    Time to play "Guess that Chicken's Sex!"

    We have 18 black australorp chicks- 5 weeks old. I know it's a little early to determine sex, but thought it might be fun to try. Technically, no more than 1.8 of these chickens should be male. But, you cannot have a partial bird (that isn't in freezer camp), so I will round to two. I think we...

    What breed is this? Roo?

    I have an unidentified 5 week old chick and as many do, I’m hoping it’s not a roo. I know nothing about black maran but I’m guessing this might be one? It’s bigger then my other chicks I got and I feel like it might have been older then them because it feathered earlier then the rest. It, also...

    5.5 Week Speckled Sussex, Roo?

    The large full tail feathers say hen, but the comb is starting to get pink so that tells me roo. It is also top of the pecking order (actually, the only chick I've seen throw a peck at another). Any thoughts from folks? It was supposedly vent sexed as a hen when hatched.

    We have 4 Cochin chicks total, all 5 wks old, two mottled and a blue and a lavender. The blue is 100% a roo, biggest comb I’ve ever seen on a 5 wk old, and the lavender I suspect might be a roo too but has a significantly smaller comb than the blue. The 2 mottled (identical to the one in the...

(S)he does have thick legs, though. I'm learning towards male...
