I think it is beak pliers. I have literally never used any of those three items.

Thank you so much. Agree that 10 looks like human cuticle clippers.

A friend’s son is exhibiting a silkie in a 4H show next week and she called asking for help with his workbook but I am as stumped as she is. Does anyone know what the circled items are and what they’re used for?

I just ordered a few ducks from my pet chicken, but since I love a surprise, I rounded out my order with “hatchery choice” ducklings. is there anyone familiar with ducks who can tell me what I got?

In Europe most poultry is stunned using co2.

You would be surprised at the number of people who think all barred chickens are barred rocks. I prefer my cuckoo marans to my BRs. They lay HUGE dark, speckled eggs every day, but being male, it’s moot.

Cackle should be very reliable at sexing barred chicks. It’s pretty easy at day old once you’ve seen enough.

These look like my white Plymouth rocks, or production RI Whites. By 16 weeks a pullets comb may be red, and a cockerel will likely have distinct saddle feathers. Saddle feathers will be a better indication of gender.

If they’re pure, they’re pullets👍

It appears to be double barred, so it has to be male.

Mystery chick is 2 weeks old and feathering in similar to female bielefelders but she definitely didn’t have the same head stripes. Might put a wing clip on her so I can still tell her apart in a few weeks.

All girls. Boys will have more white.

Easter Eggers can be any color because it’s not a true breed. It’s a hybrid that lays colorful eggs. Many breeds of chicken come in white, so you can get a rainbow of egg colors from various white layers. I have white Ameraucanas that lay blue, white leghorns that lay white, white rocks...

I think your barred rock is actually a cuckoo Marans, and female.

Looks to be single comb. 🤞🤞🤞Come on rhodebar!

If it’s an auto sexing breed, they only send females

Finally broke down and shelled out the $ for Greenfire chicks. There was a six chick minimum, and I was looking for nice legbars and bielefelders, but they were one available chick short on either breed, so I picked the cheapest chick they had... a mystery rainbow egg layer. I ordered six...
