I looked those up, they're so pretty! We've been out of town for a few weeks and he was just getting a proper gold rooster ruff when we left...I can't wait to see what he looks like now. I think I'm starting to understand the chicken math thing, bc this guy has me thinking about building a 3rd...
Hi, so sorry to hear about your little Ginger. Raven looks mostly like a Black Wynadotte, if you google it, see if that looks like the kind of hen you're looking for?
The mom might be black Wyandotte mixed with black Orpington bc we got her with a few black Orpington chicks. So you think I could tell whoever adopts him that he'll probably produce some chicks that look like him?
thank you very much! We don't have room for a 3rd rooster permanently but we're going to keep him until he gets his adult feathers to see what he looks like.
This (11 wk old) cockerel is from a Jubilee Orpington rooster and a (maybe? mix?) black wynadotte/Orpington hen (last pic, she carries the mottling gene and has produced some black with white mottling chicks). He was very slow to feather, and his feathers are as iridescent as they look in the...

Hi and welcome! If you get chicks then you can at least be certain that they're young. Also, they're lots of fun to play with and take care of, especially if you only get a few. I find 3-5 chicks at a time is easy to care for.
When the chicks run up to each other and size each other up, is that indicative that those chicks are males? I have 5 two-week old chicks and only some of them seem to do that facing off behavior.
