If it is sixteen weeks or more, I think it is a girl. It will take a while for the feathers to grow back.

Only 12 weeks. I have 2 of the light brahmas and this one is bigger than the other and the comb and wattles just started turning about 2 weeks ago. We have a silver laced wyandotte and at about 7 weeks his comb turned and 2 weeks later his wattles came in so we have known he was a rooster for a while. That's who we think plucked out all the tail feathers. This is our SLW at about 8 weeks.

Ohhh

 

[bobrut]

where are you at, Hippiechick?

 

[bobrut]

I just got in some fertile eggs by mail, should I let them sit for a day or put them right under the broody hen?

 

[Chaos18]

Let them rest.

they are so pretty. I want lavendar orpingtons, but I won't pay what some are asking for them. We just want them for pets. We have 2 possibly 3 roosters that we might have to part with also.

AuroraDream and I both have Lavender Ameraucanas and will almost certainly have chicks to sell this fall or next year. I have never had Orpingtons, but I think Ams have most of the benefits, plus blue eggs!

Oh, and I should have bantam lavender Ams, they are really cute little things, they remind me of doves.

It's the next logical step after chickens and turkeys.

That and ducks!

And goats.

Just spent a couple hours putting up 450'+ of being so they can start working for me clearing brush.

So if I've got chickens and ducks and I've tried turkeys, which is next. Goats or peafowl?
