I have a bantam frizzle I purchased from a feed store 8/01, so I know he/she is at least 10 weeks old (probably close to 11 weeks). I need help determining if I have a pullet or a cockerel.
Thank you!
I live in Mesa AZ, and have lots of bark scorpions. I went out this morning to fins one of my RIR's on her side. I picked her up are realized shes still alive but can not stand. One eye is closed but the other is open. She is pretty lifeless and not sure if shes going to pull through. I...
I have three chicks that are 4 weeks old. They are barnyard mixes from my splash silkie roo, so all have a pea comb, 5 toes, etc.
The first one is from my blue Andalusian hen and the other two are from my NN hen that went broody and raised these three.
First one I'm guessing is a pullet
The...
I have a barnyard mix. It was the only one to hatch and is a mix of blue Andalusian and splash silkie roo.
At 8 weeks we are starting to notice a little wattle and comb development...boy??
Thank you for your help!
I have a splash silkie roo, here he is in his younger days:
And one of my hens went broody. I stuck a Blue Andalusian egg under her with two others and the blue/silkie egg hatched.
So, my question is. My little chick has black skin, black legs, feathered feet and 5 toes. I was under the...
I'm relatively new to chicken keeping. One of my buff orpintons has sores on both of her feet (I found them just doing a routine check). She is my heaviest bird and not limping but I want to make sure it's not bumble foot...and what do I do about them (watch and see? Pull scabs off??).

This little one is 7 weeks and I'm thinking it is a he??? I have no experience with silkies other than this one snd a 5 week old splash silkie. I know that they are hard to sex until more mature but any guesses?
I'm thinking roo just because I can see the comb developing and he does the chest...
I know welsummers are auto sexing but I'm having a little doubt. I'm guessing I have two pullets and a too, can anyone help me confirm that?
This is the pullet:
And I believe this one is a roo:
This is my first time with a broody, she has done well and two eggs hatched yesterday. Last night a silkie egg pipped, this morning it had large pieces of the egg shell missing in the center if the egg but no zipping at all. The chick was moving and chirping loudly. Then the broody started...
Ok, I know this has been brought up so many times but I honestly don't understand it all since I am new to chickens. Do I have an Easter Egger or an Ameraucana? Here are some pics of her and the beautiful blue egg she laid for the first time today :-)
I got her from a local breeder sold as an...
I am new to this and have a mixed backyard flock of 9 that are 10 weeks old. All of them appear to be pullets but I am questioning my two EE's (which were sold to me as Ameraucana's but I'm thinking they are EE's).
I tried to capture a few pictures of them, can anyone tell me if they think they...
