13 week hatchery double laced Barnevelder. This is my first barny. Is it true that the brown unlaced wing tips indicates male?

I adore this chick but have always suspected it may be male. What do you all think? It's a 7 week old hatchery Partridge Penedesenca.

This is Moira. I believe she is some kind of EE and and my guess is a Faverolles Ameraucana cross. She has an extra toe only on one foot and the cutest leg fringe. She's 4 weeks old but I've included pics from different ages.

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I thought it could be helpful to anyone living in Wisconsin.

I know flies have been discussed here pretty heavily but I haven't found an answer to my specific problem. We live on a heavily wooded property bordered by marshland in Wisconsin. Deer ticks were a huge problem last year so we increased our flock (free ranging) size to help reduce the tick...

On Wednesday night a bad storm knocked the power out for about 16 hours. Even though it's pretty warm, my 8 day old baby chicks were getting cold and I wasn't able to hold them all night. So, being the unresourceful city girl that I am despite living in the country for years, I did what I know...

I've used surrogate broodies to raise adopted chicks in the past and never had a problem so this is new territory for me. I have a broody that has been sitting on a nest of unfertilized eggs for about 3 weeks. She's never raised chicks before. Today I received 7 chicks that hatched on Monday. I...

Chicks collected from post office at opening this morning about 3 hours ago. All very lethargic and chilled. Got them warm and watered which has done a world of good but now seeing blood streaked mucousy diarrhea, some foamy droppings, this weird thing in the picture below, and pooping seems to...

I have 2 five week old chicks that have been sneezing for about a month. They sneeze every few seconds no matter where they are or what they're doing. No eye issues or anything. They seem lively and totally normal apart from the sneezing. Any ideas or advice would be most appreciated! Thank you :)

Still very young I know but I'm starting to think all but one of my Spring girls are boys :idunno This one is a 4.5 week old Olive Egger (cuckoo marans x CCLB I believe). Any guessers? Thanks!

These little ones are 4 weeks old. Just for fun, I see pullet (blue copper marans) pullet (mystery chick) roo (olive egger or golden cuckoo marans). What do you see? They are all meant to be girls but that doesn't mean much in the chicken world :p This is my first hybrid so maybe my sexing...

This little cutie is stumping me. She is from the Meyer Hatchery rare breed assortment. I thought maybe a splash maran but she has no markings still at 4 weeks and I don't think her leg/foot coloring is right. Sorry the photos aren't great but I'm hoping they are good enough. Thanks! Breed...

I currently live on a 20 acre wooded property in Wisconsin with my family, cat, dog, and 15 free range hens of varying breeds. We have also just had 4 new little chicks join us and are being raised by our resident chick raiser in chief a Buff Orpington named Green.
