    Hoping these two are hens? And breed thoughts

    They look like girls to me!! Are they "squatting" when you approach them? You may have said and I missed it. After my girls did the famous "squat of maturity" it was a week before the first egg. Beautiful birds.

    Sexing Barred Rock Chicks

    Left is definitely a pullet....jury is still out for me on the other...looks like a little roo but I had a female with a similarly irregular spot. Do you have pics of their legs and feet?

    I would think at 11 weeks any males would be showing larger, pink combs. I have 2 BR pullets that are 13 weeks and they still have small yellow combs..the neighbor has one the same age with a much larger much pinker comb...I can't really tell in the pictures...woukd need close ups of the combs.

    Yeah....I understand that...but look at Red star chicks...IF she could be considered as such (which she cannot) she looks just like a female.I took a look at her wings since she is still young enough and there is a definite stagger in the feathering...but I am also aware that wing sexing doesn't...

    That's what I read and figured but thought I'd ask....that little red one looks so much like a red star pullet at hatch. Crossing fingers.

    What about these little ones? Daddy is a RIR/WLH...red chicks momma is a red star black chicks is a BSL but has feathered feet, so crossed with something. If the sex linking genes hold true in 2nd generations I'd say these are both girls.....what do you guys think? One week One day

    Ok new friends....first off thanks so much for all the help over the past few days! Now that baby has hatched when should I give her to momma hen who has her week old sibling? I'm worried that week old baby is too far ahead and the new kid will be ignored. Thoughts?

    INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

    Got the humidity up to 70.....Chick has pipped and made a hole but isn't doing much else. I keep reading about drying membranes and such.....which membrane is the one that shouldn't look white? The membrane I can see is the one right under the shell. I am at work now and I really want to be home...
