He, along with the nine pullets he was raised with, were integrated with my existing flock of 13 hens about a month ago.

    Pullets or Roos?

    First Timer here! I have four 8 week old Easter Eggers (Peep, Puff, Waffles and Wasabi) and two 8 week old Barred Rock (Oreo and Pepper). Any guesses if they are Pullets or Roos? None of them have red combs and all of my EE have red in their feather coloring, so I am very unsure as to their...

    Pullets or Cockerels?

    Hi! First Timer here and I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out if my 4 week old chicks are pullets or cockerels, especially after reading all of the advise on how to identify the sexes. I have 4 Easter Eggers and 2 Barred Rock. None of them have 3 rows on their combs and all combs are...
