This is Clover, my six month old Silkie. I'm pretty sure she's a hen. But, she's recently developed wattles which concerns me. I know that Silkies are really hard to sex but I'm wondering if anyone else has some insight as to whether she does indeed look like a hen or not. I'm sincerely hoping...

Thank you all for weighing on on this. We were able to re-home our Mr Cupcake to a nice ranch this weekend. It was hard but it's nice not to have early morning crowing

I am a first time chicken owner. We started with four chickens, two of which turned out to be roosters so we had to re-home them yesterday morning. Ever since, my buff orpington hen is acting weird. Making loud clucking noises and puffing out her feathers. The worst behavior is that she's...

Thank you all for your comments. I am happy that she's likely a pullet. We had to re-home our two roosters this morning and it was really hard.

This is Clover, my 15 week old black silkie. I'm a new chicken owner and I know that sex is hard to tell with silkies. I feel she's a hen but I am not 100% sure. Does Clover look like a hen or roo?

I am looking to possibly get a black sex link chick but I have read a couple times that they can be noisy - is this true? Are they, in general, noisier than other hens? I like the idea of a sex link chicken so that I can be more assured of getting a pullet. But, I'm not thinking it's worth the...

I'm thinking of getting a black sex link chick. Our local feed store has them and I like the idea of it because it sounds like I'd be pretty much assured that they are pullets. (We are in the process of re-homing two roosters so I don't want to go through that again if I can help it). My...

Thank you all. It's a relief to feel confident that's she's a hen.

Millie. My 3 week old Mille Fleur d'Uccle

I'm a first time chicken owner. My husband and I got four (sexed) baby chicks at three days old. Two are confirmed roosters that we now have to re-home. Our Buff Orpington, Chickpea, is one that I feel pretty certain is a hen. The only thing that concerns me is that when the roosters kind of...

wonderful, thank you!

Thank you!! Question - they are over a little more than two weeks old. At that age, would males still have the head spot and the females would not? I know that baby chicks change quickly so I wasn't sure if the head spot only applied to new born chicks? thank you again!!

I have what is probably a dumb question on sex link chickens. I've read a little bit about them. My understanding is that they have different coloring at birth so that you can easily tell the girls from the boys. If my local feed store has a number of 2 week old black sex link chickens (they...

My husband and I got four baby chicks - we are first time chicken owners. We are 3.5 months in now and two turned out to be roosters. We are not legally allowed to have roosters in our residential neighborhood. Heartbreaking because they are great little guys. We would love to find them a good...

This is my 3.5 month old EE Cupcake. We are new to owning chickens and have been told she appears to be a hen. But, she's started to crow! Not a full crow but a very, very loud crow-like sound in the mornings. I've heard that hens sometimes do crow. We have a rooster and Cupcake squares...

Thank you! I'll post again in a week or two. Finger crossed it's a she!!

Thank you both for your input. Yes, a bit too early. I'm just so eager since the last RIR turned out to be a roo. I'll post again in a couple weeks. Thank you!

We just got this two week old RIR to replace my 3.5 month old RIR that turned out to be a roo (we are in the process of re-homing him). I'm REALLY hoping this is a hen. In the last picture, the RIR is in the back and you can see how her tail sticks straight up - not sure if that means girl or...

We just got this three week old Mille Fleur. She was the smallest of the lot and had the tiniest comb so I felt sure she was a pullet. Now, I'm not sure. Please help.
