    Hen or roo? 13 wk Buff Orpingtons

    I ordered 4 non sexed Buff Orpington Exhibition Type chicks from Cackle Hatchery that are now 13 weeks old. I really only wanted 1-2 pullets and planned to rehome the rest. I could really use some help identifying the pullets from the cockerels. The website says they obtained their lines from...

    Best way to rehome a cockerel

    My “pullet” speckled sussex from the feed store turned out to be a rooster. Figures as it was my favorite chick of the bunch. I can’t have roosters where I live so I need to rehome him but don’t want him going onto someone’s plate or just let loose out into a field to eat bugs until a predator...

    Wire floor vs sand/PDZ for quail hutch

    I’m trying to come up with a good quail hutch design for a small group (4-6 quail in a 2.5ft x 6ft enclosure raised off the ground. I was thinking that 4ft could be for the run and making the bottom wire and slanted so poop will fall down and eggs will rollout for easy collection. The other 2ft...

    I posted about this particular young chicken before and at the time opinons leaned towards roo. Checking in again to see what everyone thinks now. And this last one cracks me up 😂

    Size difference in newly added chick

    I purchased 4 maran chicks a week ago. Unfortunately one of the chicks had crooked feet and something else wrong with it and died on the 2nd day despite my best efforts 😔 The man I purchased them from felt bad and offered me a replacement chick which I picked up tonight. He said it was from the...

    5 week old speckled sussex - pullet or roo?

    Got this speckled sussex chick from the local IFA and it was supposed to be a pullet. I am having my doubts. Anyone familiar with the breed want to chime in on their guess for gender?

    Crooked toes, bum leg? Update - advice still needed

    I got some new chicks yesterday and I’m worried one might have a bad foot. I noticed she doesn’t like to put much weight on it and always lays to the one side. Her toes also curl underneath and inward instead of splayed out for support. She wobbles when trying to walk and seems more concerned...

    4.5 week olive egger, pullet or cockerel?

    I’ve posted before on this chick before and more votes went to it being a roo. Thought I would update again to see what people think now. All in fun though I hope it’s a pullet 🤞🏻

    Is my Olive Egger a roo?

    This chick was from a local farm supply store and listed as an Olive egger. After a little research I think they may get their chicks from Hoover Hatchery and it looks like they use French cuckoo Marans and Ameraucanas for their OE’s. With that in mind, this was taken yesterday and the chick is...

    Hello!

    Hello! I’ve raised a small flock of hens for the past 4 years and recently took on 4 more chicks to add on. Since my older gals were all purchased as nearly full grown pullets this is my first time raising chicks. Current old crew is a blue cochin, barred rock and cream legbar (had a second...
