    Animal scat identification

    I went out this morning to let my girls out and found this scat by the coop. I live in Central Indiana. Can anyone help identify? They might even be from different critters. There is chicken poop for scale on size. Thanks!

    Genders??

    I purchased these as pullets from Rural King around 10 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I already ended up with 3 cockerals that were out of the pullet bin already 🤦🏼‍♀️. Do any of these ameraucanas look like cockerels, too?? I sure hope not 😅😳

    Cockeral??

    Im assuming this cream legbar is a cockeral... about 9 to 10 wks old, not crowing yet. But the coloring and comb is leading me to think roo. Just need opinions! (Wouldnt sit very still for photo shoot lol)

    Sick hen?

    I have a hen that seems off balance when she is standing and walking. She is walking slightly hunched over as well. I gave them some corn and she went after it like normal, but just side stepping to catch herself. Im not 100% how old she is because she was given to me. I would say maybe 5 or 6...

    Hen being aggressive towards me..

    I have a welsummer/EE mix I hatched in May of this year. She is a mean thing! I have a cockerel in there with her, and 8 other hens. She is aggressive with me. She will follow me close, peck at my legs. She jumps and gets my hands, and the other day, she grabbed onto my pants and held on...

    SHELBY COUNTY, IN. I have 3 handsome guys needing to be rehomed! They were hatched from my own flock May 30, 2021. Out of 10 eggs, I ended up with 7 dudes, sadly, too many for me to keep! I have 3 left to find homes for. They will be 13 weeks on Sunday. Free. Ricardo (front) and George (back)...

    8 week old cockerel mounting?

    I just attempted to mix my 8 and a half week old chickens with my 13 and a half wk EE pullets (they are almost the same size now). Normal pecking between them, and then the 8wk old cockerel kept trying to mount one of the EE pullets! He started crowing last week. It scared the pullet so bad. I...

    Possible roo?

    Hatched from my own chicken's eggs. Dad is an ameraucana/EE mix and mom is a Plymouth rock. I read that with rocks you can tell gender by coloring, big white patch on head. This one is 3 weeks old and comb getting some pink. Can I confirm this is a roo (cockerel.. lol) by the coloring?? Thanks!

    What breed?

    I got this hen a little while ago from someone who was rehoming her. I though she might be a black australorp, but I'm not 100% sure. Any guesses? She has a green with a little purple sheen in the sun. TIA!
