So I have 12 chicks at a little over 6 weeks old and it's time try to figure out which is a pullet and which is a Roo. Is it too early to tell?
By next weekend the flock will be split. 6 staying here and 6 to my sister. If anyone would like to give me their input I would appreciate it.
One more question. When do roosters typically start crowing?
#1 Cochin - Name: Omelet we think she may end up a splash cochin. Hoping she is a pullet. She is the chick in my avatar.
#2 Black Cochin
#3 White Cochin
#4 Partridge Cochin
#5 Australorp 1
#6 Australorp 2
#7 She is buff with a little bit of coloring on the edge of her wings and around her neck. We were told that the yellow chicks we bought were buff orphingtons - Don't think she is....any suggestions?
#8 Buff and Tan - Thought she was a orphington as well - but unsure now.
# 9 Buff - Same as above two - Not sure on breed.
#10 All black with bluish feet
#11 Black with brown head and bluish feet. Could he/she possibly be a EE. She had some in her flock. I think this one might be a roo as well.
#12 White and not sure what breed. I think this one is a roo.
