Hi everyone,
About a week ago a friend went and picked up our chickens. He was told they were all pullets about a month old. I am now thinking I have more than half cockerels. My 2 that are buff Orpingtons I am sure enough about, they have a nasty temperament and just look like boys to me
and bigger combs than any of the other breeds I have. I need to get more pics of them all to post and get opinions on. The rest are 2 black Australorps (hope I get the spelling right on all these
), 2 Ameraucana and 4 Barred Rock. I think these are split on gender by breed pairs. How reliable is going by looks like a girl/boy in face/head? That's about where I am on the Auracanas and the Australorps. Same with the Barred Rocks except I read somewhere that the pullets are darker and that goes with my guess of which are the pullets in my group of 4. Any advice is welcome... I am taking the Orpingtons to him Friday to return but am undecided on the others that I *think* are not pullets...
Thanks,
Kim
