    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    Thank you. I did update the pics on my post so hopes those pictures help. I am hoping she isn't a roo because we want to keep her & have 10 chickens, one of which is a big barred rock roo a week older. I put food and water in the coop just for her where she likes to hid. We ordered 7 sex links...

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    Hello, I have what I think is an Aracauna that is about 9wks old. I'm trying to find out if she is a rooster or just at the bottom of the pecking order because she hides in the coop from the other chicks all around the same age except for 3 that are a wk older (one of those 3 is a roo & starting...

    Suppose to be a Golden comet or a Red Sex link but possibly neither???

    Thanks I noticed the rest all were similar. Here are the ones we got from my daughters 1st grade hatch. We were told #3 may be a he...but who knows we don't even know what they are really. So it's a waiting game I think. # 1 is all light yellow with white wings, black skin & furry legs/feet...

    Suppose to be a Golden comet or a Red Sex link but possibly neither???

    Thanks! I'm thinking I may already have a cockerel or two from the 3 chicks I got from my daughters class hatch of other breeds. Can I keep 2-3 Roos with 7 hens? I've never had a Rooster before but I would hate to have to get rid of any.

    Suppose to be a Golden comet or a Red Sex link but possibly neither???

    Ok so I now know the all yellow one with furry feet is definitely not like others and a possible cochin or something else. However, I had one more in the box that looks different so am now curious about that one as well. Its the same size as the rest but more yellow with a very distinct stripe...

    Suppose to be a Golden comet or a Red Sex link but possibly neither???

    they also had rare Cochins delivered the same day as well so maybe it's that. Honestly, I can't really see its comb. There is a tiny little bit of one I think I see but it won't hold still to really look.

    Suppose to be a Golden comet or a Red Sex link but possibly neither???

    Hello, We got 7 chicks yesterday we ordered from our local family owned store that were just delivered from the hatchery that morning. We ordered 4 Golden Sex links and 3 Red sex links. However, one of the chicks seems to be lighter than the others and has furry legs. My daughter named "her"...

    4-5wk old Buff Orpington I think is a Rooster

    That's what I was thinking, good to know from others to help confirm. Thankfully I have someone who wants a buff rooster. I really like their breed, Sad to have one go but still have my 3 RI Reds, & 2 BO chicks left. Thanks again for opinions!

    4-5wk old Buff Orpington I think is a Rooster

    Hello, I got 3 Buff orpingtons a few wks ago and was told they were all suppose to be hens. I have included a photo below but I think one is a Rooster. I can't have a rooster where I live so am kinda bummed. I wanted to get feedback from here before I look for a new home for him. Little...

    Is Hex Netting the same thing as Chicken Wire?

    I had the same question. I was at Lowes today and they had Hex netting that said in the description on the label that it was Galvanized hardwire cloth.. It was 24inx50ft for only $8.27! The actual shelf where hardwire cloth was label as such was so much more expensive than this one labeled hex...

    HELP! 2wk old chick dirty vent???

    I noticed this afternoon that she pops up as soon as I walk toward the brooder to look at me and I did see her eating and drinking. I see her actually drinking more than eating. She is such a sweet chick, I would hate for her to be sick. She seems to have a lot more energy than yesterday and she...

    HELP! 2wk old chick dirty vent???

    I managed to clean her bumm really well and noticed it looks like its swollen a little (kinda like a hemmorroid). I just got her (well all of them) 2 days ago and was told they were 2wks old. I've seen her drink water but really havent noticed her eating as much as the other ones. But, they are...

    pasty butts

    so glad I just seen this post. I think I have the same issue with 2 of my buff orpingtons that are 2 wks old. I noticed after having them 1 day 2 of them have really nasty butts, looks like poop is sticking badly. I even seen one walking around with it kinda stuck hanging out. I'm going to try...

    HELP! 2wk old chick dirty vent???

    Hello, I just got 2 wk old Buff Orpingtons. I have had the 1 day and they seem to be eating and drinking fine. I noticed today (day2) one of the chicks has poop all over its backside (vent area) I first thought since I seen them pecking at each other that maybe she was pecked. I tried to wipe...

    Is this size ok for 6 hens?

    Hello, I just got 6 chicks that are 2wks old (3 RI red, 3 Buff Orpington) I have read numerous threads and looked at tons of the coop pics on here. I'm working on their coop design for my husband to build. I'm looking on building a 6x5 coop with slated roof 2-3ft off ground with a 5x13 run (6ft...
