    Sex of barnyard mix (8wk)

    Hello! I have an 8 week old mix, I thought it was a pullet for the past couple of weeks due to its small pale comb, but it seems to be getting reddish patches on the shoulders and emerging saddles. It looks like it might be an Easter egger so I’m a bit confused. Any insight is appreciated...

    Featherless butt with some blood

    I noticed this big bare patch on her butt this evening when closing the coop. She was normal yesterday and laid a huge egg today. She’s about 30 weeks old. I did just introduce three new 14 week olds after 4 weeks of see-but-no-touch integration.

    Got another one.. 7 week old Swedish flower hens (or roosters)

    That’s completely fine too, I like them a lot! I was also looking for a light colored bird so the blue one really hits the mark.

    Got another one.. 7 week old Swedish flower hens (or roosters)

    They came from Meyer Hatchery, I was looking for some non-solid color patterns!

    Got another one.. 7 week old Swedish flower hens (or roosters)

    Thanks for the feedback! As long as they are pullets I am okay with whatever they may be “breed” wise! They won’t be bred from.

    Got another one.. 7 week old Swedish flower hens (or roosters)

    I have the two Swedish flower hens, just over 7 weeks. The dark one has thicker legs and is overall larger so I’m concerned about the sex if anyone can shed some insight! Both are very friendly and easily handled

    Easter egger and speckled Sussex cockerels?

    Thanks everyone, that’s a relief. The super early comb and wattles are really concerning, as the other Sussex I had really didn’t have either at the same age. But as this one grew I didn’t see any of the rooster feathering coming in. The Easter egger was 110% roo and a heavy crower. He was...

    Easter egger and speckled Sussex cockerels?

    The Sussex is now 20 weeks old, and doesn’t really look like a rooster yet… is he just slower to mature? Hasn’t crowed yet so if I need to make arrangements I’d like to before any starts. I appreciate all the responses!

    17 day old Dominique. Potentially cockerel?

    I have three Dominique’s, I noticed one looks pretty different from the others. It has more white on its wing feathers. It’s also feathering out slower. I’ve attached pictures one of the chick in question and then an example of what the other two look like. The chick in question is more timid...

    New and trying my best!

    Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I’m really excited to be a part! Luckily only two had the leg bands, removing any more would’ve been a bit much. I’ll see if I can keep the Sussex together, he doesn’t particularly care what breed they are as long as they lay eggs, and I think I was sent...

    New and trying my best!

    Thanks for the fast reply! For the blue/black/splash Orpington they use a green band, the Barnevelder was banded too but hers came off easily. The Orpington jumped up on top of the brooder plate and seems normal.

    New and trying my best!

    Hi all, so glad to have found such a well developed community! I just got my first chicks in the mail Tuesday and am ready to always learn more! I got 10 total from Meyer, though 4 are for someone else when they’re old enough to join adult birds. I got three Easter eggers (one fibromelanistic...
