    Rhode Island Red - 15 Weeks - Pullet or Roo?

    Hi all - I have two RIR teenagers that are around 15 weeks old. One looks very much like a pulley - light colored, developed tail feathers, no comb or wattles yet - but I have this other one that’s quite a bit darker and a bit bigger, too.

    Barnevelder - hens or roos?

    Hi all, I have a couple of ~7 week old Barnevelder chicks. I know sexing is hard (particularly for this breed) but would appreciate any insight into whether these two are roos or hens. They’re developing pretty similarly so they probably are the same sex. Chick 1 Chick 2 Any help would be...
