    Hen or Roo?

    Thank you for the response! Just seeing it now. We found him a nice home with our neighbors and their hens! He’s doing great!

    HELP! Chick with yolk sac still attached??

    Please help! This chick hatched this morning, having not absorbed all of its yolk. I did my best to push what I could back into its navel, ligated and cut the rest off. The bit still hanging out started to dry, and I thought it would be okay. I went back to check on it after an hour or so and...

    Found this chicken at a ballpark and I’ve never owned one before! What breed is it? Hen or roo?

    Roosters or hens?

    Hello, all! I recently hatched some chicks from my backyard flock! They hatched on Easter, so they are about 10 weeks old! As always, I’m hoping for a lot of hens. We already have a rooster (the best one we’ve ever had), so we don’t want any more. If any of y’all could help me figure out what...

    Calling all chicken geneticists!

    It hatched from a brown egg, similar to what my ISAs lay. I hadn’t realized they have a dominant white gene! Very cool. Thanks for your responses!

    Calling all chicken geneticists!

    I’ve hatched chicks many times before, but not ever with my barred rock roo. I’ve got quite the mixture of hens in my backyard flock, including isa browns, rir, EE, and one silkie/EE cross. I’ve hatched two batches of chicks from this bunch recently, getting all black or gray chicks with the...

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    I got 8 chicks from a feed store, raised them, and then discovered that I possibly have two roosters in the bunch! They’re about 8 weeks old. I know one of them is a rooster for sure (not pictured), but this barred rock is confusing me. I think it may be a rooster. Thoughts?

    What breed is this hen?

    I got her as a chick a few months ago, but they weren't placed in specific breed groups. I was told she was a bantam, but is it possible to know the exact breed?
