Hi There,
Hatched these Lavender Ameraucanas from eggs I got from a breeder in Texas. They hatched within 1/2 of one another, and I am testing my skills on sexing, and would appreciate your feed back.
I am believing the chick on the left to be the pullet by the feathering coming in. The...
Already the size of my Isbar pullet hatched 9/15 and my California White pullet hatched 9/1
We "think" this is a Cockerel, are we correct? He/She is very "fiesty" with other fowl, but so very sweet with us.
taken with a flash, as it was very rainy today.
What was I thinking hatching a clutch out this close to cold weather? Even in AZ we are extra cool, early this year. None the less, these lil guys will be spending their chickhood in the house with us! However, this lil Copper Black Marans has been the highlight of the evening entertainment...
They were sold as Ameraucana, but after much research, I believe only the first one is with his slate legs, the second has the tell tale green/willow shanks indicating EE.
My question is: What would be the color of chick one with the slate legs? Brown Red? And is chick 2 considered Blue...
I know they are slow feathering, but I am seriously wanting to become as knowledgable as I can when it comes to the Bantam Cochins. I "happened" into ownership of a Bantam Silver Laced Roo. He's absolutely hysterical with the standard breed pullets. I recently purchased him some (hopeful)...
So as I've admitted in other threads, I am addicted to my chicks and their maturing. It's so much fun. Because, I am so literal-it's hard for me to determine the color of these Ameraucana Pullets. They are definitely pure bred as their shanks are white not willow like EEs. Tell me what color...
I know it's hard to tell, but looking at these photos can anybody see if there are any "secret" indications?
The first pic is of my two Blue Bantam Cochins, though there is quite a difference in size; they were "supposedly" hatch the same day. Tuesday July 8th. BOTH have feathers, I am guess...
I finally figured out this is a Dark Cornish; but thinking it was a pullet-"she" stirred it up with the Roos this past weekend AND now I'm thinking Rooster. Please help me. The tail feathers seem more Rooster to me.
I was told these were Easter Eggers at first, but the feed store said they were Hamburgs. Yesterday, I noticed the rose comb and possible rose comb? This would change them back to Hamburg and possible Wyandotte, correct?
Full on Rose Comb with point
My Hamburg Cockerel right? HELP??
Is this...
She has willow shanks...hoping for Sicilian Buttercup?
Dark Shanks-started out completely black and then this beautiful rust came in...just gorgeous!
I believe this to be a CA Gray? I was told this at the feed store.
White is booted barred Plymouth Rock, "supposedly" and my Booted...
I decided to pick up 6 "show" chicks and work with our local 4-H kids get involved with showing...can ya'all help me identify breed(s)
I have one with a red head and plummage of Sicilian Buttercup standing on Willow Shanks (shanks not pictured)
I was able to ID the Bantam Mottled Cochin
I...
