    What gender is this black sex link?

    Hey BYC I have two 13 week old black sex links but one of them is taller than everyone else and has huge waddles, bigger than everyone else (The second photo is the other one that’s probably not a rooster)

    Black sex link or Australorp

    I was told black sex link but I feel like the more pictures I see she looks like an Australorp. This is one of my three (teenagers I call them) Raven 🐦‍⬛ I do not care either way just wanted to see everyone else's opinion. I love the way she shines in the sun.

    First time having chicks, suspicious rooster behavior

    Hello! This is my first time posting here after lurking for advice while the chicks were younger. I have two adult hens (red star and ISA brown) in my backyard that I got as pullets, but after one of my hens decided to have a brief egg-eating stint (solved by the mustard-in-eggshell trick...

    Introducing 3 pullets to a single game fowl hen

    This may be unnecessary, but I feel the need to give some background on the issues I'm having. Just before Christmas of 2024, we had a lone hen fly into our backyard. I asked all our immediate neighbors if she belonged to them, and no one seemed to have any idea where she came from. We...

    Black sexlink too?

    Ok everyone, I’m going to do my best here with information. These chicks are 5 weeks old right now, we got black sexlinks from rural king, we also got australorps. They were pullets, looking back I may see a tiny (very tiny) white spot on the sexlinks head, but not positive. So my question is...

    Help! Nictitating membrane (third eye) not moving

    Help! I’m new to chickens and trying to do my best for them! I have 4 hens that are 6-7months old. One of my black sex-link’s eyes is closed at all times, and when I hope the lids, her nictitating membrane doesn’t move/remains there so her eye looks cloudy. No sign of respiratory illness - no...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...

    Trying to price BSL hatching eggs

    Hey all! So I have my Black Sex Link project in full swing and have successfully hatched 2 batches of chicks. But when I was in Agway today, a lady asked me if I had fertile hatching eggs that she could buy since she has a broody hen. She only wants 6, which is fine by me. But I'm having...

    Black sex link

    I ordered chicks from a farm store nearby and got 1 female black sex link but when I got home I googled it and found that males have the white spot. I assumed the man working there knew how autosexing worked so I didn't double check there. Is there any chance this is a female? I was told they...

    Black Sex Link Pullet? Or what?

    I got 8 chicks Wednesday from a local feed store (Steinhausers) now this one is suppose to be a BSL pullet (Black Sex Link) in the first 4 pics but it's looking like the Barred rock chick I picked out. Do they have white around wing tips? White specks under eyes. No spot on head, not even a hint...

    The production and longevity of Black Sex Links?

    I bought some Black Star / black sex link chicks by mistake last year and while a little dismayed initially to not have come home with what I thought I bought, I warmed to them when I read that they are an F1 cross of two heritage breeds (Barred Rock x RIR). My primary interest is in...

    Possible new low for Tractor Supply

    I had to go to town today so I stopped at Tractor Supply just to see what chicks they had. Only 1 tank: Cinnamon Queen pullets and straight run Black Sex Links. Wait, what? The CQ indeed looked correct but every single one of the BSL had a white dot on their head. All cockerels! I thought maybe...
