12 weeks

Trying to help a friend figure out the sex. Bird was bought as a straight run chick from a feed store. 12 week old Delaware. I’m leaning towards cockerel but that is still a small pink comb…

We were given a bunch of mixed breed chickens so we have no ideas on breed but we’re having a hard time sexing them so any help would be greatly appreciated! They’re around 3 months old

This isn’t an emergency post, it is more for others who want to see what this looks like on a chicken. I finally have confirmation and just wanted to share. She (12 week old Lav Orpington) presented with one leg out in front of her and unable to walk on it and was very thin. As you can imagine...

I feel like I’m on high alert being a new chicken mama and after losing our ten week old girl about 2 weeks ago. After Mae died (vet and we weren’t sure what was wrong but I suspect Marek’s or Newcastle Disease. Truth is could have been any number of things). I started my other 4 girls on corid...

12 week old silkie. Can someone help identify the gender?

12 week old bearded silkie. Can anyone help identify the gender?

I went to collect eggs and found two eggs that were speckled. I currently do not have any adults that would normally be laying speckled eggs yet I have two girls that are 12-13 weeks old. One I’m not sure exactly what she is and the other is an easter egger but I know it’s highly unlikely that...

Okay! Here’s my hopefully all-pullet bantam flock. 1) Mille fluer d’uccle 2) Green queen Easter egger 3) porcelain duccle 4) barred rock 5) buff Brahma I can get better and more specific pics.

Hello, I am heartbroken having to type this but I have 3 silkie chickens and we recently discovered one is a rooster. We were told that he would not crow but that has not been the case and we are not allowed to keep crowing roosters in our location. I am scared of being reported and having to...

I'm new to chicken raising and have looked at about 1000 photos of roosters and nothing looks quite like what we're seeing on our Big Bird. So here I am, asking you what you think. Big Bird is 3 months old (today) and we believe he is a white leghorn. He lives in a big run with another 3 month...

Hey everybody, The storm has taken two of my FBCM pullets already, which leaves me with just one at 12 weeks old. So if anybody happens to have any, I’d love to pick up 2 or 3 more after the storm passes. I’m located in west palm beach Florida.

Hey everyone! I'm new to this group and am so thankful to have found it. Anyways this spring I bought some Lavender Orpington chicks to add to my small backyard flock. These guys are 12 weeks old but I'm having trouble with figuring out gender. Below is Penny... is Penny a Perry lol? I have...

Our 12 week old Buff Laced Polish named Red Hawk needs to find his new home. He hasn't started crowing yet but I'm sure he will when he's a little older. When he was 5 weeks old, I saw a growing comb underneath his head feathers so he's definitely a cockerel :) The females in the group still...

Are these peckin bantem cockerals or pulleys? None crowing or layimg eggs. 12 weeks old

Can anyone help me identify for sure if this little guy is in fact a “guy”. He’s had a large comb since 5 weeks. My husband named him Rocky and brings him inside to visit every night .

I processed my largest marans rooster today at just a little over 12 weeks old. Not a huge amount of breast meat but he dressed out at a very respectable 2lb 10oz. At this age I assume he will be tender enough to oven roast, or is it advisable to cook in the crock pot?

Hi guys! I need some help/re-assurance! This is the first time I have integrated new chickens to my existing flock. My existing flock is a year old - 5 Red Stars and 3 Black Stars. My newbies are 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Americana. They are 12.5 weeks old. I built a little baby...

hello, I have two silkies, one black and one grey which I incubated myself. They are almost 12 weeks old now. The black one is definitely a male he started crowing since last week, crazzzzy! I though silkie start crowing about 4-6 month old. His comb and wattle is getting bigger everyday so I am...

Ok maybe not but I've never had one before 4.5 months or older. I have some not quite 3 months dual purpose mixed breed chicks. I was letting everyone our for breakfast when I hear this weird noise. I get to the chicks enclosure and hear my true year old rooster crow. I hear the noise again...
