Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

[ReluctantChickenOwner]

I generally look for cockerel specific feathering and comb and waffle development. I had a Wyandotte pullet in the bunch (not in the photo) so it was easy to tell the difference between the two.

Here are a couple photos.

View attachment 3241090 Very early on, Zoro’s comb was bigger and more red than the pullet’s.

You can see the pullet in the top right corner of the photo has very little comb or wattle development. (I had two pullets, but I gave one away)

Hopefully this helped.

Thanks. They are very cute! I'm thinking mine is a cockerel. Unfortunately if so, I can't keep it. My Marans is a cockerel too.

Thoughts on picture?

This is Amelia, my favorite chicken who I just lost today to cancer . She was so sweet, curious and adventurous. She was at the bottom of the pecking order but didn’t seem to care, perfectly content to venture off on her own and into the neighbors flower beds. She just *had* to be in my feet anytime I was in the yard, convinced that whatever was in my hands was absolutely a treat for her. I’m going to miss her

I'm sorry for your loss. She was a pretty girl

How old is (s)he? The comb is very pink and lots of wattle development so I would say cockerel. Can you get a side profile photo of him?

Nyx is a favaucana, some of them lay blue eggs.

According to MyPetChicken Favaucana is their exclusive cross. Nyx came from Meyer.

I don't know that Meyer is doing a similar cross though I don't think there would be any legal reason they couldn't. If they are someone really screwed up which incubator they put the resulting eggs in.

Mixed results... Isis the bearded lady and her sister Willameena Wonka.. Both from my copper marans hen and K.E. the chief bantam here.

This is Barney, their nephew who is now chief of the aunts.. Amazingly all of them are as friendly as can be and come up regularly for pets.

Ah, I mixed them up— Meyer sells green queens, which are also faverolles x ameraucana crosses, they’re just second generation. And, being a cross, not all of them lay green eggs.
