    Strangely feathering chick (leg feathers)

    Hi all! This chick is feathering out so strangely. It was supposedly a prairie bluebell egger from Hoover’s. So I know since they are a mix that their coloring and things can vary, but this is the only one of the 7 feathering out with these big feathers on its legs like this. Prairie bluebell...

    10 week cockerel pretty aggressively mating older hens...ok or not?

    Hi all! I have 7, 10 week old chicks and 5 of them are cockerels. I also have 11 hens that are all laying and around a year old. The chicks were raised by a broody in the flock so they have grown up in this flock. Two of the cockerels I have noticed attempting to mate several of my Easter eggers...

I am thinking only #2 & #4 are pullets, and that’s really mainly judging from comb/wattle development and color. I think all 5 others are cockerels. I think #1 has...

    Multiple cockerels, when to pick one and rehome the rest?

    Hi all! My broody hen hatched out 7 chicks about 6.5 weeks ago and they are growing like weeds! Unfortunately 4, maybe 5, of the 7 are leaning towards cockerels. We want to keep one since we don’t currently have a rooster but I want to chose wisely. At what age will re-homing the extras be...

    Pullet or Cockerel? Leghorns, EEs & silkies

    Hi! This is my first post on backyard chickens! We started our first flock back at the beginning of April. We have 13 almost 10 week old chicks. 4 leghorns, 3 silkies & 6 Easter eggers. I was hoping i could get some insight on the gender of them. I’m 99% sure our leghorns are pullets based on...
