fstringer Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi I don't often post on the site but thought I'd show you my chicks. I was really lucky in that 5 out of my 6 eggs hatched. Unfortunately the 6th died whilst hatching. We are now in the process of waiting to see if there are any cockerels. My daughter is trying her best to find any clues as to whether they are hens or not. Would anyone like to guess whether they are a hen or a cockerel.

Lewis Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I aggree the first looks like a boy, they're all standing up tall but that shouldn't mean too much . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstringer Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks for the guesses. They are a maran (pic 1), 2 x white stars, a cotswold legbar (pure breed) and a buff orpington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks for the guesses. They are a maran (pic 1), 2 x white stars, a cotswold legbar (pure breed) and a buff orpington. A Cotswold Legbar is a hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 i agree with everyone else the first chick looks very manly. not sure about the others although i think the third from the left in the group shot looks like a girl. not much help i know but it's not easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikkee Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Awwwww, cute pics. I love chicks! Sorry to hear that the 6th died whilst hatching, but these things happen. -at least you didn't get too attatched. How old are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I'd say 1st pic - boy 2nd pic L-R girl (?), boy, boy, boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Lovely pictures. I don't think there's much doubt about the 1st pic, just look how he's standing - boy In the 2nd picture, going left to right, I'd say girl, boy, not sure, boy.

Settie Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The top one is a boy but I think the others are girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks for the guesses. They are a maran (pic 1), 2 x white stars, a cotswold legbar (pure breed) and a buff orpington. A Cotswold Legbar is a hybrid Fiona's eggs came from our girls......it will be a pure breed Cream Legbar......but I only wrote CL on the egg , the Whitestars were crossed with the Cream Legbar cockerel and I thought one egg was from the Buff Orp, but that will be a cross as well as we don't have a Buff Orp. cockerel. They do look gorgeous though - we have two broody hens at the moment........... - I might let them sit on eggs...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
