This is Genghis & He’s auditioning to be “The” Rooster. But not being sure what exactly he will pass down is giving me pause.
He’s a 12 week old BYM that I hatched. I think he’s an Icelandic maybe Ameracauna cross??? I know they had both. I don’t think he’s full Icelandic, but who knows.
He...
What do you guys think these two babies are? I’m leaning towards cockerels. They are 12 weeks old.
Back story - we had a BYM roo that we LOVED. We lost him to a fox and decided to hatch some of our hens eggs to try to get another like him. Chick 1 looks just like him when he was around this...
This is Bam Bam. BB was hatched a week before Easter and is just a little bantam mix. BB is staying no matter what gender. We are just curious as first time chicken owners. So hen or roo? Thank you!
Hi All!
One of my hens (Travis - long story but yes she’s a hen) went broody this week so I got 7 BYM fertilized eggs, from a local lady with a mixed flock, to give Travis a shot at hatching and raising some chicks!
Excited to see what happens! Numbered them off so we can tell if anyone else...
Hello hello! (I’m a story teller so this is a little winded)
So we decided to try to hatch out some eggs from our flock for the first time(none of our girls have ever gone broody and they have been laying for almost a year)
Anyways…the process did not go as well as I wanted it to :(
We used...
This is my first time owning baby chicks. Previously, we purchased laying hens. Any ideas one sex and the breed? we purchased all 8 from a local farm and I’ll give you the dates and mom/dad’s potential breeds provided! I would love your thoughts, I know it’s early but I am just dying to learn...
im having trouble telling the gender of my two bym bcm also if anyone can help, funny thing is when they were younger i thought the bigger one was the rooster and the smaller one was the hen, but now i think its the other way around because the smaller sounds like it crows now
I've got a Mosaic x Easter egger, basically a super mutt, that looks like a mosaic but lays blue eggs. I would love to hatch some of her chicks if they could be a similar color of plumage and lay colored eggs. Is her coloration considered Columbian? Or is it not a true color, just a mix with a...
This BYM I picked up today was hatched towards the end of September. This is another in my never-ending quest to get my oldest daughter her own chicken so I'd like to see what everyone thinks the gender here might be. I hope the pictures are alright, we just brought them home today.
First, these pictures are bad and I'm so sorry. These are from a seller and I don't have anything better.
We've had really bad luck with my oldest's chickens: they've all been roosters. She wants her own chicken and so far no one around us is selling hens so we're doing our best to find a...
Any thoughts on these 9 BYM? They're around 5ish weeks.
I'm pretty sure I have three roos but I'd love to hear what others think.

Hello! I have 11 bym mix chicks between 5-6 weeks old. These chicks I'm curious on, can't quite figure out gender yet (I know it might be too early to get a conclusive answer, but I'm curious!). Parents are from a breeder and a a possible mix of french marans (black, blue, lavender, and...
I could really use some help with guesses on what these chicks might be. I'm pretty sure most of them are just BYM/EE/OE but the brown one has heavily feathered feet (I couldn't get a picture because they like to sit, constantly) and the black and white has some very light fluff on their legs...
These babies hatched the same day, from BYM eggs, on March 26th.
I was reasonably confident that they were both cockerels but now I'm second guessing myself on the lighter of the two chicks. Are these two boys or is the lighter chick possibly a pullet?

Hey everyone! Hoping to get some input on a couple mixes we have right now. They are 8-10 weeks old and I’m finding the mixes harder to sex than the Orpingtons and Wyandottes we’ve had.
I am questioning four of them. First, this little fluffy cheeked cutie definitely acts like a rooster, but...
