Pretty sure our sexed Polish is a cockerel. Feathers are fairly rounded and poof is too… but those waddles 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh good -- didn't know it was that late. Guess we'll keep waiting! Thanks

We love this sweet Ancona but are still unsure on gender! He/she is 11 weeks old. No quacking-- still peeping like a duckling? Is this normal? No drake feather- any other ways to tell. We're 99% sure the welsh harlequin buddy is a drake!

Hmm let me hijack my own thread then... These are from the same EE barnyard hatch. 1) Almost 100% that this is a hen. 2)Some Silkie in this one. 3) Number one of the twins 4) Number two of the twins Thanks!

Thanks-- good news is it makes me think the four others whose combs are barely pink are hens!

Pretty sure this is a cockerel! Any ideas- EE barnyard mix- 9 weeks

6 weeks old

Yes- #6 is questionable to me too!! No saddle or pointed feathers though-- would those be in yet? 5 wasn't on my radar - ill have to take another look tomorrow! Thanks for the help so far!!

These 6 chicks were hatched by 2 of my hens but the eggs came from a friends farm. They are barnyard mixes from an EE Roo, a Silkie Roo and a leghorn Roo and a bunch RIR, EE, Silkie and rock hens. Basically they are mutts!! The obvious cockerel #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 questionable!! Awfully...

Rainy day today and when I got out to the run our 2 week old WH had this injury :( It isn't bleeding but is raw and red. Any ideas on what happened and how I can help her? Eating and drinking just fine--walking around with the others ok

Great thanks so much!

I have an 8x6 coop and a 15x15 run. How many chickens would you think would comfortably fit in here and stay warm in the winter. I have 16 chicks right now (5 bantams and 11 standards) but have a feeling I need to sell a few as they are getting bigger but I want them to stay warm this winter. As...

ooo Splash --hadn't thought of that! What age can you tell on Silkies?

What color is this little one?
