Hey Roo c, I have a "Sex Link" that looks just like yours, only it's about 18 or so weeks. Some of its tail feathers are growing in longer and curved, so it makes me think it might be a male. I guess I'll wait it out another 3-4 weeks to see if it begins to hopefully lay (or possibly crow -...

Congratulations!! Unfortunately I had 2 definite roo's. I had 2 roo's so far in my batch; I'm about 90% sure my Sexlink is also a roo . I took my RIR back to the breeder and will take back my Sexlink once I am sure it's a roo, and she'll give me 2 more chicks. Although I'm glad for her...

At 8 weeks looks like a pullet to me. I'm no expert but have had both a roo and a pullet and this looks like a girl.

Yes, absolutely - more than I could have imagined, but very much appreciated. I'll not be breeding since I can't have a roo in my subdivision, but it's still good to know all the great info you provided. For my flock I wanted a sampling of birds, so I didn't get more than one of a breed. I...

Thank you so much for the great info! I noticed you breed EE's so you must really like them (?)... The add in craigslist said Ameracauna, but I guess the person figured most regular folk wouldn't know the difference. But I think my EE is a pretty girl. Off-topic curiosity question: why...

Great! I was hoping for pullets. And I probably should have mentioned that I believed the BO to be a pullet. This chick was a replacement for a BO that I initially got a few months ago which turned out to be a roo. This chick looks much different: smaller comb, doesn't stand as erect, has a...

ok, thanks - guess I might be on the hunt for a true ameracauna after I find out what these two are.

Ok, I got these two chicks about 6 weeks ago to replace those that ended up being roo's. Below are some pics. Let me know if you think they are roo's or pullets, and if the "grayish" one is an EE or Americauna. Thanks!

Update on my first batch of chicks: the RIR gave his first real crow yesterday. I got with the breeder today and she took him back. We're waiting a few more weeks to see what the Sex-link turns out to be. I took it over with the RIR and the breeder wasn't convinced it was a roo based on...

I'm probably replying too late, but that would be a good fix for my problem. Feel free to PM or email me and maybe I can meet up with your mom somewhere. Feel free to email me at alex.amsoil at gmail.

Sad day - I can only have pullets. I paid extra for having them sexed too...

Okay, here is my update. My latest guess on age is 12 - 14 wks. I'm quite certain the BR & Dominque are pullets, but the other 3 could be roos (quite certain the Buff is a roo). Below are some additional pics if anyone would like to comment on the gender of the BO, RIR & Sexlink. Here are...

Roni - I was so looking forward to finally seeing an answer on the RIR: whether "she" was definitely a pullet or not. I'm new to all of this too. And although I bought 5 chicks hoping for all females, when I posted pics at about 6-7 weeks I got several comments that maybe even 2-3 were...

LaPetiteFarmer, So did it end up being a pullet? I have one that I'm afraid is a roo. Here he is at about 11-12 weeks...

I moved my chicks to their coop about 2 weeks ago. I put a watering bucket with nipples in the coop, and had their food in an old dog dish moving it in and out at night / morning. I will be making another bucket for the outside so they have water anytime - day or night. I'm thinking of making...

I'm surprised about your RIR's. I've got 1 in my flock and it's one of the friendliest. Now it will be the first to put another chick in it's place, but it's not aggressive at all. I'm wondering if the different experience just happens to be the individual personality of the chicken. I love...

What was the final verdict on the gender?

I have 5 chicks, 4 are about 6 weeks and 1 about 4 weeks. The RIR has had diarrhea pretty much the entire 3 weeks I've had them. The BR & Dom seems to be doing fine and the other 2 come and go. Occasionally one has almost a liquid poo. I've not given anything but chick starter and clean...

Hey j_morgan76, How did your things work out for you?

Okay, thanks. I got them from a local breeder, so not from a bin. So far only the Buff shows some of the characteristics but as I searched different threads the Buffs are the most difficult to sex by the characteristics. The lady I got them from used the vent sexing method and she seemed...
