How hard is it to sex barnyard mixes?
EE x BB. Tentatively leaning towards pullet, slightly smaller than the other. We actually thought it was a BB x GLW, until the muffs showed up. Came out of a pink egg laid by a 'muffless' EE.6.5wks old.
EE x BB #2 Thinking roo, but not sure. Hatched out of a blue EE with muffs. This one has A LOT of green feathers, like the BB. The first one has minimal green in the black. 6.5wks old.
This EE hen has been broody for about a month and a half. She did NOT hatch these 2-our GLW did. But when they hit 6wks, she left them on their own, so they adopted this hen as mom.One of them might be out of her egg, since she didn't go broody until after the GLW.
Our BB rooster. He's going to become dinner, to give the girls a break. The EE to the right of him might be the blue egg that hatched, but we're not positive.
Our other 'muffed' blue laying EE. The Austalorp also had an egg hatch, posted later.
1 of our pink laying 'muffless' EE, possibly the hen that laid the EE cross pictured later.
BB x Australorp. When 'she' was hatched, her feet were black on top, while the bottom, and half of the middle toes were yellow. 4 wks old.
BB x EE, muffless, so far. From the white hen above. Pink egg, no muffs. 4 wks old.
Our little cockerel, a BB x SS. A lap chicken. lol! 4.5wks olds.
