Post pics of your chicks thread!!!

I've heard some males of breeds are randier than others. I think Herbert will eventually settle down a bit more with age. The pullets will be ok, in fact I think because he's mating them, will help spur them on to laying.

These guys are almost 6 weeks old now. This is a white rock.

Left is a columbian wyandotte. White chantecler or white rock on right.

Easter Egger

Buff Orpington. These guys are a lot harder to photograph these days!

I just bought 26 Ross Cobb broiler chicks, day old and I put them into a dog cage beside Marmalade and the three babies who are in another dog cage. As soon as I had put them in Marmalade ( who is a small bantam who fits about 10 eggs maximum comfortably beneath her) was calling them and they all squeezed through the narrow bars of both cages and ran under her and she is now sitting on 29 small chicks! She looks really flat because she has spread herself out so much and although a couple are sort of poking out the sides she is managing really well. It was so funny to see them all one by one filing through the bars of the cages to this very small hen who was herding them in!!!!

how did you know the gender?

These are the pictures I took when we first got our chicks, I had no idea what gender they were then. Now they are about 2 months old and it is VERY clear that we have a rooster, haha.
