My Delaware Flock, Isaac & the Ladies (Newer Pics Below)

Haven't posted pics of my Delaware crew lately. They are about 29 weeks old, I guess, except the one older hen.

I was told these were cornish, good eggs and meat. I need a second opinion

I was told these were cornish hens an roo and would provide good eggs and meat. these birds are 10 weeks old and spare like game birds. A poor picture, can send a better one. Can someone remark on this? The original owner also had been crossing other birds with american game. http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/fd82658548003087a334838e3a217b450bd41673.jpg

Blue & Splash Orpington Chicks... So, Pullets Or Cockerels?

feeds@yuku.com (speckledhen) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:25:51 GMT
I'm pretty sure the regular splash is male, but not 100%. The bluish splash in the first four pics seems female, but I need input on that one. The blue is almost certainly a pullet, IMO. These are 7 weeks old now.

Blue Barred EEs.. Sex These for Me

feeds@yuku.com (speckledhen) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:13:31 GMT
The most confusing are the BR/Ameraucana crosses, the blue ones. They have very pink combs at 9 weeks old, but then, I've had several pinky combed youngsters this year who were pullets. Their body types look hen-ish to me, as do the tails, but the combs are throwing me.The first three are the same bird and the most confusing because the comb looks boyish, but when you pick it up, it does a sort of squat in my hands like an older pullet would do--never had a cockerel do that. For...

What breed are these hens?

feeds@yuku.com (Clucky) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 17:50:08 GMT
I was wondering if someone could please tell me the breed of the hens in the image below. I already know what breed the rooster is, but I was never able to figure out about the hens. I'm showing one of them in the fair this year and I have to know the breed. All of the hens are the same breed. They're slightly smaller then the average chicken, are clean-legged, hard feathered, and lay white, medium eggs. I was thinking they might be Old English Game?

I have no idea what breed this is... Do you?

feeds@yuku.com (herbalmama) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:03:17 GMT
I recently was given some hens from a friend and can't figure out this breed. She is smaller than a standard hen, but not as small as a bantam. She is black with green sheen (like a black australorps) very small comb, her feathers on her neck are long and almost look roosterish, and she has a fifth toe. I thought it was a spur at first, but she has no other signs of being a rooster. Haven't seen her lay yet...

Breed? What's a breed?

feeds@yuku.com (treegod) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:06:06 GMT
Actually I'm joking. I know what breeds are, but if you looked at my chicken coop you might think differently, it's quite a mixture. I said in another post I have eight breeds, it's interesting to see what comes from this mixing! One of those eight (a hen) was hatched before me and my girlfirend took charge of the coop from a friend and so may herself be a mix. She's our sense of "continuity" in the flock and our top rooster is hers from last year.
We're...

Do You Know These?

feeds@yuku.com (treegod) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 09:54:31 GMT
I have a coop with a mixture of eight breeds (14 birds in all, four of which are hybrids). I don't know what breeds they are and it's diffcult to know where to start. I live in Catalonia, Spain and I think that some or all of them may be local.

Here are three of them, do you know what they are? I'll get more photos in the future.

Will these still be Isa browns ?

feeds@yuku.com (Beaufortchick) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:01:44 GMT
If I breed a Rhode Island Red Rooster with some Isa Brown Hens do you think they could still be sold as Isa Browns?

Buff Sebrights?

feeds@yuku.com (dsacco) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:04:59 GMT
Anyone know DECENT BREEDER of buff sebrights? My daughter did really well at the local 4-H show last week with her little buff and she LOVES her!! She wants more - but I wanted to check to see if there are any breeders that do buff ones.

I NEED help with New Hampshire Reds PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear, I am afraid I have messed up. I was at our local fair where for the first time I didn't win above class. My New Hampshire Reds weren't even considered (I was the clerk-I had to bit my tongue as he passed them 3 times to see others) After the show I asked him about the problem with the Reds. He said age and coloration, another man walking close to the cages made a smart remark out loud about "whoever entered these birds didn't even know what a New Hampshire Red...

Silver Laced Polish Hens? Yeah, Right!

feeds@yuku.com (NewMamaHen) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 08:54:18 GMT
These are my new little twins. Purchased them at the Mercantile in April and followed all of the protocol to integrating them into my existing flock of 6 hens. They are adorable and beautiful, but Polish? Not so much...any ideas?

Thanks!

Brahma Chickens - Partridge/Golden Pencilled

Heel low:

Has anyone produced gold pencilled (a.k.a. Partridge) Brahmas?

I believe I have produced two young pullets that will mature into Partridge bantam Brahmas. I would post a jpg if'n I could be told how to on this forum. These are a F2 generation cross from an F1 Dark (Silver Pencilled) Brahma Bantam hen x Buff (Gold Columbian) Brahma Bantam cock--done to improve type/conformation in my Darks which have awesome pencilling (genetics from a fellow with 60 years...

Is he a rooster?

I ordered 50 Hens. One of my Golden Comets is white. Is he a rooster? He/She is at the bottom and they are 6 weeks old now.

Spangled Russian Orloffs anyone?

feeds@yuku.com (bluroze) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:00:50 GMT
If any of you out there have some pics of Spangled Russian Orloffs, male and female, at around 13 weeks age, could you please post them? I'm trying to figure out if I've got the two pullets I ordered or if one is actually a roo in disguise.

boy or girl?

feeds@yuku.com (marandam5) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:00:11 GMT

This is a 9 week old B.O. I have some that you can tell they are for sure roos and some with small combs that are for sure girls,but there are a couple that I'm just not sure.I do think it's a roo,but in hopes that I'm wrong,I wanted a second opinion.

This is my first post so I would also like to say hi to everyone!

Red Shouldered Yokohamas

feeds@yuku.com (eggcentric) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 20:43:20 GMT
I impulse bought some Yokohamas (red shouldered), three weeks old. Straight run.

Can anyone tell me what they're like for 1) laying, and 2) temperament.

Not having them from day olds, they seem a little flighty, but are starting to calm down and not hate me. They're going to be added to my mixed flock I think, so I'd love to know what they're like (besides being purty
