Not the best pic but she is a fast one so i can get more pics if need be but this is generally what shes looking like. Compared to pics online her hackles dont resemble a roo
Im also leaning pullet because im seeing not hackle or saddle feathers and she also feathered out really early which is a pullet trait if im not mistaken
SHe/He is just around 9 weeks as of next tuesday. The wattles havent gotten any bigger and has been feathered out since around week 4/5 which leads me towards pullet. Face is only red because i believe its hot out. The comb looks very very small and hasnt gotten bigger and compared to other...
I have a almost 9 week old light brahma that i can not tell if its a cockerel or not. Its face is pretty pink/red and has like little wattles but its comb is the same as it was it hasnt gotten any bigger. what male specific feathering is there on brahmas i dont know how to tell, but the chick...
So ive receive help throughout the past couple weeks but would appreciate more help. I have a light brahma chick that turned 7 weeks old as of this past Tuesday the 18th. I really just need help figuring out definitively whether this is a cockerel or a pullet. As im not positive on sexing breeds...
Update today around 6 weeks turned as of tuesday. Still around the same size comb. Shes is bigher than my lavender orpington female but shes no bigger than my maran female so size wise she seems normals cause i know marand are alsp fairly big
There was so pecking and some of it looked aggressive but this morning when i tried it didnt seem nearly as aggressive. They were still pecking but from a new person perspective i didnt notice it in a severely aggressive way more of a territorial way i think? Is that normal
They were kinda just stancing up the little ones and then chasing them away. And ive had the little ones in their brooder box in the hen house at night so they have shared the same space for a while just not any physical interactions yet
So i have 4 laying hens all around 23-24 weeks i believe and a new batch of an addition 4 all 6 weeks as of today. I have had them outside in a seperate cage attached to the chickens run separated by wire. I put them out there around the 2nd of august so they have been put out their since they...
Are there any negative signs that you can notice? I feel like the main thing throwing me off is her waddles but then again they arent huge theyre just a little more red idk if its cause shes white or what but thats whats throwing me off
update: 39 days so almost at that 6 week mark and this is how the chick is looking. The comb is still roughly the same shade and hasnt gotten any more red but the waddles are starting to get a little red. I did see a video online talking about how since brahmas mature slowers males would still...
I noticed that mine does have a little bit of waddles going on like they're a little but red ish not sure if the pictures caught that but the chick is also near fully feathered out and gor tail feathers really early i know not always signs of females i just think that terms of size and...
Cause mine i believe is at 5 weeks currently and was hatched on the 1syt of July. Im not entire sure as yhe chick has some pinkish but almost fully feathered from what i can see which i heard is common in hens for a breed that matures alot slower cause males already naturally feather out slower...
So im just a little anxious about finding out one of my chickw was a roo and now im a little worried about all of them. Im aware that these types of breeds mature slower so i have no idea what i should be looking for, i know how to tell on regular breeds like with combs but seeing as how brahmas...
Im not too worried cause this is what one of my hens looked like when they were anout 16 days old and i worried about her too. But they seem to be growing the same way as my other hen did so im optimistic for sure
Yeah im just posting occasional updates. Only big red flag is im not sure why but one has a significantly bigger comb than the other. Might just be how big he/she is but thats just the pne thing ive noticed im awarebits too early
