    Ameraucana sexing at 6 weeks?

    Read the post above my last. They asked if they were the same birds from my original post. They are not. These are 6 weeks old. The others were from March.

    Ameraucana sexing at 6 weeks?

    No worries! I was very lucky to get these guys. No, that was long before I got these guys. These guys are only 6 weeks old. Those were hatched in early March.

    Ameraucana sexing at 6 weeks?

    These are from a breeder and are full Ameraucana. They are from Paul Smith lines. They are going through a weird growth stage but up until now have had a ton of muff. I love splash's, standard or not, so I was pleased to get so many. It would be amazing to have mostly pullets! I have one...

    Ameraucana sexing at 6 weeks?

    I have 14 Ameraucana chicks that are around 6 weeks. Maybe closer to 7 by now. I'm getting some mixed answers about what I am looking for to start to sex them. Am I right that the longer tails are pullets and shorter are cockerels? Some with the longer tails seem to have bigger, three row...

    New bantams. What kind?

    Marshmallow is a Light Brahma Bantam. Never mind. Just realized it says not feathered legs. Looks just like mine did at that age otherwise.

    Sexing Light Brahma Chicks

    I've done a search both through the forum and just Google and most of the chicks previously posted are much older but tail feathers are mentioned often and these two have different tails so... They are 5 weeks old tomorrow.I have my guess but would appreciate another opinion. Chick 1 Chick...

    A couple what breed questions.

    Light Brahma would be cool. They look like neat birds. Only one was marked as Bantam but they both are medium (not really small though) compared to my others. Neither were tiny when I got them and were the same size as my other chicks. I don't think the brown has puffy cheeks but I'll check...

    Black one has puffy cheeks and a lot of tail. It's beautiful and calm if that helps any. Looks nothing like my Australorp or Black Copper Marans, purchased elsewhere, too. It's really fluffy, though. Yes, hopefully all girls. I would be okay with one roo but prefer none. Not a big enough flock...

    Hi from Ohio!

    Hello! I have 2 Rhode Island Red Hens, several mystery babies (posted on the what breed category), and a bunch of other breed babies (Andalusians, Australorp, Marans, Sumatras, Easter Eggers and Browns). I also have Whippets, a rough collie and Mini pig.

    Match me to a breed?

    This might be fun. I've been researching breeds lately and have narrowed it down to a few that might be right for me but I'd like to see if anyone else has other suggestions. Requirements: * Not super common but doesn't have to be extremely rare. * Doesn't have to climb on your lap and sit with...

    And finally, chick 4. Labeled as Bantam. Not really that small. Feathered legs. No indication of which Bantam breed listed at TSC.

    Chick 3, supposed to be a Bantam but I think is actually a full size Easter Egger. This chick is big.

    Chick 2, also supposed to be a Barred Plymouth Rock.

    A couple what breed questions.

    I couldn't resist a few TSC babies this year and none of them appear to be what they are supposed to be. They also gave me a meat chick and called it a brown. They were purchased on 3/9. It's been very easy to walk into TSC not not be tempted after this. But I love my babies, even if they aren't...
