I need help with the gender and breed
Gold sebright cockerelBantam Golden Sebright? Pullet or Roo. Was given to me by my neighbor the first week of May. She got it from TSC. I’m new to chickens.... I’ve been googling and this is what I was thinking it was.
Thinking Cornish cross. Are you planning to slaughter them, or try to keep them as pets or layers?Again... neighbor gave them to us. From TSC. I’m thinking these are Cornish x? The one with the more yellow legs confuses me bc the legs are much more yellow than the other two and more like my leghorns coloring... but much fatter.
Cuckoo marans pulletLast one. Barred Rock? Hen or pullet? Got her beginning of May from TSC. Thanks so much!
I see. This thread might help you with your decision: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/cornish-rock-chick-raising-as-pet.1295952/.Thanks for all the help! I really love the Gold Sebright, I was trying not to have any roosters in my coop due to my neighbors. I may just keep him because he is so beautiful. As far as the Cornish, I have read up on them I understand that they can get feet problems the bigger they get, and I definitely don't want them in pain. One of them is the sweetest I have out of my flock and comes right to me and sits on my lap. I have a friend that processes them and feeds her family, so as much as I want to keep them I am thinking I will give them to her to process. Thanks again for all your help!
Rhode Island reds and a partridge Chantecler. All cockerels.Hi there! I’m so excited to find this thread! A friend called me about 4 weeks ago and said he had three young chickens that have just been hanging out in his porch. He brought them over and they are doing great, except two of them refuse to roost in the coop with the other chickens at night because they are at the bottom of the pecking order. Anyway, one of them has a walnut comb and the other two have single combs. I’ve attached the best photos I have at the moment. If I get more today, I will add them. The two single combs recently have started trying to mate with my hens, but the walnut comb has not. Any breed ideas?
