Egg-citing Guessing Game: Pullets vs Cockerels in My Flock of Nine
Seven 9-week-old Ameraucanas and a guessing game I can totally get behind. You've got a flock of nine, two of which you know for sure are pullets (those sneaky barred rock crosses gave themselves away), leaving the rest a feathered mystery. I love the stakes here, you can only keep two, and you need to be certain they're hens. That's not just fowl play; that's smart planning. Anyone want to take a cluck-tastic guess at which are pullets and which are cockerels? It's like a feathered puzzle, and honestly, I'm here for the chaos.
Speckled Egg Mystery: My Barred Rock Is Leaving Me Clueless
Well, here's an egg-citing mystery that's really ruffling some feathers. A first-time flock keeper has four eggs daily from seven hens, but that fourth egg is a real head-scratcher. The Barred Rock is acting suspicious around the nest box, yet her eggs have always been speckle-free. Meanwhile, the Olive Egger should be laying green or blue, not light brown with speckles. But here's the thing, chickens love a good fowl play surprise. Plymouth Barred Rocks aren't known for speckled eggs, so our money's on the Olive Egger pulling a fast one. Genetics can be cluck-tastically unpredictable.
