    3 Week old Barred Rock Suspected Roo?

    My two barred rock chicks are now almost 3 weeks old and I'm suspecting one is a cockerel... which is ok, because I want to keep him. From what I've read here on the forums, a lot of white barring means male in barred rocks. First 3 photos of the suspected roo and last two photos of the darker...

    Still Not Sure of Sex & Breed at 4 Months!

    Here is Stella at 4 months. I'm still wondering if she may be a cockerel because of her big legs and comb/wattles. No crowing, no pointy saddle feathers at all... all rounded feathers, and no cockerel behavior at all. In the past month her comb/wattles have reddened up and gotten larger and...

    What Color Would You Call This Ameraucana Pullet?

    This is Lacey and she's 6 weeks old. I'm assuming this pretty little girl is an Ameraucana, Easter Egger or something like that because of her green legs and tiny pea comb. She was yellow with dark chipmunk markings when hatched. Now she is pale grey overall and has a very subtle grey pattern...

    Is this Barred Rock Mix a Pullet?

    I posted pics of this chick at 3 weeks a while back, now it is 5 1/2 weeks old. Everyone thinks it is a barred rock mix. I agree, the neck feathers really look "laced" instead of barred now. Very pretty. It is the same size as the BOs of the same age in the pics. Still hoping for a hen! What...

    My White Leghorn "Pullet" is getting Buff feathers on Her (his?) Head!

    What I thought was a white Leghorn pullet chick is 4.5 weeks old now, and today when she (he) jumped up onto my lap, I noticed definite BUFF colored feathers coming in on her face, head and front of the neck!! She is pure white otherwise, heavy bodied, heavy legged and not slender like a...

    Is this a Bantam Brahma Chick? Can You Tell Gender from Color?

    Hi everyone! I love this section of the forum. :) I got this chick from a private breeder as a Light Brahma pullet. She/he is 4 weeks old now and is about half the size of the other chicks (BOs, BR, etc), so I'm wondering if she/he is a bantam? There were many breeds on the farm where I got...

    Barred Rock at 3 Weeks... Pullet or Cockerel? Updated Pics, Chick now 5 weeks old

    I'm really curious if this chick is a pullet or cockerel. It's a little over 3 weeks old now and really feathering in. When I got her/him at 1 week, I picked out one of the darkest of the group... it had a lot of black fuzz then. It's head is getting lighter, but the comb is not noticeably...

    Cure for Chicks picking on Each Other?

    I'm sure everyone has had this problem at one time or other. One larger chick just won't stop picking on a particular smaller chick. I'm not talking about an occasional peck... I'm talking about a meanie Buff Orp 3 week old pullet that goes after a 2 week old RIR chick with a vengeance. I...

    What are the Breeds of these 3 Chicks?

    Here are more pics of my little flock of assorted chicks. I'm trying to guess what breed and sex they are. Chick 1 has fuzzy little feathers on it's legs and white wing feathers coming in ... a Brahma of some kind? Hopefully a girl. Chick 2 is all black with a whitish chest and belly, along...

    Gold Star? White Leghorn?

    Anyone have an idea what breed and sex this chick is? This chick was in a group of assorted chicks (supposedly all female) I got this week. Not sure of it's age either. Feathers are white, but down is goldish yellow. There are two Buff Orpington chicks in the group, but they are definitely...
