poachedegg Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I am guessing that Beyonce and Rihanna are boys and Lady Gaga and Pixie Lott are girls - what do you think? Hope the photos are ok - it was a bit difficult as they wouldn't keep still! Beyonce - Rhode Island Red Rihanna - Silver Sussex Pixie Lott - Lemon Cuckoo Orpington Lady GaGa - Silver Laced Wyandotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Beyonce isn't a RIR - he/she looks very like a jubilee orpington to me if there are no feathered legs How old are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible, we added couple of day olds as a couple that we hatched were deformed/died and where we got them from were a bit mixed up! No feathered feet. They will be 6 weeks on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I think you are right on the sexing - boy, boy, girl (assuming her comb is smaller than Beyonce), girl (slightly hesitant as I'm no dotte expert and its a bit sp"Ooops, word censored!"ly feathered). The only thing I would say on the girl orp in particular is that there is still a possibility she will grow a comb! Its always harder when you only have 1 of a breed, there's nothing to compare it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 The first two look like boys The third one doesnt seem to have a normal Orpington single comb.... if it does and its just not that clear then its probably female I'm not sure about the last one - I have given up trying to sex silver laced dottes completely, I have one at 13 weeks that I am still none the wiser about and previous batches havent been any easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
