Well your 'blue mottled' is most likely splash

Honestly, your frizzle looks more like a rooster then your black. The frizzle has some red, yet the black doesnt

How old are they? If they're 7 weeks they look like all pullets

ome of the red look may honestly be the lighting. They are 7-8 weeks old in those pictures. People said the "blue mottled" was likely a splash. I thought it may end up a splash when I got it as a chick but the way it has colored in has me confused. I always thought the splash would be more white dominant with the colored splotches and that chick right now looks more blue based with white splotches. Guess I will just enjoy watching how she feathers in! My goal was some color variety in my flock and I am getting it with these chicks!

Guess getting better pictures is a definate must.

If the combs are that yellow, at that age, they're crazy to saw cockeral

Yes, better pics would 100% conform the sexes

Get a better pic of the 'splash' heres an adult splash

they can have more blue too (Less spots)

As you can see its kinda a lavender blue base, if you get a full body pic of the 'splash' it would be easier

So, we sold the play-set and now need a shelter for the goats !!


Anyone have pics of their shelter's they use for goats? How to insulate one? How well do goats fair in like -40 weather? Last year was a fluke for -60 so i doubt we would get that. How to keep a goat warm?

What have you people been up to?

So, GOT THE PICS !!

This is Danny, our cochin cockeral for tonight sporting a partridge coat. He is a real sweety and cannot believe i used to tell him i hate him and to behave (when i found out he was a rooster) but now i kiss him to bed!!

Not the best pic but look at those tail feathers !!!

Okay, on to Oleo

My butter button chicken ! Shes soooo sweet, and sounds like a duck when she squaks !

LOVE HER! But dont have many not blurry pics xD

Cute pic of our cockeral cochin sporting a red frizzle outfit, he is handi-capped with strange toes (that you can see) but he'll make you smile with his 'out of earth' expression, and cute feathers !

The weird thing is sometimes hes REALLY curly, and sometimes his feathers just flop around..

This is Joey, our pullet cockeral xD, shes a pullet but even tho her breed (brahma) is known for being bullied, she is head hen! She likes to challenge the 2 roosters !! Shes a sweety even tho, and when shes old enough i think will overthrow Domino, our current PURE EVIL head hen !

This is Domino, the evil 2914 old hen who is pure evil..but shes head hen !!

LAST PIC OF THIS EVILNESS!

Now, here is Gryphon, our OEGB mix rooster ! BEAUTIFUL !

Er, why wont it show up? Its my fav pic in the whole world ! Heres a blurry version of it

The other one was cutetr....xD !

And heres Nugget, our sweet layer who lays nicely

sorry, dont have many clear pics of her xD

Course you'd be happy for me to get sheep !!! Okay so their dorper crosses, but their REALLY mixed. Their 5 months old actually I think. Would they still be on milk? I really need help, cause when we get shelter, we get them !!!

Nope , no milk. Our ewes start "weaning" at about 3-4weeks. I say "weaning" because they really don't completely wean them for another 4weeks.
As for a quick shelter, I've seen a three sided shed made of pallets with another pallet on top for a roof. Granted this was a summer shelter for market lambs that were gone by fall.

Thanks, just read a thread, 'Got a lamb (and a lot of questions!)' and saw they can be succesfully weaned at 14 days

Well would they eat hay, grass, sheep creep (WHAT IS THAT????) and what should i ask the lady? Be ready to help me while you can, I'm just starting on the questions

As for shelter, we need one to house 2 full grown sheep crosses (main stream breed is dorper) in perhaps -40, to -60 weather (wont be needed for sure, but always good to be safe)
