Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Good looking birds!
Now that they are bigger I'm guessing Gold laced wyondottes, red star and white leghorn. Can you get a closer pic of the neck and saddle feathers on the white one with the big comb? I'm thinking you may have a rooster there, he might be old enough to ID by pointy feathers on the neck and saddle.

Gold laced wyondottes is correct on the darker ones. That breed was labeled. I dont know what my sex ratio is though... they were straight run.
The white one with the big comb is SUPPOSED to be a hen.... it was bought as a pullet.

Cheryl I think you might be right. I went out this morning around 6:45am to feed the chickens and that one was making a god aweful noise. I'm not gonna say it was crowing.... but it was definitely trying to project it's voice... but it sounded like it was horse with a frog in its throat.
I've read that young rooster will TRY to crow before the actually learn how. I wonder if that is what I heard?

probably. They sound pretty pitiful with their cracking little boy rooster voices! He'll develop pointy feathers on his neck and saddle if he is, the hens will have rounded feathers there. When they develop you'll be able to see the difference pretty easily.
I've got an adolescent peacock trying to learn to make the WoooWoo sound...took us a few days to figure out it was him, it honest to goodness sounds like someone one drowning a cat MmmeeOOOwwwww! LOL!

If I have time tomarrow before work (meaning if I can get up on time) I will try to shoot some video.
It was sold as a pullet... how often are they incorrectly sexed?

pretty often, they are very hard to sex unless they are a "Sex link" which causes different colored markings. On birds that the pullets and cockerals are the same color they have to sort of "pop" them only it seems to me much harder than snakes are and what they are seeing is MUCH smaller~ I've tried it with chicks, turkeys and geese....I can't do it~ everything in there looks the same to me and what it usually looks like is a little bird pooping upside down~ and I can pop snakes even little ones no trouble!

wonderfull. So far out of the bigger birds that is the only one that seems to be missexed.
Maybe all the straight run's will turn out to be hens.
