First two are potential boys, final is likely pullet for comparison
The reddening of the second one has me suspicious, but I am newer to rose combs so maybe they are different? 🤷♀️
Got this little one out of a pullet bin, but it just attacked my hand when I reached into the crate lol this is my first barred rock, but from what I understand you can sex them from their spots. Can anyone help me? Is this a pullet?
I know it's hard to tell with these, but does this silkie look like a rooster? About 7 months old and is a bit of a jerk, not to us but towards my new chickens 😬 I have never personally experienced an angry female silkie so I'm a bit confused. She drew blood on my orpington and is currently...
My HOA is saying I can't keep my chickens. We are in an unincorporated area where chickens are allowed but HOA says no. I am angry because I have an email from them confirming that there are areas in the neighborhood where chickens are allowed. The entire neighborhood is the same so there's...
The brahma is a girl, but the lady I'm buying from thinks the orpington on the left might be a boy. It looks like a pretty pale and small comb to be a male to me. What do you think?
16 weeks on Tuesday. I have no idea what the quality is, my husband got it for me from a local breeder as a surprise at 3 days old 💜 i mention the quality because it doesnt have any comb development, but I have heard that better quality silkies can take longer to mature and have smaller combs...
Boy or girl?
I know its early to say but I just now realized I botched my dna test that I did at 1 month old (didn't clean toenail clippers between bird samples). Still a boy, right? No crowing or mounting yet but hes still little
My 5 month old was fine yesterday and today she started off stumbling now she can't walk and is refusing water and food. She is now sneezing too as she lays completely still in her quarantine box. She appears to be dying and I don't know what she has. I can't take her to a vet- my husband is...
My silver phoenix roo has taken to sleeping in a tall tree while my ladies sleep in the coop below it. Will he be ok? Nothing I can do about it tonight because he is quite high up, but I'm worried 🤦♀️
My polish silkie cross is about 8 weeks old and i have no idea if its a boy or a girl... most features tend to be more polish than silkie. Black comb, no waddles, bearded thanks to the silkie part
Any tips on how to tell if my new chicks are male or female? I know it's hard to tell with these guys because they mature so late, but I figured I'd see if anyone here had any tips of what to watch for at an early age :)
I chose the two with the smallest combs and wattles out of the group and the 4H kid did some head-hanging trick and thinks they're girls. What do you all think?
Ok, so my pullet started crowing this morning. I was told it was about 10 to 12 weeks old when I brought it home end of February, so I guess probably around 18-20 weeks conservatively.. anyway it started crowing this morning! I don't see any obvious signs of it being a rooster, but I guess I'm...
