I have a blue Ameracauna, that's about six months old, and i cant tell if this is a roo or a hen. Ive named it Smoke and it hasnt started crowing and ive had it since about four weeks of age. My first Ameracauna, actually. Can anyone take a guess to the gender?

I have two painted silkies that I've had for about 2-3 months. The hen went broody and was on four eggs. Unfortunately, three were snatched and I brought the last remaining one in here to hatch in my incubator. It just wasn't safe outside. The baby hatched, and clearly is only part-silkie. I...

I have two Polish hens, a buff laced and a Tolbunt. The buff laced is 22 weeks old and the Tolbunt hen is almost nine months old. Over the last few days, starting with the Tolbunt, the behavior has been.. not lethargic, but withdrawn. The tolbunt has been eating and drinking but generally wants...

This is my first time hatching eggs and raising them myself. Ive always had a broody hen to do that for me. There are fourteen in the incubator due to hatch Saturday, 14 of them. After they hatch, whats the best course? I have a brooder I made myself, with the lamp included. Ive heard silkie...

I've had chickens for a long time. Other than possums, ive never encountered any other predators where I live until today. My chickens free range, and at night they're safe in their pens. Today, a hawk swept down and almost snatched my little d'uccle rooster! And I wasn't standing that far, so...

My friend back in April bought a blue Ameracauna hen.. so she thought. This chicken is super small, and is almost six months old. Pretty positive its also a rooster. Anyone know if im right and if so, the breed?

So, I bought a batch of fertilized eggs for my broody hen. The eggs were a mixture, of Barred Rock eggs, Wyandottes, Marans, Sussexes, Orpingtons. All my chicks developed normally, and are five weeks old.. except for this one. I have no idea what it is, and there werent any frizzle eggs in that...

My mother recently purchased this little Polish from the feed store about 6 weeks ago.. I dont normally like chickens from the feed store, but this little guy has a lot of personality. We arent sure about what kind he is though. I have blue polishes and none look like him. Anyone have any idea?

These chicks were hatched six weeks ago by one of my hens. The eggs were a mix and consisted of Ameracaunas (There were two, only one hatched), Black Marans, Heritage Reds, Speckled sussexes, and Wyandottes, but I don't know which one is which except for the Black Maran, but I can't tell the...

A few weeks ago I lost my four month old female.Alsterlier hen. She was fine one day, lethargic the next and dead by that night. The rooster that came with her is still healthy as a horse, and none of my other chickens have gotten sick since. They are protected from rain and are on medicated...

My (mostly chocolate) Orpington named Candy went broody three weeks ago, so I bought her an assortment of fertilized eggs to put under her. She started hatching sometime yesterday (though the due date was for tomorrow). So far, I have five that I know of. Sorry for the grainy pictures!

I bought this boy today. He's four months old, and the lady that got him said she thought she had all hens, until he started crowing. She told me he was a Sumatra, and I knew 95% that he wasn't when I saw him (maybe I'm wrong and he is but I don't think so), but I bought him anyway because he's...

Just bought today! To go along with my two other polishes. Four months old, but not sure of the gender. Can anyone tell?

I have an Alsteirer hen that I bought May 6th. She was four months old on the day that I purchased her. So she's now 18 weeks. She's been a very gentle, but skittish chicken, though very healthy. For the past two days all she's been doing is sitting, either in the henhouse or out in the pen...

This is my little baby. Not sure what he/she is yet. I was wondering if anybody could tell.

Does anyone know about what age these roosters start crowing? I have a sweet boy that I've affectionately named Foghorn, and he's pretty quiet. He has been since I got him. He's about eleven weeks old, and he's never made a sound, not even a peep.
