Yes, they are wyandottes. I always get my birds mixed up, lol. Kinda glad he's a rooster though, I think even though very different breeds, all their colors are great together. Him and his 4 gals seem to stay together everywhere.
My EE who is almost 15wks now. He/she has made no attempt to crow, even with another crowing rooster here, so back to wondering if there's a chance it's a pullet. I love the colors he/she is getting.
Streeeeetch!!
Green tail feathers starting to come in, look so cool in the sun
If he is a he, the other 4 are his girls. You can't get these 5 apart, they hang all day together away from everyone else. 2 are light brhma's and 2 are silver laced cochins, but they all blend in together nicely i think
Glad to know he is a roo then. I let my son take some of our birds to a FFA show at their school yesterday. My birds have never been out of our quiet backyard, but I thought no big deal, he really wanted to do this project. Well a horse went nuts kicking at a cow, the cow got loose, kids were running and screaming. All seemed to turn out well, the cow was caught, the kids were all fine. When I got back over to wear my birds and son was we noticed our rooster was panting hard and had his wings kinda spread but limpy. I got him out and put him in my lap and tried to give him some water and within just a few mins he started jerking and just died in my arms, I was so devastated. I only had 1 roo and he was great. Good hawk alerter, made sure all the girls were in on time and well taken care of and good with kids. I sure hope this new roo then can be as good as he was, my girls really seem depressed w/out their man to protect and take care.
