    HELP! 2 week old chick shaking head with distress noise

    Hi all! I have four 2 week old chicks hatched from my broody hen (not my eggs). All 4 have been healthy and integrated into the flock with mama’s protection. Today, I noticed one of the chicks acting lethargic and not always following the group. The chick was repeatedly going through a sequence...

    Dominique (5.5 weeks old) - cockerel or pullet?

    As far as I know, yes. This Dominique is a hatchery chick, but from our local island farm store which always seems to bring in fairly good quality overall. Perhaps because it’s HQ, the coloring is off?

    Dominique (5.5 weeks old) - cockerel or pullet?

    What do you all think? The coloring shows up a little lighter in some of the photos, but it’s mostly accurate.

    Salmon Favorelles pullet or cockerel

    Might be too early to tell, but thought I’d get some opinions here. This is a 3.5 week old HQ Salmon Faverolles that I’m curious about given the darker feathers. Thoughts? One of the pics includes my other SF chick that looks pretty clearly female to me. Chest feathers are coming in light right...

    Hi all! I posted awhile back on this one, but posting an update to get feedback now that this little girl/guy is older. 9 week old abated Rock - do we think cockerel or pullet?

    Hen growling and puffing up, but not laying in nest

    Not right away. She started doing this after we had been introducing them on and off for over a week. She does it when they are not around as well.

    Hen growling and puffing up, but not laying in nest

    I have a 9 month old pullet who is a consistent layer and normally docile. In the last two days she has been growling and puffing up at everything - me, my hubby, the other chickens, and the new chicks (8 weeks old) that we have in a separated space in the run during the days (no contact). She...

    Barred Rock - Cockerel or Pullet?

    Hi all! I posted about one of my chicks yesterday, but now have another that I’m questioning. This one is a 6.5 week old Barred Rock. Pictures make him/her look a bit lighter, but he/she looks darker in reality. However, comb and wattle color and development seem highly questionable. Legs are...

    Cockerel or Pullet?

    I assume cockerel, but thought I would check in to get feedback. 6.5 week old Easter Egger. From what I have read, it seems most black & white Easter Eggers are male. Comb appears to have 3 rows. All signs point to...? My guess is cockerel.
