Who is my Rooster… Picture Heavy

[happyhens120]

When I had NN's, my girls were the first to look cockerel-ish. I would definitely say NN is a pullet. She'd be redder in the face/neck if she were a cockerel. I can't see any other signs of roos in the other pictures. I know next to nothing about silkies, but I would guess it would be one of them.

You have a silkie rooster possibly 2. Seperate them for a couple weeks and see if that takes care of the fertile egg mystery

Looking again, I'd confidently say, keep brown/red one (with naked neck) away from hens for 2 days and see if the eggs have dots then. I watch my cockerel a lot, his mannerisms/face shape, they have a certain look...pretty sure he's the smooth move

That bird was my first choice, also, but it's a July hatch, if it were male it would be a lot more developed.

Naked necks are a breed, also called Turkens.

ahhh, if it gets chilly, remember to knit them little scarves, that would make my day...no, my year

Thanks everyone, I don't know who it is, but I'm starting to lean toward the Light Brahma. I watched out the window all day long, and it picked on everyone all day long. Never saw it jump on anyone, but was the only one out there bugging the others. I also went back out there and petted everyone's back. Everyone squatted with wings out, except the Light Brahma, stood straight up and tried to peck at me. So who knows.

But I guess I'm getting an incubator for fun. Any suggestions on a good one for a newbie, that isn't like $200 bucks.

I started with a still air Little Giant. Had horrible hatch rates. I got a Brinsea Octagon... it is fabulous! I bought it directly from the Brinsea website and they were running a special. I didn't buy the extreme version, but I have great hatch rates now. Best of luck!

You can get a Farm Innovation w/ fan and also a turner of the same brand for under $150.

I'm thinking of getting a Hovabator Still Thermal Air 1602. It has really good reviews for a basic incubator.

I always recommend a GQF Genesis , I have the 1588 model, it has the big view window. I absolutely love it. It's about $135 dollars, so not "cheap" but it's well worth it.

Do you have a picture of your Brahma?
