I have two little 12 week old chicks. I don't know if that's old enough to tell the gender but I think one is turning out to be a cockerel. The speckles are developing quicker and s/he is a little more assertive than the other. The first two are the possible male and the second two are the...

This is Snowball, my 12 week old Silkie. I'm hoping she's a girl but her tail feathers are starting to worry me. I've heard how hard it is to sex Silkies, but does anyone have any ideas?

This is Poppy, 10 weeks old. Do you think she is a pullet or cockerel?

Any feedback would be great. I heard recently from someone who says they give spoiled milk or yogurt and other foods that have gone "bad" to their chickens. Just the thought of feeding my girls something I won't eat myself makes me cringe. What do you guys say?

I have two chicks, about 6 weeks old I think. I got them from a meat market shop so I have no idea what breeds they might be. They're probably just mutts, but if you guys have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. This is Bertha, but I think she might be a he! This is Elaina. She doesn't have...
