breed & gender

These babies came from Rural Kings straight run bins. They're 7 weeks old. Do we have cockerels or pullets? Any breed ideas... especially the black and white. If we remember correctly, we think Easter Eggers, Lavender Orpington and maybe Starlight Gem?

Wondering what breeds and genders these two are. 1 red and 1 blue. They are just over 9 weeks old. Got them from someone who got them at tractor supply. He doesn’t remember what they are. They were sexed as pullets.

Okay so we got this little chicken from a friend of my niece They hatched them from eggs at school then let kids take them home and her friends parents decided it’s a lot to have a chicken so offered it to me because I was planning on getting some more chickens anyway. I believe it’s around...

This year was the first year that we have roosters and could have babies of our own, so I couldn’t resist letting my broody hen sit on some eggs! We hatched out four little nuggets and it has been a fun game trying to figure out who the parents are since none of the eggs hatched belonged to the...

I’m curious on what you all think the breed and sex of these chicks may be. They are barnyard mixes that my broody hen hatched from a local farmer. They are currently 8.5 weeks old. I think at least two are cockerels. One is for sure a cockerel. He just started trying to crow. Strangest sound...

I’ve attached some pictures of my new baby girl Biscuit. Biscuit is an energetic and very loud little chick. She’s over three weeks old now and lives with two baby Easter eggers and a Wyandotte of the same age with no problems. She is a pretty dark brown in colour with no spangling yet that I...

greetings. i found an egg carefully hidden under some leaves right out in the middle of my yard on April2. i successfully incubated and hatched the little guy. i assumed it to be a wild mallard...however the duck is almost 10 weeks old...and is huge! he looks more and more to be a domestic...

Hi all, Thanks in advance for reading this post! 3 weeks ago I found this little baby running around in my yard; I looked for hours for her mama or siblings, throughout the neighborhood… to no avail, she was all alone. No expert here, but I’m pretty sure she’s a she! Long and short, I’m new...

In April 2022, we hatched our own eggs that came from a friend. They had previously hatched eggs from their flock in the past and all chicks are identifiable. Now comes my turn… The only rooster in the mix was a red colored EE/Americana. The only hens are EE/Ameraucana mix with 2/3 sapphire...

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...

Hi all, I am trying to figure out how many pullets and cockerels we ended up with. We have 2 Rhode Island Reds, Honey and Rue, and 4 rare breed bantams. The ones we think are speckled sussex bantams are Tasty and Cinnamon. The ones we think may be barred rock bantams are Dumpling and...

Hi everyone! Can anyone take guess on what these guys are. Even simply suggestions if not pure bred of what mixes? Just for fun and curious 🧐

First photo of ducklings in blue pool: I’m picking up these two cuties tomorrow to go with my 4.5 week old saxony, Rouen, and mystery ducks! I’m thinking the brownish one may be a khaki Campbell and not sure on the black one? Can someone help me ID? Other photos: I have posted pics of my...

Hi folks! This 8ish week old pullet came from Cackle Hatchery’s “rare breed” selection. Any idea what she is? Sorry there is no pic where she’s not being held-she’s a feisty one.

I got them from TSC they were plain yellow ducklings. They are 6 weeks old.

I went to Tractor supply and they had all of their chicks mixed up and couldn't tell me what was what. Do y'all know? All I know is it's a bantam.

So this is the next step in my journey of questions, a continuation of: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sex-of-two-pekin-ducks.1528865/ We have guessed so far that this is most likely one male/1 female, but as they are probably between 5 and 6 weeks old, nothing has been concluded...

Hello Everyone. First time Chicken owner here and have been feeling like quite the idiot the past few weeks. I recently purchased some chicks from my local TSC. I should have payed more attention, but that is my own fault, as I was going after “unique” and “pretty” chickens. I need help...

This was a chick that was given to me by a neighbor who didn’t want him/her. Some breed ideas have been thrown around but I was wondering what breed it looks to be now? Also what gender does everyone think he/she is? Age estimated at almost 6 weeks old. TIA!

I had a pair of chickens and one passed. I got these two babies to be with the lone lady in my flock. What gender are they and what breed? They are 'barnyard mix' but maybe they resemble a particular breed to you all? What age do you think they are?
