Good Evening Folks,
You have been tremendously helpful in the past on sexing chicks. I bought 8 straight run blue/black orpington chicks that are looking like and acting like mainly roos. We will cull the roos but are super nervous of culling a fast developing pullet by accident (never owned...
Good Morning Folks,

This is Stormy, a lil chick that I recently adopted (is 2 days shy of 3 weeks old) but in the past few days she has concerned me as her comb looks to be a little too big for my liking. I don't know her breed and have no siblings to compare her against.
Thoughts on gender/breed?
