Ok, the chick in front of the fresh sign is 1/2 that has no secondary feathers. The rest do. Is that how you can tell? I'm sure there is a lot more to it.
How can you tell the black ones a cockerel I thought the same thing because if the way he stands. I told my husband he looks like a Roo but am no expert at all! If I got a picture of each one individually would you be able to have a idea this young on the gender of these cuties? We want to keep...
My broody hatched out 7 EE eggs with a EE Roo. The other eggs were GLW And a RIR. Anyways, 3 hatched out with grey on them. I haven't had any grey chicks before. If someone else has some experience with the grey chicks I'm curious will they keep some of the grey? here are a few pics. We have a...
One of my EE's lays a light cream almost white egg. She doesn't have the pea comb my other two blue layers have. They are still yummy and she's a great layer 6/7 or 7/7.
I had one that didn't crow tell he was 6 half months and another @ 19 weeks. So yes each one is different! The one who took the longest we had from day 2 of age but never really let us cuddle him much always stayed distance and started to flog my youngest child. He passed and we ended up with a...
Blessed with our first colored egg on Thanksgiving. 'Blue', our EE (originally purchased as an Ameraucana), is 5 1/2 months, we weren't expecting her to lay this early! [/quote it's so fun getting the first egg! Your hens coloring and pattern is very similar to my GLW. Pretty and congrats !
So then maybe Lucy would work? I will take pictures of the other hens tomorrow with a close up of combs. I would be interested to hear which hen you guys would suggest.

I also have a black Australorp. She's still young. 16 weeks, when did your lady start laying? I love ours she's actually my favorite! My lap lady. What a calm good personality !
If I wanted to save my EE eggs to hatch with a broody. How would I store them? And how long can I store them with...
I'm a newbie, even though I come from a long family of farmers. However, they have all passed. I did do it to look pretty but had no idea it's a no no. How come? I'm really interested! Especially because I have a few I am hoping to go broody. My bantams, When that time comes I will do more...
Well I got 3 blue eggs yesterday from two blue layers . So I answered my question. Even though my rock did it I was a bit confused due to the 2 Nd layer just starting. Would explain the two eggs in one day. Yeah for us more pretty eggs!
