They are beautiful, and I wish I could help, but questioning my own knowledge of sexing mine. Good job mine are cute and staying regardless. (They are the first and for the moment the last ones hatched from my own birds.)

Is there a skill to catching your teenagers to put them to bed? Besides the chase! The older girls are grain oriented, the babies too, but the teenagers enjoy the freedom when the big girls have gone to bed lol. Chasing teenagers is tiring, though to his credit, tonight it wasn't the young...

Thank you, I've been calling my girls hens when they're technically pullets. I hatched all mine so they were in the house and my 3 cats got used to them, but they wouldn't have survived without being contained. I guess a lot comes down to how they fit into your life. So long as the dogs are...

Stupid autocorrect. It should have said maran. She's certainly not laying the same colour egg she came out of. If I'm wrong and she's not a Maran, can anyone clue me in? Sorry it's not a great picture. Legally blind, so I just point and shoot lol.

She's very beautiful. From what I'm seeing in the replies it seems I may have a copper marine. So chuffed, the eggs were just sold as 'various'. And one of her babies has her colouring too. Very happy chicken mummy.
