7 weeks old

I’m new to raising chickens, I got eggs from my friends farm incubated 24 ended up with 16 ): I will be incubating more once these lay eggs I’d like to have 20-25 hens and some roosters. I don’t know if mine are mixes or some pure would like some input. Also I feel like I have a lot of...

I got this sweet baby from a local breeder as a lavender Orpington. I was skeptical from the onset because I’ve seen enough lavenders to wonder about all the yellowy white fluff. Anyway, the barring is consistent enough I’m thinking lavender cuckoo?? Also, gender is confusing me so. It’s very...

Hii! First time ever posting :D I got two almost 7 week old chicks that had been super slow to feather, and I fear they may be both cockerels. Their parents are also muts so it has been really hard for me to tell right away what are they :S is it still too early to tell or i'll have to think...

Hello! I was wondering if you guys had any though of what sex these SLW and GLW may be? I though only Chico may be a rooster but unsure. They are 7 weeks old.

I have two beautiful showgirl chicks I need to re-home. I got four and I just can't keep them all there around seven weeks. I'm not sure on the gender neither one has been outside but need to go out soon. If you're interested please let me know.

Pullet, I hope!

Hello! I am new here and have a few questions. We bought three chicks that are now 7 weeks old. They were sold to us as black Australorps. I believe that is accurate for the two black ones, (Peppa, and Bruce Wing), however I am stumped on the other one (nugget). Nugget is beautiful but his/her...

They just turned 7 weeks old today!

I have a 7 week old white leghorn that was a pullet but now she or he has this huge waddle and comb. I really hope it’s not a rooster I don’t want fertilized eggs and I have 30 females. Can someone please help? :) thanks in advance.

Hello All! Before I begin, I will mention I did attempt to search for this answer on here, but couldn't really find the answer in regards to our situation. So this is our first flock and I have no experience when it comes to when is the right time to put my chickens out in our big permanent...

Hello Chicken Lovers! Thought I'd share this bit of news with you, since I'm always seeing posts asking about when roos start to crow. This morning, when I was out in the coop, my July 18th batch of chicks were scurrying about, doing their chicken thing, and one of the little boys (they are...

Hi All, I have already talked about this before and I have updated info. My baby chicks will be 6 weeks old and fully feathered this week. When they are 7.5 weeks old I would like to put them outside (temps high 45, low 25). Is a temp of 45/25 too cold for chicks at 7 weeks old? I am going out...

Urgent! 7 weeks old and just started crowing. Live in city and need to find homes as soon as possible

Hi everyone, Pictured below is the very outgoing, curious, friendly, brave little 7-week-old chicken that we named Rooster ("Roo") for short. I know, not the most creative name. We hope she'll be one of the many pullets named Roo. I started to have my doubts about her gender early on, because...

Hi all, So we got golden laced Batman Cochins from a registered breeder just under 2 months ago. This morning 4 out of 5 were dead/dying by noon. No signs of injury or anything and they were fine last night when I but them away. They are in a coop and run with other Batman Cochins and silkies we...

I have a few 7 week old easter Eggers and lav orps that I need help sexing! Here are pictures. This is Florence the lav orp. I'm pretty sure she's a pullet. Lady Bird. I suspect Lady Bird may be a roo... Helen the Easter Egger. This photo is from two weeks ago. Helen's coloring and...

new to the wonderful world of chickens and would love to hear what you guys think? This little one is about 7 weeks old, a blue laced red wyandotte and I'm not sure if it's a he or a she?!? Thanks in advance!

Ihave to Pekin ducks that are, I would guess 6 or 7 weeks old. I was wondering when it'd be safe to allow them to roam around the yard alone without having to fear them being attacked by a preditor. Oh and one more thing, when will or how many weeks more do I have to wait to be 100% sure about...
