    Joining the Hen or Roo game

    Here is my new flock! I have 5 Lavender Orpingtons (5 weeks old) and 3 Diamond Duchesses (4 weeks old - chicken math… I needed more), and I’m brand new to raising chickens. We’ve been talking about doing this for years, and now that my son is almost 3, we thought this would be a fun way to start...

    Ruby or Reuben? Rhode Island Red, 5.5 weeks old, can't tell if it's a pullet....

    This chick was hatched by one of my hens 5 1/2 weeks ago. I feel like the comb on Ruby/Reuben is larger and pinker than my older RIR pullet was at 5 1/2 weeks. But there are no wattles. Its posture is usually very low to the ground, very skittish and shy. I had to make an alarm call to get the...

    Help Sexing 5wk Chicks

    I hatched 14 chicks in April and I’m wanting to know what gender they are. They’re 5 weeks old and majority are fully feathered. They glitched and the letters are out of order for some reason so sorry about that! Plus the pictures aren’t the best, they were hard to keep still! :wee

They were supposed to be...

    Sexing and determining breed of 6 week olds, and other questions

    First time user, bare with me here, you can answer whichever you like… 1. I’ve got 3 chicks, and I don’t know what their breeds are. Leghorns? Orpington? The two bigger ones (1&2) are supposedly 6 weeks and the 3rd is 5 weeks. Might be stupidly obvious, but I also want to know which is male...

    Distressed Quail..

    I wasn't sure what category to put this thread in, as this isn't really an emergency. My quail has been sitting, quiet and frozen in the sand bath for the last hour after my younger sister (she's eight) ran past my quail cage screaming something about Nutella. My quail, who I was happily...

    What breed and gender are these 4-5 week old chicks

    Alright, I confess, I made a big mistake when I decided to bring my three boys along to pick up some chicks. I was completely unprepared for the constant begging and puppy dog eyes. The game plan was just to get three, but somehow we ended up coming home with nine from a straight run. In the...

    Mud ball caused foot injury??

    I just noticed a piece of mud or poop on my 5 week old chickens toe. I soaked it in warm water and got it to come off. However, it totally left an indent and his foot is misshapen! It looks like his toe nail could easily be pulled off it is like dangling on from the indent. Is he ok? What can I...

    Chick’s breed 🐣

    I recently hatched two chicks, and so far they are doing really well! I am quite new to chickens, so I’m not very experienced with breeds and all. I was wondering if any of you chicken experts out there knows what breeds my chicks are? I posted about them a little while back but everyone said...

    Easter Egger - Pullet or Cockerel?

    Hi there! We recently started a small backyard flock, and I've been lurking on this forum for the past few months as we've been gathering information and learning the ins and outs of raising chicks. There's lots of great resources and information here! Anyway, here I am with the classic "pullet...

    Sold as "AZURE" mix?(+ the rest for fun) 5 week picutre for now (WILL UPDATE)

    Just to be clear, I understand it is probably too early to tell what sex these dudes are, I have my guesses, but I'm a total noob when it comes to chickens. I'm mostly curious what this chicken (chicken #1) really is because I have a feeling like "azure" isn't actually a recognized breed. I...

    Buff Orpington Male or Female?

    Hi everyone, my buff Orpington is about 5 week old, and I am having some concerns about the sex. When I first got him/her I had a feeling that it may be a rooster but I thought it was just my nerves. Where I live, roosters are prohibited so I would like to know what he/she is ASAP so I can find...
