New to BYC. Loving all the info. Have had 4 chickens for two years. Just expanded with 6 new chicks. 2 BR, 2 white otpingtons and my neighbor just gave me two I don't know what they are yet. Here they are and I'm pretty sure they are pullets.
Thank you. I'm not sure about age. My other 4 chicks are about 7 wks old. So they are at least a month older. Here are my Orpingtons. Any idea when I will know if roos or hens?
I agree. After some research I'm thinking speckled Sussex and Plymouth rock. The Plymouth rock just snuggles into your arms. So sweet. A young 21 year old girl loved them as chicks but was tired of them pooping in her moms garage. Poor chicks didn't know dirt or grass. They were a little confused first day with our chickens, but now loving everything and acting like chickens
I agree with your one girl being a SS. Here's a photo of one of ours, ours are 1 year old now so a bit more mature in appearance than yours:
Love the SS, great tempered girls and so pretty. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do ours!
Nice to have you join us and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you. The SS is new but she is so pretty and curious. I have 3 golden sex links and one buff Brahma. She is my favorite.
. The golden sex links lay almost every day. I love it. The Brahma is pretty regular too. Out of my new six chicks I know I have one rooster. He is s BR. Waiting to see what Orpingtons will be. Hopefully hens. I love my little rooster. So brave and watchful. I've handled him the most and he is so tame. He's like OK let's go walking around. My 4 kids love it all. They all have a favorite and named them.
