My singular chick Two days old but only just beginning to not look like a floppy limp blob. Poor thing had a rough start when his egg got crushed...

Aw, glad he made it though. What breed?

Can't say just yet Either pure Barnevelder, Barnevelder X Sussex, or 3/4 Barnevelder 1/4 Sussex
I don't think he's full Barnevelder as I don't remember any of my Silvers looking quite like him...
I should also be able to work it out based on his leg colour. Barnevelder X Sussex his legs should stay white

Everyone's flocks are so beautiful! I have 15 chickens.
For hens I have a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte named Margarita, a Rhode Island Red named DixieCup, 2 Green Queens Muckalee and Georgia, 2 Ameraucanas Mama and Peanut, 2 Welsummers Sunburn and Friday, Black Copper Marans Lucchese and Whiskey, a Buff Orpington Dusty, a Barred Rock Senroita, an Ancona Flint, and a White Leghorn named Cottonwood. I also have a Golden Laced Polish named Luke. He's a butthead, but my boys love him and his "long hair".
If you haven't guessed our rooster is named after Luke Bryan, and all the girls are named things he sings often about in his songs. If you have ever listened to Luke Bryan you know you can't make it threw a song with alcohol, we are about 20 miles or less from Nashville so only makes sense to do something with country music!

Sounds like a lovely flock!! And your naming theme is great

Thanks! Hoping what he is gender wise? Well a girl would be nice so it can stay I do just tend to default to calling them something regardless of whether it's correct or not If it is a pure Barnevelder then he's sexlinked male... but I have a good feeling he's actually a cross, so normal 50/50 chance
Hoping what he is bred wise? I have no preference

Thank you! I have been a big fan sense I was a teenager!
I meant gender wise Than I hope it's a girl! If I ever hatch eggs I would probably hope for girls too, we can only keep Luke, and he's enough of a handful.

I love roosters but I'm beyond my limit right now and can't keep a little crossbreed boy for no reason
Your boy does sound like a handful! And honestly I understand because I know a few terrible Polish boys I've yet to personally meet one of the amazing ones polish fans go on about

I also have a Golden Laced Polish named Luke. He's a butthead

Wow, I also have a Golden Laced Polish! His name is Cow Bunting. He sure is a handful, and has been really acting up lately, lol.

My boy is soo loud, he crows all the time. Even when we get up at 3am to go hunting he hears us and wakes the ladies up with his crowing. Also anytime the girls sing the egg song, he has to sing along too (part of why we decided on Luke) And he leads them into our woods when free ranging which we would rather them not go.
