My ameraucanas - wheatens are the girls and blue wheaten are roos. Haven't started laying yet but I have my fingers crossed for beautiful blue eggs.

Na, don't think you missed as much as I have. I'm 753 pages behind on here. Just found y'all. Looks like a fun page. Is it okay if I tag along in the mischief making?

Herro, people I am not familiar with.

Velkommen! You are so lucky I'm here. These other folks are a little crazy.

That sounds like me... except I hide them from myself...

I'm watching these 2 eggs like a flockin haybale...

How are your pippers doing?

Well, today I got to feel like sc a little. lol Woke up to chirping(permeated my dreams), left to work, came back and had 4 babies out. lol Up to six now.

Sending good hatchy vibes your way:

At about what age were you able to tel
At what age is it easier to tell with them? I've been pretty sure my little one is a cockerel so he's (?) in the fattening pin with the other for sure roos. If he is a she, I need to get her (?) out of there.

I could tell my glw really early,

I'll compare your pic with my bird and take a new pic of him/her in the morning....I really don't want a hen in the roo corral.

I have wyandottes down now. They did take me awhile, being my first babies, that I hatched. I was convinced one was a boy as it had a very red comb and wattles from really small. No its another girl. But this is good as I only had one pullet before them.

What do you go by? i am feet>feathers>wattles>comb, but this is doing me no good. lol

I've got a wyandotte mix that I'm pretty sure is a cockerel...however I only had the one hatch. He (?) got a redness to his comb about the same time as his susex mix brothers, has much much thicker legs than any of the pullets, and in other ways just acts like a little man chicken. He's about two months old now too. I wouldn't be able to tell by coloring alone, maybe. If I had more of that mix to observe, it might be easier. His daddy is a plymouth rock, partridge colored.

Sounds like that may be an interesting looking bird.

Here are my efforts yesterday. They run around like lunatics.





The rest were hiding up in the coop.

Ha! Trying to photograph my chickens has led me to the realization of where the expression, "Guess what? Chicken butt." came from. Like a revelation from below.

Welcome to the madness!

If you get

then yep, you can stay...

Oh, crap... you just reminded me I'm out of coffee... didn't make it to the store today since I had a welcome distraction, lol...
The beard issue annoys me, had to let Oz know... just irritating but his type is so good I will keep going with him...

I would like to see him/her. Mine are 8 weeks now.

All of the above. When I realized the glw was a boy for sure, I think something clicked.

Cool. Maybe something will go off in my head too. . .

@gachooks, he or she is very neat looking. I just wish I had more, with the rock in there I was hoping it would be easier to tell the sex of the bird, but with no one to compare to....
On the other hand, my faveroles mix with the same daddy were much easier to sex at a very early age. The females all had dark stripes through their eyes and/or darker heads, the two boys have very light heads and dark chests.
