    Still unsure of sex @ 16 weeks!

    Same here. I'm almost wondering if the front half is a pullet and back half is a roo. We are in the city, so for 11 weeks we've been falling in love with this chick and have no idea if we will need to get rid of him or her!

    Still unsure of sex @ 16 weeks!

    I have posted a few pics along the way, but still a bit unsure on this chicken. Not any bigger or smaller than our other 3. Comb hasn't grown any larger in the past 6 weeks-ish No wattles VERY large green tail No spurs Unsure on saddle feathers (they just came in recently) No crowing So do...

    Also, when will I be able to tell 100%? When they start crowing? When is that?

    Pullet or Roo?

    It is either straight Welsummer or Welsummer Ameraucana cross. Her/his comb hasn't grown much in the 5 weeks we have had them Here is a pic at 5weeks:

    Pullet or Roo?

    The chicks are 10 weeks old now and still unsure on this one. S/he has the 3 rows in it's comb and I'm starting to see green feathers in the tail, but no red waddle, no spurs, and no crowing. ??? S/he is the sweetest bird, definitely not aggressive. I really want it to be a hen because that's...

    Feathers missing on a Roo's back?

    Our chicks are about 8 weeks old and I'm not sure if this one is a roo, but s/he has a more pronounced comb than the other 4, so I assumed. S/he is also the first one to the door and will peck at anyone trying to get in. But just a few days ago we moved them from the house to their outdoor coop...

    Need ideas for a coop in the city

    How do you clean up the poo from the sand? In that small coop I use cedar shavings and just scoop it all out and toss it in a compost pile. Do you just rake the sand?

    Need ideas for a coop in the city

    We are in the city limits and only allowed 4 hens, so a few years back I bought a pre-fab house from the farm store. We moved to a new place that is completely fenced in so the girls are allowed to roam free (when the dog isn't out) but it came with a dog run on a concrete slab so I just put...

    Welsummer: roo or hen (4weeks)

    We recently picked up 4 chicks from a lady and I'm unsure what to think about the welsummer we got. S/he has the light chest that is telltale of a hen, but that comb is pretty pink and I'm just not sure. What is your guess?
