I have 3 chicks and I need to know which 1 is the roo. I am caring for 2 of the 3 for a couple who wants a roo and pullet and I need to figure out soon which 2 are theirs and which one is my pullet. Can anyone tell me which chick is the roo and why you think so. I can't end up with the roo so I...

Do you have any other recommendations? Are the tiki torches with citronella oil safe to use around the chickens? What about the citronella plants?
I went out this morning and my son yelled to me that Rose our 19 week old production red was laying an egg. He watched her intently and when she was done she ran out of coop started eating and drinking and there was a perfect tan egg in the box. about 10 minutes later she went back into the box...
I just got this 2 girls on Friday from a farm and they look a little ragged. I bathed them and when I gave them food they ate it so fast and got food all over their faces. Was really cute! One of the chicks is 1/2 the size of the other but is feathered out like the bigger one so I am thinking...
Zia is 15 weeks old in these pictures. She was such a friendly sweetheart but in the past couple of weeks she has become difficult to handle, she runs and jumps from us and is acting strange. I was looking at some other posts of 15 week old BO's and I noticed that her tail looks very different...
We have always suspected Fiddle was a rooster but no egg yet and no crow
I don't see any saddle feathers and he is such a sweet chicken.
All 3 of my "production red" chickens have had this weird tail thing where they get down to the last 1-2 black tail feathers and then they fall out and they...
Ebo is almost 11 weeks this weekend and the picture was taken this past weekend when she was 10 weeks old. Sorry it's not a good face picture, she is so hard to photograph and is in constant motion.
I've got my fingers crossed she is a SHE
I have 6 chickens. 3 are 17 weeks old, 1 is 14 weeks old and the other 2 are 11 weeks old. The coop I have is 5x2 and the run will be 6x6 ( I'm still working on that). Is this big enough for my 6 chickens? They also get to run the yard when I am outside in the am and pm. Probably about an...
Well I sadly re homed my black jersey giant roo and so I went and got 2 five week old chicks on friday to coop up with my 9 week old buff orpington so she wouldn't be lonely. 1 is a buff orpington and 1 is a silver laced wyandotte. My son just picked up the first one he could get out of the bin...
I have 3, 10 week old Production Reds and 1 is a rooster, I also have 2, 8 week old old chicks, one is a Black Jersey Giant Roo and the other is a Buff Orpington pullet. They free range the yard together and never seem to mingle with each other. When can I put them in the same "coop" without...
My chickens are now 9 weeks old and I am curious what breed or gender they may be. I got them from a guy/farm in the county and was never told what kind they are.
Little Fiddle - 9 weeks old, we are pretty sure he is a rooster but hoping we are wrong.
Tuesday - 9 weeks
Rose - 9 weeks...
I took Terra , pictured below, to a feed store where they agreed to re-home "him" and they told me I needed to wait 2 more months to be sure she is a he. I'm a convinced Terra is a rooster. 6 weeks 5 days old.
What do you think? Could Terra still be a hen?
She is so assertive and bosses all the others around. She is also the friendliest and loves for us to hold her. She has started jumping on the others backs and chasing them around herding them back into the coop. I'm really starting to suspect she is a he
I'm new to having chickens, in fact I've only had them for 3 weeks. They will be 4 weeks old in 3 days and the breed is unknown although some have suggested three of them are Red Star hybrids. I'm starting to get really paranoid and think they are all roosters. I am certain 1 is for sure.
Any...
