    Bantam Cochins Gender Guesses

    Any guesses on these two Gold-laced bantam cochins? They are 7 weeks old and the only two who hatched. The look exactly alike so it has been challenging to determine gender with nothing to compare them to!

    Another Ameraucana gender question

    Hello - I also posted on the Ameraucana thread. I have a 13 week old splash that I would appreciate gender input on. I will also post pics of the blue cockerel that is from the same hatch/breeder. We are not allowed to have roosters here so need to know if I am re-homing one or both Thanks much!

    Hello! We are new to chickens - have 4 beautiful 4-week old pullets and we have decided we would like to have 6 total (hens).
