WHAT ARE WE?!?IM SO CONFUSED?!?!we have a boy....i think...but who?

[verycherry]

I was thinking all girls too, but after that last set of photos, picture number 5 is questionable.

The hackle feathers are kind of pointy and long around the neck. The other 2 at the top look like females. Just not sure about #5. You should be able to tell soon though. Are the saddle feathers getting long near the tail?

My cockerel started crowing a few weeks ago, he's about 16 weeks now. His comb did turn bright red about the same time. You chicken's comb doesn't look red yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it's a girl.

I have 3 females and one male EE. You can click on my website link to the left if you want to see pics and compare.

Dubbed means they cut the comb, they normally only do that on OEG and OEGB's for show. But EE's have pea combs which are normally small. Calvin and Peepers are looking boyish- curving tail, thick legs, and it looks like peepers pay have pointy saddle and hackle feathers.

Well now seeing the updated pictures, it does look like you may have one boy. But I could be wrong. Where did you get them? Did you buy them as st. run, or pullets?

im telling u got a few boys,sorry
another reason for cutting of the combs is the roosters that have to big that they cover one eye, there combs can through off there balance,
and theres also cutting of the earlobes, this hampers there crowing, or for a good gromeing look, for shows.

 

[Justino]

nope, theyre natrual lol and i bought them at my feed store as sexed girls

some times hens crow especially if theres no rooster but be careful that she begins to lay!
