I would love your thoughts on sexing these Olive eggers from Fat Hen Farms. Pea combs are tricky for me. They are 7 weeks and 5 days old.
The first (black) is a OE x OE and the second (blue) is a F1 “Broc” OE. Thank you!
And comparison pics between this cockerel and a pullet from when they were younger. You can see wattle development in the first set and the cockerel is on the left in the final picture.
This is my first time hatching Wheaten Marans. This group is 3 weeks old. In another week I’m sure it will be more obvious but does anyone have any thoughts? I have 7 chicks and they all seem like cockerels to me.
The first one (two images) I know is a cockerel based on feather color and...
Thank you for your help in advance! I have a 10 week old Buff Brahma and I’m having difficulty deciding if it’s a cockerel or a pullet. I know they are slow developing so it can be tricky. Recently I’ve noticed brighter orange (and shinier) plumage coming in underneath the feathers on “her”...
I should add that one of the darker chicks has very poor autosexing qualities as it has a head spot but is feathering in with pullet colors. One of the lighter chicks I’m sure is male but the other two are up in the air. Thank you!
I hatched these Cream Legbar chicks from a breeder. They are supposed to be 100% legbar from the Jill Rees and GFF 2013-14 lines. However, three of the five that hatched are very light and don’t have as much of a down “crest” as the two darker chicks. They aren’t recessive white- they have...
Thank you for your help! Supposedly with Wheatens you can sex based on color since the cockerels are so different from pullets but I’m not experienced! So far I’m really liking this breed!
I have four 4-week old Ameraucana. They could be Wheaten, Blue Wheaten, or Splash Wheaten. I would love any help or opinions on their gender. Thank you!
Okay! The comb seems to me to have gotten slightly puffier, especially at the top but the color hasn’t changed significantly. At times during the day it is extremely pale. This bird is definitely the bottom of the pecking order and is not bold or confident in the least. What do you think?
