    7.5 week old Splash Laced Red Wyandottes - pullets or roos?

    Hey y'all! I've gotten better at detecting roos but these Wyandottes have me baffled. They pinked up super early and I go from thinking they're half pullets/half roos to all roos to all pullets every other day. I know I might have to wait longer on these chicks and am happy to post updates for...

    How long to continue treating for lice/vent gleet before giving up?

    Hey y'all. 4 weeks ago, I bought two older pullets (hatched in late May/early June from what I can tell). I thought it would be OK because I was buying from an NPIP breeder, but I made the mistake of not inspecting them closely until I got home, and when I found them literally crawling with lice...

    Is this blue laced red Wyandotte chick a roo?

    I'm extremely suspicious this BLRW chick is a roo. It's ~4 weeks, which I know is 2-5 weeks too early to easily tell for sure, but I just got another one of its hatchmates and the 2nd BLRW with the same hatch date is generally more fully feathered, has a much longer tail (the one pictured has no...

    [WA state] Looking for a new home for a 6wk old Black Copper Marans

    I've had hens before, but it's my first time raising chicks, and I was so terrified of getting something wrong (failure to thrive, roosters, etc.) that I over-committed on chicks. Well, as it turns out, all of my chicks have been ridiculously healthy and pullets - so I now need to downsize my...

    5 week old Partridge Rock - pullet or roo?

    Hey! I have a partridge rock that's just a day shy of 5 weeks old and I'm 80% suspicious about it potentially being a roo (it was sold from the hatchery with a 90% pullet rate, but we know how that goes). Its comb is still fairly small but it's pretty red in certain lights (see #2) but not all...

    Baby chicks adorably scratching up my arm

    I have several 2-3 week old chicks that are now friendly enough to hop onto my hands and arms and perch/roost there. 2 of them also enjoy walking up and down my forearm like a jungle gym. Unfortunately I hadn't realized how sharp their claws would be and I now have a bunch of red scratches on my...

    [Seattle, WA area] Young Laying Easter Egger

    Selling a young (just under 1 year old) Easter Egger for $20, laying regularly (light blue eggs, about 4 times a week). She's usually done laying by noon-1pm. I have to remove her from my small flock because she's unfortunately something of a bully - she pecks my 2 younger pullets more than she...
