Is anyone in the mood for a game of hens or roos? These are school hatching program chicks - about 4.5 - 5 weeks old. There’s one very obvious roo, and 1 (I believe) obvious girl - but 4 I’m undecided. Thoughts?

Hey 😊. I received these chicks from a school hatching program - they are about 3 weeks old here. Can anyone tell me if they are Lohmann Brown cockerels or if they could be leghorn chicks? Thanks.

Hey everyone. I was given this lovely coronation sussex at 12 weeks old. ‘She’ had a large comb but it was very pale in colour - no wattles. ‘Her’ feathering didn’t set off any alarms. But here we are at 18 weeks and ‘she’ has been molting and I think I am seeing male hackle feathers and...

So today we had a lovely warm day here in Melbourne and the flies came out in great number!! I have a fly trap in my chicken yard - Envirosafe. It’s working but I can’t decide if it’s attracting more flies than I would otherwise have. Anyway, Summer is approaching and I was hoping for some...

Hey all. Just wondering if these 2 could could be pullets? I have 8 chicks. I’m certain that 1 is a girl. I’m fairly certain that I have 5 boys. These 2 are in question. I’m leaning toward pullet because their combs don’t have the same red as the 5 boys - but I’m no good at distinguishing...

Hello. First time poster - long time reader haha. I was hoping to get some thoughts on the potential gender of my chicks. I have 8 Australorp chicks that hatched 4 weeks ago. I have 3 with red developing in their combs and even some developing wattles so I’m sure they’re roos. Then I have 2...
