    help with genders? Silkie/EE mixes

    im back again! thinking i have all pullets (if so, it will be the luckiest ive ever been on my chicken journey), but the red one is making me question myself. it really is more of a red than a brown but it looks so pullet-like otherwise. flat comb so i cant judge by that but still looks pale...

    help with genders? Silkie/EE mixes

    Thanks everyone! I hope they are all pullets, and that would be the most luck I have had in a while! A surprise purebred wyandotte (only one roo and 2 hens in a mixed flock of 25ish) turned out to be a cockerel but that's it. I gave 2 chicks to a coworker so I don't know how those turned out...

    New Hampshire!

    i do remember you posted that and its helpful information, but id only use it as a last resort. I prefer finding them homes where they can live out their life, but if i cant find any, ill probably bring them up there but its quite a drive for me.

    New Hampshire!

    So all 4 of the chicks I got at TSC turned out to be cockerels. And worse than that, they are not barred rock like they were listed, apparently they are sex links. Anyone want them? Lol located in Newport
