She’s mad at me now, lol, but she has pink tongue and throat.

Ten weeks old. Assuming (hoping) a she. Can you tell gender and breed? Bottoms of its feet are black.

Our black pullet, Chick Norris, and our cockerel, Cornelius, have been together since day one literally. They are now ten weeks old and are going to live with a family friend who has eight hens. My concern is how attached Chick and Corny are. They are almost always side by side as in the...

I’m sorry I can’t help you with the breed. I don’t know; the chicks were my grandsons science project and he brought them home the day they hatched. No idea what the breed is. My first time with chickens too, so I suggest you post a picture in the ‘what breed’ forum and see what they say...

I’m finding lots more black feathers lately. Could the black chick be starting the juvenile molt? I don’t see bald places anywhere and I’ve not seen Cornelius pecking at it. Are you basing the cockerel definition because of the comb? Thanks for your help!

At eight weeks, I’m still confused about the gender of these chicks. We thought the brown one (Cornelius) was a cockerel, but haven’t heard any crowing, and it seems like it’s saddle feathers are rounded. The black one, Chick Norris, still has a small comb, very small wattles, and still...

Here are clearer pics of Chick Norris.

I’ll try to get a better picture tomorrow.

Blackish

It was about imprinting. The first thing the chick sees, it thinks is it’s parent. 7th grade science class. We had just taken custody of our grandson two months before this, and thought it might be good for him to have them.

Thank you, Sagey_7878 and So Lucky. We will have to figure out what to do. We have friends with a small farmette and some chickens. I will talk to them about possibly taking Cornelius and Chick Norris both.

I agree it isn’t what I want to hear, but it is what I expected. We don’t have room for any more chickens. If Chick should be a female, would she do ok on her own if we found a home for Cornelius? They’ve been together since day one.

Just these two. Grandson’s science project.

Banner day here with our two almost 6-week old chicks. Cornelius started crowing. I was very disappointed, as I was hoping for two females. We still do not know the gender of Chick Norris, and I’m hoping it isn’t another cockerel. We finished the coop today and moved Cornelius and Chick Norris...

The chicks are three weeks old now, and their feathers are growing out nicely. Maybe too soon to tell breed, but here are pics. Chick Norris is the black one, and Cornelius is the brownish one. Cornelius is a little bigger than Chick, but Chick has longer tail feathers.

The lamp is down to a 60 watt bulb and will soon go to 40. Is that ok? I think I just googled day old chicks.

Thank you. My husband, who did not want chickens, named it. We’ve gotten a lot of laughs from it.

when we got our two day-old chicks, we could not find medicated starter crumbles. I have been adding apple cider vinegar to their water because I read that coccidiosis could not survive in an acidic system. They are now two weeks old and seem fine. Do they need the medicated starter?

My hubby and I are retired, but now raising our 13-year old grandson. For a science project, he brought home two day-old chicks. Chick Norris is all black, and Cornelius is light yellow with brown feathers coming in. They are now two weeks old. We do not know their breed or their gender. We...
