I did consider that the yarn wouldn't last too long. I'm hoping to redo with real netting next spring with the help of some kiddos. They just weren't available when I got my hawk scare and decided to go with the yarn temporarily...so far, so good!

The entire flock is 35 strong with about 10-12 known roos. just so disappointed that the cochins are roos, too.

Yes, the others are all roos....some I hatched and that was not as surprising but the one I specifically ordered to be a lady is not....nor is his brother.....that's surprising. :barnie

Thank you for that...I hadn't looked yet!

Can someone verify that the bird in the front left is a roo? I ordered 3 ladies and I think I got two roos. The one in the back (not the barred mix) is one of the others. I thought Meyer had a guarantee on their birds as far as sexing them. Thanks!

They are so cute! congrats!

Thank you so much for the great reply! I've already got 2 windows to install, hopefully this week because that was bothering me. I think I'm going to install a solar auto door, not sure on that yet. I'm definitely going to go with the pvc feeders....I have 30 chickens in that coop which seems...

They are about 9 weeks old and thank you!

Another set from the eggs I hatched from a BCM rooster and assorted hens...(I believe she said the hens were "pure" varieties...her goal was olive eggers. These two "blue" birds have beautiful color and one has a short crest. I'm so hoping they are both ladies. The birds in the first pic have...

Thanks for the suggestion, sure hoping it's not another boy! I have plenty right now! ;)

BCM roo over assorted hens...her goal was olive eggers. This looks like barred rock, but has a crest? Do you think boy or girl? Approximately 8 weeks old. What other breeds are crested like legbars? Thanks!

What do you think of these? I'm almost 100% sure the first one is a she and is NOT 100% BCM?.....I know the farm I got them from was running a 100% BCM roo with BCM hens, and other assorted pure hens...barred rock and not sure of the others...Her goal was Olive Eggers.

I will definitely try to get pics because I will need help picking who the best breed rep would be!

Well the nice thing is they are 100% BCM maybe not show quality, but should make pretty babies...lol

Wow, I think I may have 8 BCM roosters! I think they should be easy to rehome tho....I plan on keeping one. Will decide who stays when they get a bit older. Thanks for the help!
