    Shannon Marie, if you are looking for birds that are 5 to 10 weeks that will make it a lot more difficult. Most people seem to sell young chicks or full grown birds and more than likely people will be trying to rehome roosters, not hens. I'm not sure where in NY you are but have you tried...

    My 4 week old chick. Do they always look this frazzled? Any gender guesses or too little still?

    I've been slowly (so many pages!) reading this and trying to catch up. Just wanted to post and make sure I don't lose the thread since when I subscribe without posting I don't get updates. I posted these elsewhere but here are mine: It is amazing how much different they look in the past week...

    Well TC by your theory that one white one and the silver partridge look to be roos (oops, I guess I was a day late getting that info). My other 3 big ones appear to be hens, and the 4 itty bitties I didn't want to dig out of the RI chicks because I was hungry, lol

    Silkie thread!

    I take lots of pictures and have been reading through chunks of this massive thread, so hopefully I can start to piece some stuff together... I guess I'll be waiting a while to see if you're right on the roo, 1 wouldn't be bad if he's not obnoxious...

    sick bird? weird poop

    I don't want to over react but I don't want to ignore a minor problem and have it get bad. At least one of my birds poop looks like this I did catch it in the act (i suspect it is a he, about 6 weeks old now). Here are some pics of him as well taken today. The bird looks and acts fine.

    So what you're saying is much like gender the color can be a big surprise too! NBD, I'll see how black this black chick looks and make a judgement call. It varies with them by the day too, sometimes they look more black, other times less. Natural light would be a better way to tell but I live in...

    Silkie thread!

    I figured it was mostly blues, I just wasn't sure if the dark ones were actually black or a dark blue (blue confuses me, it does in dogs too). I just didn't want to grab the black chick if I had some already I am curious to see what the one in my hand turns in to since it seems to have some...

    Silkie thread!

    I'm really bad at this color thing so I figured I'd ask the experts. I was told the light colored big one was a blue, are the 2 other larger ones black or blue? Also is this one I have singled out a white or a blue? Basically is this a box of blues? I found another local person who has some...
