Hello all!
I have a trio of Lavender Ameracuanas, born 5/13. I’m usually solid on sexing at this age, but I’m having difficultly with these Ameracaunas.
I’m confident on Lavender pullet #3, but I need some help now with Lavender #1 and #2. Lavender #1 absolutely acts male, #2 does not...

My two surprise chicks have arrived. They’re about 4 weeks now. I have some ideas on breed but would love some supportive confirmation. I have NO clue about the genders as I have never owned these breeds.
I think my first chick is a Columbian Wyandotte. I owned some Silver Wyandottes before and...
I ordered an all female batch of day-olds from McMurray. Well, now they're approximately 13 weeks old and I'm definitely seeing the differences. I didn't have trouble telling the sex of my Speckled Sussex girls, but the Silver Laced Wyandottes are all over the place (or so they are to me).
