Hi! My Barred Rock is almost a year old. Her head is bald and her comb doesn’t look right to me. Another one of my Barred Rocks has a tiny spot balding on her head too. The Rhode Island Reds and White Leghorns look completely normal. They have been together their whole lives. I haven’t seen any...
Hi! I live in Gates County, NC. I need to re-home 5 cockerels (see pics). They are 14.5 weeks old. I want them to go to good homes. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks!
Hi! I am getting ready to re-home these roosters. Please confirm that they are roosters. They are 14 weeks old. Number 4 had a tail just like 3’s. I don’t know who plucked his feathers, but I inspected him and he has a bunch of new green feathers growing in. None of them are crowing or trying to...
Hi! I purchased these chicks on May 2nd from Tractor Supply. They were about 2 weeks old at the time, which is why they were on sale. I think they are 6 weeks old now. They were not sexed. The workers performed the muscle test to determine that these were pullets (hopefully). 3 are barred rocks...
Could this 7.5 week old chicken be a pullet or is it definitely a cockerel? I know it has a long comb and waddle, but it is much lighter in color than the ones I know are cockerels. Does color matter? Thanks!
These chicks are 6 weeks and 2 days old. I have been posting pics of them for weeks trying to determine their genders, but was told I would have to wait until they were this age. Please let me know what genders they are. Thanks!
Hi! I purchased several chicks from Tractor Supply a couple of weeks ago. I’m guessing that they are approximately 4 weeks old now. I thought for sure this was a female because of the darker feathers and feet, but it is already showing red wattles. Is it possible that it is a female, or does...
Hi! I have 9 egg laying pullets (2 White Leghorns, 3 Barred Rocks, and 4 Rhode Island Reds). I am keeping one cockerel (same breeds). Is one particular breed of rooster the nicest or best? I have had them all since they hatched. When will I need to re-home the ones I’m not keeping? I don’t want...
Hi! Is it still too early to determine their genders? They all hatched on April 4th. Please let me know what you think they are. They are numbered. I am especially curious about 9 and 10. Thanks!

Hi! I have 10 little egg laying chicks. They are 5-6 days old. I think I know their breeds and genders, but need your help to be certain. Number 10 is tiny and feisty so I wasn’t able to get a very good picture of its wings. Thanks for your help!
