on her back are round. At 14 weeks there would be a lot of pointed feathered on neck and saddle.

Thanks so much Red Horse! That makes me very happy! I can only handle one Roo with only a total of 5 at this point, and she is so cuddlesome. I appreciate your responding!!
