My White Plymouth Rock lays light brown eggs, cream colored pretty much. She has been laying massive eggs recently so will see if I can find a pic of what my hens layed so you can see for sure what her egg color is.
Yeah I cannot stop thinking that it's a cockerel even though its comb is not that developed and not as pink as the other hatch mate. But the pattern is looking more and more barred😩.
Now I’m wondering if maybe the first pic is the father. But the pullet and cockerel both have a single comb, which makes me think the rooster in the way back in the second picture is the father. But now looking at the rooster with the buff coloring, that one would explain Vicentinas buff...
This is Mocha, he exhibited fast feather growth and so did Caramel next to him, Colonel Mustard, the yellow chick in my avatar pic was exhibiting super slow feather growth, so I assumed she was a he, but the joke was on me, both Mocha and Caramel (in the first pic) are cockerels and Colonel...
The hen is a pure breed White Plymouth Rock, the rooster could be a New Hampshire/RIR mix, but since New Hampshire is basically RIR, I just said New Hampshire roo, will try to find a recent pic of the cockerel and pullet, my hen is molting right now so not looking that nice, and the rooster...
I have a White Plymouth Rock hen I crossed with a New Hampshire rooster. What kind of cross is this? Is it also considered a black sex link even though my rock hen is white? The red sex links I looked up online don't look anything like their offspring. The pullet looks like a featherless feet...
The hen in img_1724, she has golden coloring instead of the red of the roo and the black feathers in the neck, which neither parents had, but the rooster's mother did. The other White Rock offspring is also exhibiting similar coloring, but it looks barred, so it's making me think its a cockerel...
UPDATE: in the first picture, you can see my 2 cockerels, Billy and Alan. Alan seems to be much bigger than Billy but Billy is already starting to want to crow; his dad crowed at 7 weeks. I really hope Alan takes his time to crow like Messi, his uncle? Idk how chicken genetics work, he crowed at...
Yeah, basically from the beginning we thought that Alan and Billy were boys, they started to chest butt each other at 2 weeks and at 4 weeks their combs and wattles became even more pronounced. We had also thought that Vincentina and Valentina were cockerels, but they have not developed bigger...
Here are Wilma, Alan and Vincentina, originally Bo but was later named Vincent but we think she is a hen so Tina for short, in the first pic and Billy in the second pic. For some strange reason Billy has that scraggly look about him😂 even though they all all fed the same.
We rarely pick her up, only when she is on the wrong side of the fence to throw her over. After these 2 episodes happened, she decided to go broody for 2 days and is now back to minding her own business and doing her own chicken thing. Although she is more noisy than before, but I will attribute...
After I posted this, I have been keeping an eye on her and after those 2 separate days of spitting up water, we have not seen it happen again, so they were isolated episodes we attributed to gorging on water and then bending down to eat food. She eats, drinks, poops and lays like normal. For a...
