    Help with sexing 2 barnyard mixes

    These two are approximately 3 months old. They have me stumped because of the flat combs. We have over 50 chicken and I’ve been able to tell them apart by now or way sooner. But this comb type and feather color is new to me, so I’m second guessing myself. Please give me y’all’s opinions. 😊...

    EE/Ameraucana 12 weeks old - I think no roo?

    Okay. So all my “girls” are 12 weeks old now and I think we don’t have a roo. The biggest girl who’s definitely top of the order has been my main concern but at this point, her comb isn’t redder than any of the other ones and they all seem to be rocking similar feather patters. I don’t have...

    12 Week Easter Egger - Confirming Rooster?

    Hey all! I have four Easter Eggers that I've raised from day old chicks. Supposedly all female, but we have one that is definitely a rooster (not pictured) and one that we are only pretty sure is a rooster. Can someone please just confirm or give hope? I need to put this to rest. Obviously we...

    12 week old Australorps Roo or Hen??

    Hello! I’ve attached photos of my 4, 12 week old Australorps (that’s what we were told they were anyways) and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they are roo’s or hens? I have a feeling 3 of them are Roos but I don’t know too much about sexing! They have colour identifiers on their feet :)

    11/12 wk old golden laced wyandotte and EE

    First time chicken owner! These 2 chicks are the most outgoing of my crew! But with only 1 of each kind for their breed I don’t know if they are Pullet or Cockerel?!? They also seem bonded, always together. The EE is constantly talking, we tell S’mores to stop being so uptight 🤣. I have 4 Red...

    Parrot Beak

    Hi there. I wasn't sure where to post this so pardon if this is in the wrong thread. We have a chicken with parrot beak and it's causing scissor beak. We clipped it per research a few weeks ago (worst experience for me not so much the bird) but it didn't help. Any tried and true ways to fix...

    Is it normal at this age?

    So, I don’t know the breed, but is it normal for an almost 12wk old rooster to already be getting jiggy with some hens? I was spending some time with them and El Diablo just went up to our 4wk old Cornish cross hen and grabbed the neck feathers and went at it. I’m new to all this so I don’t know...

    Do I have 2 Roosters!? 12 week old Wyandotte & Orpington

    Hello, I am new to backyard chicken farming. We purchased 7 “female” newborn chicks in April (born 4/1/20). They are now about 3 months/12 weeks old, all different breeds. We received an “extra” Wyandotte that is I believe is a rooster. Another one that I purchased, a black Orpington, is also...

    Small lethargic 12 week old cream legbar

    So I got a few chicks from my local feed store 12 weeks ago. (I already had 4 three year old hens) All are doing great except for 1. About 3-4 weeks ago I noticed one was a little lethargic and looked to be getting bullied by the other 5 babies (all the same age and have been together since I...
