    Gender- 12 week old olive egger

    This chicken is throwing us for a loop. The comb filled in and turned red early on, but hasn’t grown much for several weeks. Plus at 12 weeks there has been no crowing, no obvious saddle feathers, and acting no bossier than any of my other feisty pullets. I’ve been able to tell with our other...

    7 week old gender help

    I read somewhere that pea combs that show three rows are often indicative of cockerels and the EE/Ameraucana chick is the only of my pea comb group that has the three distinct rows. The photo doesn’t show it well. That and the hackle feathers are making me question the gender.

    This 6 week old chick is getting a red comb and wattles much sooner than the other pullets we have. This is supposed to be a female but I know hatcheries have a margin of error, so I am wondering if this might be a male. Thanks for any help!

    Mystery Chick

    Hello! We are starting our first flock and very excited, but when our chicks arrived the hatchery sent one extra which looks different from all the others. The breeds we ordered were Golden Laced Wyandottes, Silver Laced Wyandottes, a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, and White Leghorns. This girl (or...
