    hen or rooster?

    Hi, I have a (roughly) 6/7-week-old mixed-breed chick and I’m pretty sure she’s a hen but I just wanted to check. She’s around the same size as all my other female chicks and her comb is practically non-existent although I’m not sure if that’s just because she was picked on during her first...

    Golden Laced Polish, hen or roo?

    Golden laced Polish from feed store, labeled as pullets. 6 weeks old. Is Cheeto a girl or boy? Hair might say boy. Comb and waddle both have a scratch on them, but what do we think besides the scratches? The air is very dry here, which may be contributing to scratches and retained sheathes...

    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...

    What sex are they??!

    Hi, we have silkie chickens, one is a cross breed chicken I think. They’re both about 1.5 months old so 6 weeks. It’s hard to tell as they both have characteristics and features of both genders. Quite desperate to know and would be appreciated thanks!
