awww. I want a slw so bad. Maybe one day I'll have one!

haha, I'm at my limit with 9. I live in a neighborhood with an HOA so I'm technically not even supposed to have chickens. My Chickadee is a Rhode Island Red or Production Red. She has actually been getting on the roost with the big girls herself for the past 4 nights. I've had to put her up...

that stinks. If it makes you feel better I only had 1 hatch in Dec so I bought it 1 friend and then hatched more in january. The one that I hatched in Dec turned out to be a roo so I sold him and now the one I bought is super lonely because it doesn't fit in with my 4 1 yr olds or my 4 that I...

haha, you don't have to be sorry. It stinks because I really wanted a white silkie and his coloring is so awesome but I've had him pegged for a roo for a LONG time now. I think I'm 2 for 2 on guessing which of mine have been roos early on even when people have thought pullet. Maybe next time...

so I posted this a few days ago and also said this chicken was 14 weeks old but I just recounted and it's actually only 13 weeks. Here are some updated pics. I'm like 98% sure it's a roo but it hasn't crowed. Just want to get some opinions before I line up a buyer for him.

with that mug you say pullet? I really have it pegged for a roo but it hasn't crowed so I'm not certain.

almost 14 weeks.

Pullet or roo?

ya I was thinking the same thing, no one else's tail feathers look like the white ones. Well I will enjoy him till he crows.

Oh ya I won't get rid of any until I'm absolutely sure. About a month ago I had a Barred rock who I had really thought was a roo even though a lot of people said it was a hen. He crowed at 12 weeks and I had to sell him but I tried to be in denial right up until he crowed because I didn't want...

thanks for your response. I've felt for a while now that the white one is probably a roo, too bad because it's getting some nice colored feathers coming in. It just looks and acts different than the other 3. Time will tell I guess, I just wondered.

Here are some pics of my almost 12 week old silkie mixes. Sorry not great pics but hopefully you can give guesses on gender, if not I'll take better pics tomorrow. 1 white and 2 blacks, the buff colored one is an easter egger but if you have a guess on its gender that would be great too...

I am so happy my mistake didn't end with a sad mama and 12 orphaned ducklings. We also saw 2 other big ducks with them so their must be a whole flock around here I never even noticed before.

we found the mama with a 13th baby and let her have her 12 others back. They are safe with mama now! :)

Thanks for your help. I honestly had no idea I was not supposed to "rescue" them. And believe me no one has to sit here and tell me I made a mistake because the second I saw the mama run off and then fly away I knew I had made a big mistake but there was no turning back then and the babies were...

they were under a bush in my front yard. The mama was with them and I felt that we needed to rescue them but I think I made the wrong call. The mama flew off before we could catch her. A neighbor said he could hear her but we couldn't find her. How would I be able to tell if it's a rouen or...

I rescued 12 baby ducks this morning. I have them set up in my chick brooder. I know nothing about caring for ducks. I have no idea how old they are or what breed. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

Peppercorn does look like a roo to me. Acorn may possibly be one too. I can't speak for all the others.

Any guesses on my 8 week old silkies? I think the 2 blacks are mixed with wheaten ameraucana and the white one maybe with a polish. I have other photos if those aren't helpful. Thanks.
