Thanks! I tried add lots of pictures but sometimes those four confuse me too! As you could tell by the names, I guessed those two might be guys. Peg doesn’t have the same beak features as the guys but definitely isn’t as obviously female as Polly.

I think two are Cockerels and two are Pullets, but I wanted a more expert opinion before I passed on my Cockerels to the farm. The reason for my suspicion is that two have wattles. But I'm uncertain because the headfeathers only look like a guy on one of them, but only one really acts like a...

Oh yeah! Your chicken looks very similar to mine. Thank you!

Great. I’m just going to keep assuming my Silkie is a little lady until further developments. As for my GLW, here are some updated pictures. She has the body of a hen, but a very red face. Also now 13 weeks.

Thanks! I got them from a farmer outside Kansas City. He does chick days in the spring and fall. This is great news!

Here is an updated picture of the Silkie, now 13 weeks. Has those tail feathers but definitely no wattles.

I think one is a boy and one a girl, but their faces look the same! Thoughts?

That was my guess as well for those 3, based on what I read and on their behavior.

I got this straight run of chicks and hope they are old enough to sex now. I know my Buff Orpington is a cockerel, but unsure about the rest. Thank you for your help!! Wilma the Welsummer (or maybe Olive Egger) 9 weeks Stella the Silkie, 9 wks Maria the Americauna, 9 wks...

I'm glad I asked. I can easily make some hinged window flaps (wooden). I am new to chicken owning so I searched for coop plans. Several places recommended the plans for this coop, so I followed it exactly. I actually added the other roosting poles because I didn't like the only one being by...

The two windows are facing east and west.

I have two windows on each side that are right next to a popular roosting pole (there are three inside). I worry about my chickens getting too cold at night. Should I cover one or both windows up or leave them open for ventilation. I'm trying out the deep litter method, if that makes a...

I received two chicks, one cream legbar and one olive egger (supposedly), but I don't know which is which. Can you help me out?

I got a few four/five week old chicks and am not sure this one is a lady like the rest. Thoughts?

Thank you! My elderly neighbor (who had chickens when he was younger) told me it was a rooster... so I began to get scared.

I have hope again. But I will take a couple better pictures tomorrow and post to be certain. Thank you!

I'm a first time chicken owner, and I got these two as chicks. One has pretty much always been bigger than the other, and I thought it must be the same way some people are different sized than others. However, I know fear that Buckbeak is a cockerel!! She (he?!) hasn't crowed yet, but s/he is...

I lived in Mt. Juliet, TN as a kid! Chicken math meaning.... it's very easy to end up getting more and more? :D

I got my first four chicks in April and just got a few more. I am in love with them! The two white Wyandottes were taken by raccoons while I was on vacation and my brother was house sitting. But my two survivors are four month old black Australorps (Pigwidgeon and Buckbeak). My new chicks are...
