    The infamous question: Roo or Hen?!?

    Ok so I’ve been a little in denial because we’ve been hoping for only one rooster but I fear we have 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we got from a friend, who hatched them in an incubator. These chicks are 8 weeks old. The are buff Orpingtons and the gray and black ones are Green Queens. So the...

    Cayuga ducks 8 weeks old genders

    I have two Cayuga ducks, they are 8 weeks old. I know what the male and female ducks sound like, I've had several ducks before. I'm sure these are two boys, but I'd like another opinion on if it's a pair or two males. Thanks sooo much!! One makes a more lower raspy sound, the other kinda low but...

    Pullet/Cockerel? 8 wk blue ameraucana

    First time chicken keeper here. I ordered a mixed flock of “females” from Myers hatchery. I have a few suspect males, however, this one is my most “concerning” one at the moment. Hatch date April 24th 2023, just over 8 weeks old. Any guess on gender right now, or still too early to tell?

    Texas Heeler Puppy

    I got a female Texas Heeler Puppy (8weeks old) a couple days ago. And I am trying to get her used to the chickens I have. I have different ages of chickens. Today I walked her with the leash and she ran up to the chickens for a second, but then stopped. Then got bored of them. She had her tail...

    So... I bought a straight run of australorpes....

    Since I wasn't expecting barred rock, (I think)? I am not sure if this is a roo or pullet. All chicks are just under 8 weeks. There are 2 barred rock. Look the same to me. Both a little bigger than my australorpes and leaders of the pack. Any thoughts on genders? Any confirmation on breed...

    Pullets or roos?

    Hi everyone 👋 so we have four flock members, 2 faverolles (salmon and bircher) and two warrens/goldlines. I’m wondering whether the goldlines are roos or pullets.

    Old beak injury

    I have an 8 week old Light Brahma. I believe a rodent may have bitten her when she was about 4 weeks old. There was a mark on the top and a chunk out of her bottom beak. I have continued to watch it and it had healed with no issue. The beak has changed and now there is a noticeable pointed part...

    Sexing Silkies

    Hi all! I'm new to owning silkies though I've done quite a bit of research. I know that Silkies are notoriously difficult to sex, but I'm going to ask anyway - what are your guesses? We're really thinking we have one Roo (the lighter black one with a bit more pronounced wattles), and two hens...

    Pullet or Cockerel?!

    Hiiiii.. I have 2 Olive Eggers aged 8 weeks and I'm uncertain if they are male or female. The lighter brown one has a large pink comb with waddles so I tend to think male and the darker brown one has a short comb with barely anything on its neck so I'm leaning toward female. I've posted pics of...

    I have this 4 week old white frizzle cochin bantam. It feathered very quickly compared to my black frizzle so i was thinking it was a pullet. By the wing feathers at a 4 days old it looked like it could be a pullet. But now I'm thinking roo. what are your guesses?
