    Is this a pure RIR rooster?

    He is absolutely a RIR, not a Buttercup. A buttercup would have white earlobes, green legs, paler plumage, a different comb, and a smaller size.

    What breed?

    Probably a red sex link mix. The white tail is what I am basing this on. Red sex links have the dominant white gene that covers black coloring but not red. However, red sex link cocks are mostly white, which is why I think it must be a mix.

    Help Identifying Thai / Oriental Gamefowl Type for Future Breeding Consistency

    Thai game fowl of some kind seems right to me, but I am far from an expert on Asian game fowl. I would try to find different stock to breed these with because they may be siblings. If you get unrelated stock you could line breed them. The rooster especially is beautiful. You could also cross...

    Help Identifying Thai / Oriental Gamefowl Type for Future Breeding Consistency

    Yeah, it's never simple, is it? If I read Thai I might be of more help, but you pass along what you can in here.

    Introducing new chickens

    When they are really young it's not as much of an issue, but at 5 months, yes, they are going to go after the newbies. You can just put them in there to see how it goes. Sometimes the unexpected happens. If you do that, it seems to help to do it at night, and put the new ones on the roost bars...

    Help Identifying Thai / Oriental Gamefowl Type for Future Breeding Consistency

    I did a google search on Thai game fowl, and AI gave a brief explanation, but it seems a lot more complicated than the information they have on the topic. I did find some pictures, but to me the different types all look pretty similar. I'll post a few of the pictures I found. Basically, I...

    Is this a pure RIR rooster?

    He's a production Rhode Island red, not a heritage RIR. Looks good and healthy, and his daughters should be good layers.

    Gender of this RIR x Lohmann Brown

    Even though the photo is taken in shade, I can see a little shininess in the shoulder feathers. I think. If so, that's male specific feathering. I do think this is a late blooming cockerel. In addition to the other things already mentioned, the patchy color pattern looks male to me. Let us know...

    Gender of this RIR x Lohmann Brown

    I agree that better photos would help. I'm guessing it is a very late developing cockerel. Mounting other hens, especially at a young age, would be uncommon for a female.

    Gender??? 3 mos black sex link/wyandotte mix

    The black one with the rose comb is 100% male, since he has male specific feathering coming in. The blue one with the single comb is kind of in between. By comparison to the other, I also think it could be female, but it is fairly well developed in the comb, too. I really think the answer...

    Wow, gorgeous speckled eggs all around.

    Boys or Girls? Bantam polish 6 weeks old

    I think females based on their crests, but it's pretty early for Polish. Watch the wattles. Color or growth in that area before 12 weeks or so probably means a male.

    Pretty Rooster - any guesses on breed?

    He looks off for a blue birchen Marans to me, but could just be hatchery quality, if they carry that variety. He does have the white skin.

    What Breed Are These Girls?

    Do they have a few black feathers sprinkled in? That is a trait of California whites.

    Chanteclair sexing question

    I agree that it is too early. You should look at redness of comb and what wattle growth is present over the next few weeks to identify males.
