    6 Week Old Orpingtons - 1 Roo?

    Thanks! That’s what I was hoping for. I’ve just had such terrible luck getting boys that I’m paranoid 😂

    6 Week Old Orpingtons - 1 Roo?

    My chocolate orpingtons are about 6 weeks old and I suspect one is a cockerel. Thoughts? Number 1 is the one I’m most suspicious of, but I’m honestly not sure about 2 and 3 either.

    Mottled Houdan Sex

    Just based on the comb? Or are you seeing other things as well?

    Mottled Houdan Sex

    I have a 5 week old Mottled Houdan who is starting to get a red comb. I’m concerned with how young it is that it could be a cockerel. I’ve never had a crested breed though, so I have no idea how to sex them.

    I think I hatched 4/5 Roos

    This happened to me once. Hatched 11 eggs, 10 were cockerels. The odd were not in my favor 😅

    French blue copper maran?

    She’s almost 4 weeks old now, and I think she must be a Splash. It’s odd though, Hoovers website doesn’t show that they have splash marans. I confirmed with the feedstore that the only hatchery they used was Hoovers.

    French blue copper maran?

    The chicks do look similar in some pictures, she has a single comb though. I looked at Hoovers description and it says Brahmas have pea combs.

    At what age do hens Stop laying?

    I don’t know for sure, but I think it depends. I had a chicken lay until she was like 10, then she lived another 2 years. My seven year old hen also still lays regularly, but now takes winter off when she didn’t use to.

    What kind of mulch did you get? I have sand in my run but I've been considering changing it to mulch.

    4 week old Chocolate Orpingtons

    Yes, hard to say at 4 weeks, I'm just hoping for guesses since I suspect at least 1 is a cockerel.

    4 week old Chocolate Orpingtons

    These Orpingtons are 4 weeks old, I’m wondering if there are any guesses on gender? I’ve been suspicious of two of them for awhile, but I know they’re young. Photos 1-2 are Daisy Photo 3 is Delilah Photo 4-6 is Dolly. Dolly has much larger tail feathers than the other two.

    Feeling discouraged, don't know how to help my chicks

    I’ve mostly had sex-links. My current flock is a backyard mix and a silkie. The chicks I have now, Chocolate Orpington, Cream Legbar, Mottled Houdan, and French Blue Copper Maran are the first I’ve had of these breeds. So hard to say opinions yet. What’s wrong with your Orpington? I will say I...

    Backyard mix

    Hello, I hatched this chicken (Puff) in 2018 after purchasing eggs locally. I’m just curious what she might be? Some sort of olive egger mix? I had 11 eggs in that batch, TEN were roosters. She was the only pullet and the only one with clean feet. She’s got dark feet, with yellow on the bottom...

    Feeling discouraged, don't know how to help my chicks

    Hi! The Orpington snapped out of it after a couple days, not sure what was up with that. The legbar with pasty butt struggled for a few days, but I checked her constantly and she’s back to normal now. However, she’s very small. I compared her to my other legbar of the same age, the healthy one...
