Sold to me as a silkie but I’m thinking not. Perhaps a cross? 8 weeks old - thinking it’s probably a little cockerel, but really hard to tell! Would love to hear your guesses!

I just looked at your post. I’m sorry to say that I vote pretty little cockerel.

It’s 15, almost 16 weeks

It’s a roo, right? Not crowing and while I believe it’s a roo, I’m not familiar with lavender orpingtons.

These chicks are just a bit shy of 8 weeks and I have no clue! These are new breeds for me and I’m finding them more difficult than normal to guess. 2 dark brahmas, 2 buff brahmas, and 1 lavender Orpington I’d appreciate your insight. Thank you all!

My salmon faverolles and my cream legbar. And of course my stately gentleman, the French black copper Marans. He’s a gem. The girls are delights!!!

The hatchery the lady got them from as part of the over-hatch also has New Hampshire Reds and RIR. They look different from the RIR so I think NH Red or production red is likely. Thanks!

I have two - they both look like Meeker here - sold to me as Buff Orpingtons; 10 weeks old. They seem awfully red-tinted. Are they something else or is this what young BO pullets look like? Thanks!!!

That’s what the lady told me but she got several hundred overhatched chicks from a hatchery so perhaps? Maybe I should look and see if that hatchery offers ameracaunas.

This is my only suspect out of 17 (thank heavens - my last batch was 7/7 roos!!!). What do y’all think? Still too early probably, but why not?

It’s about 2.5 weeks old. I ordered all females since I hatched 7/7 roosters this spring. Lol Here’s a pic from day 2

Is anyone able to positively identify this surprise chick? Also - does the white spot mean it’s a little cockerel? Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Out of the seven chicks I hatched - four of which are most certainly roosters - these three are my only hope for hens. Would love your opinions… #1 - Lakenvelder #2 - Easter Egger #3 - Olive Egger

Omg - super helpful!!! Thank you!!! Beautiful flock btw!

And let me tell you - they are super cute chicks!!! Although I may very well be biased. Lol Thank you!

Thank you - extremely helpful!!!

Thank you very much. I really appreciate how helpful everyone has been on this site. It’s refreshing! I’m “lucky” (ha!) in a sense in that I know 3 of them are Roos (barred rock, so auto sexing) and 2 salmon faverolles (breed specific coloring). The ones that I’ll be watching closely are the...

First time chicken mom - my seven hatched about 3.5 weeks ago, so I have lots of questions re: chicken lingo. When people say that pullet feathers are more rounded and cockerel feathers are more straight, what exactly does that mean? Like the ends of the feather itself? How it fans out to the...

Oh yikes! I’m already plotting for my second attempt!!! Crossing my fingers for your wife though…
