I know this is supposed to be impossible, but what do you think?
They are five weeks old
This first one I'm guessing roo. He's the only one starting to get a comb and his head feathers are growing back instead of straight up
This one I'm guessing hen. no comb yet and head feathers are...
We decided to add to our flock, 2 roosters to 11 hens and they were starting to fight a bit. I found a craigslist listing for 8 hens for a good price so I went to pick them up.
It ended up being a young girl, in her early teens selling them. she had a set up in a barn with a lot of large...

My cousin brought me these, her cute baby chicks turned into chickens and she had no place for them lol Luckily we have a huge coop and only 7 right now, so these are being slowly introduced to my flock. I'm thinking they are between 12-16 weeks, but not positive, I'm Hoping ones a rooster, we...
