When I went to check on my chickens as I usually do, I was looking in the coop and heard what I thought at first to be a seagull! I later found out houwever, that It was our 6-6 1/2 month old Easter egger pullet, Bean. She’s breathing with her mouth open and it sounds raspy. This is definitely...
This is Bean, he’s a very cuddly Easter egger, and I’m thinking he may, in fact, be a rooster. He’s about 12.5 weeks old and acts like a very friendly rooster, he watches the sky and warns the others about hawks. He doesn’t crow yet, and his hackles aren’t especially pointy, but I am wondering...

We have an Easter egger named Goopy, he’s about 12.5 weeks old, and I’ve been calling him a “him” since they were about 6 weeks old. He acts pretty rooster-y and his hackle feathers look pretty-darn pointy to me, but his comb looks like just one pea...? And still not much red..? Though I’d like...

This is a bantam chick we’d picked out of an “assorted bantam” bin at a feed store. S/he’s 4 weeks old tomorrow, I was wondering if anyone could tell at this point what bantam breed s/he is?
Here’s a picture of when we got him/her.
