Hey everyone I am new to having chickens. One of our hens laid her first egg last week and nothing again until today which has been about 7 days. It was a little smaller than a normal sized egg but it looked great! This morning she started singing the egg song at about 7 and keeps going in and...

Yay thanks everyone!

This chick is about 11 weeks old. We originally had 2 roosters out of our five and were able to exchange them for two hens a few weeks back. The lady wasn't sure of one of them but thought it was probably a pullet. I've had her/him for about 4 weeks now. What do you think?

I thought vent sexing was only for when they are really young?

Thank you both for your replies! These are our first chickens and we just love them! They are so friendly and sweet.

Hey everyone my Buff Orpingtons are 8 weeks old today and I was wondering if you could kindly help me with sexing them. I am 99.9% sure I have one roo and another one looks suspicious to me. Tell me what you think! 1&2 3 (I'd be very shocked if this one is a pullet) 4 5 (This...

I was thinking the exact same thing! Thank you for your reply.
