Hello everyone , I have some chickens and I’m not sure what kind of breed they are and what their gender is. I would really like to know in order to see how many egg layers I will have. :idunno
So I bought some White Leghorn chicks at Stock & Field about 4 weeks ago. Two of them have grown faster and are much the heavier than the other chicks I currently have. Part of me thinks they’re fast developing Roos or are just completly different breed. What do you think?
We got an assorted group of chicks about six weeks ago and we have figured out the breeds of all except this one, and we aren’t sure if this little one is a he or a she either. Can I get a little help figuring all this out?
So, I’m not sure the breed. My husband said Andalusian or golden laced Wyandotte but I really don’t know. Also, not sure the sex. Any thoughts? I really appreciate it! He/she is 6 wks old.
Hi,
I brought some eggs and put them in the incubator (as you do). They have hatched all different breeds and now I don’t know how to tell if I have any pullets
Hi,
I have a mixed flock of eight chicks: 10 1/2 week old Blue Cochin (one is black other is...splash? Idk), 9 week old Lavender Marans and Americauna, 8 week old Wheaten Marans and Olive Eggers. I’m having a bad feeling that many of them are cockerels. Only one that I feel positive is a pullet...
I have 4 unsexed chicks and was wondering whether you could help me solve, the case of boy or girl? As well as their breeds based on their feathering. Please see below images.
Chick 1
Chick 2
Chick 3
Chick 4
Please let me know what you think.
#1 grey Batam I believe to be a rooster
#2 TINY hen bantam? This little grey tan brown girl seems sooo much smaller than the rest!
#3 white and brown/red and tallest of my bantams, long thick legs
#4 brown and black but the tail has a GREEN sheen! I have two of these and one has a comb that I...
Somebody gave me this chicken in exchange for an EE that I gave them. They said they don’t know how old it is but it’s almost full grown. And they also don’t know the breed or gender! It’s pretty small. About the same size as my Old English Game Bantam. Any guesses as to how old, gender, and...
A teenager in my neighborhood bought 2 chickens from Tractor Supply. and did not want them - so I took them in . I THINK they are about 7 weeks old. This one does not appear to be aggressive but it is I would say it is confident and relaxed.
Anyone have an idea if it is a hen or rooster.- and...
Hi Everyone,
I am brand new to raising chickens, brand new to this site, and this is my first post so please be gentle.
I incubated a mixed bunch of eggs and they hatched on March 22nd, so they are now 9 weeks old. The only information I was given about the eggs was that any five toed chicks...
Hey all, my first post so sorry for any errors. I got my chicks on March 19th, so it’s been about 2 months. I got them from tractor supply (pullets, they said.) They were sold as two Australops, two Asia blacks. I’m posting pictures of the four chickens. I’m nearly positive the first is a...
I’m new to chickens and I purchased 10 from my local co-op that where labeled as silver laced Wyandotte’s but I’ve had them for about 2 weeks and after some research they look more like black sex link to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Complete newbie here. I got 10 chicks from the local farm/tractor store. Was told I had 3 Wellsummers, 3 Assorted Wyandotes, 3 Aracaunas, and 1 Barnevelder. All but the Wellsummers have eluded me with their breeds, until now...I Think. I did some research on the Characteristics of each breed. I...

We are a newbie chicken family and have adopted some chicks from a local kindergarten class. THey came from a white, blue and 2 brown eggs. The chicks are now about 7 weeks old.
I think I've ID'ed the black as an Easter egger. Not sure about the white or brown ones. One brown chick has a more...
So on April 1st, my mom and I bought 6 chicks from our local tractor supply. We have been talking about chickens for a while, and trying to just become a little more self sustainable as best as we can. I know the black one is a silkie. But the rest.... I have no idea.
Also, is it too early to...
Hi everybody!
I bought four “heavy pullets” from TSC and I just wanted to make sure this one is a female and also ask anyone’s expertise on what breed she may be. I’m sure pretty sure the other 3 I got are a barred rock and two like red sex link chicks but with her I’m stumped! She was a smoky...
