    Hi all So these two were 7 weeks old yesterday. I was confident barred chick is cockerel, from yellow circle on head when new born, and down not jet black, and flatter ridge between beak and comb. I thought other chick (part silver lace wyandotte) was a girl (but thought had Barred...

    Might be too soon

    Hey there. I have a a little chick and I’m not sure the gender. He/she hatched on the 15th of July and is a speckled Sussex frizzle mix. (I’m so stoked about how this will look) I just wanted to know if anyone could tell. But I feel like maybe too soon?

    My month old Ancona chicks

    Good afternoon everyone so these are my 1 month old Ancona chicks one of them has a red comb developing while the other is smaller, but they both have these on the tips of their tail feathers. It’s hard to tell if they’re baby feathers fading away or rooster feathers growing

    Breed ID for new chicks? Sexing too early?

    Bought a coop for our two 5-week-old chicks off a local farmer and they offered us to take some of their day-olds also. As tempting as it was to take a bunch, we decided to add just two to our flock since we are worried one of our older chicks could end up male (😞) leaving our other one alone...

    Hatched chick sexing ?

    I hatched 2 chicks by accident a week apart. Any way to guess their sex this young for fun? It doesn’t really matter, we just are curious! First 3 pics are the almost 2 week old and the last pic with the white head is almost 1 week old in 2 days. We just adopted the moms so breed is unknown...

    Trying to confirm if male or female.

    I think I can tell pretty well by the feathers, but just because this is mixed with a silkie, and it's so small, I can't see the comb by the feathering, I want to be sure. The mom is a silked EE, and the dad is a Black Swedish X Americauna for melanistic gene with blue eggs. Is this a Male or...

    Rooster behavior in young chicks?

    When the chicks run up to each other and size each other up, is that indicative that those chicks are males? I have 5 two-week old chicks and only some of them seem to do that facing off behavior.

    4mnth old BLRW - Blue laced red wyandottes: hen or roo?

    I return with my 3rd post of these 3 chickens, who are now almost 4 months old (3 months 3 weeks). Hopefully they will finally be old enough to definitively sex! I've been confident for a while that I have 1 pullet (n.o 1), and 1 rooster (n.o 3), but n.o 2 is throwing me off. Has a smaller comb...

    BLR Blue laced red wyandottes - 8 weeks old

    Combs not very visible in pictures as they're a rose combed breed so hard to tell & at the moment they all look the same. Believe 3 is a pullet and 1 & 2 are roos, but wanted some input to be sure. Basing mainly off the neck feather shape and the fact that 3 feathered significantly earlier than...

    5-6 Week Whiting True Blue Sexing

    Any input on this guy/gal? They’re 2 days short of 6 weeks. I’ve been concerned about their comb coloring up. I got them from McMurrays on April 10th and they’ve been raised outside by a broody hen.

    Comb to gender theory accuracy?

    I’m hearing that as far as the pea comb goes 3 means a male and one means female has that been accurate for you? Has anyone noticed what they thought was a pullet develop a 3 row pea comb and turn out to be a male or still female? Also with tail feather developing later has then been accurate...

    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...

    Lavender ameraucana and silkie hybrid chicks. Can the sex be determined through wing sexing? Help!

    Hi all, I have two recently hatched (just a day old) chicks that I’m wondering can be sexed. There is a lavender ameraucana and another one crossed with a silkie. From what my knowledge is, I’d assume we have a hen and a roo- but I’m not very sure. May anyone help? Thanks!
