age

Three weeks ago I bought my first button quails, both females. They had bald spots in the store, but luckily the feathers grew back in a week. I was wondering how old they were and whether they were mature or not, since I am really looking forward to eggs. I made some mugshots of the birds...

I posted yesterday asking about some eggs & never got any replies, but I really need some help! I need to know when I should take the egg rotation device out of my incubator. How far along are these eggs? What am I looking at in the first picture? Any help is appreciated! 💕

at what age should I be holding my ducklings or chicks I haven't held them in quite a while because of one of my pekins dying and when I do hold them they freak out and act as though I'm a predator. what can I do to make them like me better?? And once again thank you guys for all of your help...

Hi i have two chickens that im pretty positive are roosters but wanted to be sure and i am also wondering what breed these two are if anyone can help. I can get more pictures if needed. There is no functional spurs but have spur buds although i know some hens can get those also and they have the...

Hi all. We took in an abandoned pair of peafowl last week and think they’re quite young, but aren’t really sure. We’re anxiously awaiting next spring to see how many eggs the hen may lay, but as for the peacock, he appears to only have a single eyespot on each side. If I had to guess, I’d say...

I have one Buff Orpington chick that I think is about 6 or 7 weeks old (correct me if I'm wrong), and when I got it, I was told it was a pullet, but I've been worried she's a he instead. I only have two chicks at the moment, the other is a younger EE mix who I was able to feather sex when she...

Hi, I was wondering what breed and sex these two are ? We think they may be barnevelders!

Recently got 2 silkie pullers. I’m certain that the white one is a pullet, but unsure of the black one. Also am unaware of their age, but thinking 3 months

Hi all! So I have some guinea fowl that hatched on May 24th. They ended up all being females, which was a blessing. I've owned Guineas for a few years but I've never had females- only males. So I'm super happy to have these. :D But my question is- when should they start laying eggs? They're...

Any thoughts on age? What about gender? My barred rock seems a bit older. They were both straight run but I read up on traits to visually sex a barred rock and tried to go with a less “flashy” EE. I know it’s still early but hoping for some guesses. I can’t have another cockerel.

I recently got two ducks. One is a Rouen and I’m assuming she’s on the younger side. However, I’m not so sure about the other. I think she is maybe a Blue Swedish mixed with an Indian Runner? I’m really not sure about her age, though. The guy I got her from said they were both one year old. That...

We bought these chickens from a local tracker supply 5 weeks ago. I believe they were only 1.5 weeks old when we got them. They told us they were all sexed female Golden Comets… As chicks the two looked extremely similar, but one was always larger and became significantly larger in short...

Can anyone with experience with silkies gender guess? What should I be looking for? Thank you

I'm a new chicken mama looking for help identifying the breed and sex of these chickens! They were in rough shape when we brought them home, missing feathers in some places. The lady we purchased them from told us they were Black Copper Marans, but I'm not too sure. We're also not 100% that...

So, a day ago a got three lil’ chicks, however I don’t know their breed or age, but I was able to guess their genders. The black is named Mocha and she’s a girl, the one with a brown stripe across her head and back is Michu and she’s also a girl, and the last one, the yellow one is named Chichi...

Hello, As you all are fully aware, TSC chick days are in full swing. I went one day to prepare for chicks & ended up getting some "bantams" that were sick. Thankfully I nursed 14 out of 15 back to full health & they're doing spectacularly! My only concern is, do you think these guys are actually...

Ok so my chickens are a couple weeks overdue according to the usual 6 months egg laying age. There’s only one girl with a less predominant waddle but all their waddles are bright red. I have provided them oyster shell grit, regular grit, and egg laying feed. They aren’t hanging in a specific...

We were told this chick was 4 weeks when we got it so would be 7 weeks now. It was sick in the interim (so maybe slow development?) but also wondering if it was actually <4 weeks on arrival. Any gender guesses always appreciated!

I don’t know if this is supposed to be in here or if there’s some other place for this, but.. does anyone know how to figure out the age of a chicken. My silver Lace sebright “Lace” i have only owned for almost 2 years now. She is old i can tell that but I don’t know her age. Her eggs don’t...
