    Convinced of Roo, but was a Hen?

    Has anyone ever been convinced their chicks were Cockerals/Rooster only to be surprised with a Pullet/Hen instead? If so, what were your experiences? Was it the early development of Comb/Wattles, behavior, feathering/patterns, or even the crowing? I want to hear about your sneaky tomboy hens! :D

    The boys will be going to a new home tomorrow :(

    David and I are newcomers here, and we're absolutely amazed by how quickly you all embraced us as part of the "flock" and made us feel at home in the coop. In a previous post, I mentioned some surprises we encountered this week when we discovered that 8 out of our 10 sexed pullets were actually...

    What to do with a roo

    Hey guys, I just found out I have a bantam (cockerel) that I cannot keep. I don’t know what to do. I was going to call the feed store I bought him from to see what a solution is but I’m pretty sure they won’t take him back. I can’t butcher him because he has a name (little dude) and I am just...

    Hi all, first time posting on this thread. We just got our first baby chicks from TSC on Saturday. They were labeled as straight run production reds. They are likely a week old plus or minus a couple days at this point. We've been researching production reds, but have run into some confusing...

    Barred Rock ~5 weeks old - male or female?

    Hi, everyone! Chicken newbie, here. Is Henrietta/Henry (?) a male or female? I purchased her from a local feed store sexed as a female Barred Plymouth Rock, hatchery stock.

    I know it’s probably too soon to tell but I thought it’d be fun to guess. Suppose to be all pullets, fingers crossed they are! Their brooder upgrade is in the mail and will be here Friday! I got them one of those playpens to stay in until they are able to go to their brooder box in the coop! It...
