Newbie Intro


I too am new to BYC and pretty much the chicken world. I have recently aquired 15 red cuckoo orpington chicks. Can anyone tell which ones might be pullets and cockerels from markings at this age. 2 weeks old. Some have the chipmunk stripe down the back and head with eyeliner around their eyes. Lol. Others are lighter with no markings at all except for the cuckoo effect in their wing feathers. Any help?

Glad you decided to join us. Sorry not sure about the chicks. Try reposting under what breed/gender forum and you'll likely get an answer. Also, why not start your own new member into thread to get more welcomes.

Sorry I am not good at guessing breeds - many breeds of chicks can start out chipmunk marked& do a complete turnaround once they grow their adult feathers. They may need a few weeks before they give off some clues.
