Gender guesses for this sweet baby? It’s the first and only chick I’ve ever hatched! Thrilled baby is 6 weeks old and doing great.
Any guesses on cockerel or pullet?
I had no problem determining my polish genders.. the silkies were very hard. Now that this cross is completely new to me, I...
Hi, I have 4 silkies all about 10 weeks old. I think #4 is a girl because her wattle and comb are under developed compared to the others. Any thoughts about the others, all boys? Thanks.
hello there guys, so the title says it all here in this case, last couple days now about four i noticed my rooster has had hard time pooping which he never does he was making straining sounds too while he does go and had runny diarrhea like poops but they looked normal other wise. I believe he...
Does anyone have any examples of the difference between a 4-5 week old maran pullet and cockerel? I have some marans and am having a hard time distinguishing the difference as their legs, combs, etc seem to be rather similar. I understand its probably too early to tell, but I'm just curious to...
Hi folks! I have 4 EE chicks that arrived mid February. I originally ordered three, but four showed up in the mail. I suspect that one is a rooster. None of them have outright distinct rooster/cockerel characteristics at the moment. But this one definitely displays the most rooster-like...
Hello everyone! New to the group and I was here looking for a little help. Feb 28th my chicks were shipped , I ordered from Cackle Hatchery. I ordered 3 Welsummer pullets, and 3 Barred rock pullets. They threw in a extra barred rock which turned out to be a cockerel. Now I’m questioning 2 of my...
Earlier today my Blue Mille Fleur Old English Game Bantam rooster passed away. I have 2 Blue Mille Fleur Old English Game Bantam hens now and need to get another rooster for them. Does anyone in Ohio have a rooster of my breed that I can buy?
Hello Everyone,
I'm a new chicken keeper based in Southern England. I have Burford Browns, Legbars, a Maran and few Orpingtons. My young male Orpington was bought along with his flock from a single and reputable breeder. Though since ive had him he has had terrible sore looking dry flaky...
I’ve got a flock of buff Orpington Roos I am taking to butcher today. I’ve got one hen that I know of, but I’m trying to decipher if this is one as well. They’re about 21 weeks. Not enough daylight to lay eggs.
I know there are some Cochin people on here…s/he has looked just like this since about 4 weeks old. No growth, no change in color…and all the other boy Cochins have very obvious combs and wattles. So when I compare to the other chicks, I feel like she is a she…but I figured I’d get second...
Hi everyone,
I am brand new to backyard chickens and need help.
the person I bought these off have said they are all hens and doesn’t know what age they are.
Can you let me know if you think they are all hens and an approximate age if possible?
I’ve attached below a picture of one of our Blue Australorps. We’re stumped on weather it is a pullet or cockerel. The other 3 that we got with this one ended up being Cockerals and have crowed but this one is yet to do so. It is currently 13 weeks old. Any ideas on what it might be?
Thanks! :)
We bought 4 beautiful chicks back at Easter after our own didn’t hatch. There were kind of a pick and mix of spares from a mass breeder so we didn’t ask breeds. We were advised they were girls at the time but there would be a slight chance of woopsies.
This morning someone in the coop was...
Out of the 5 birds we let our hens hatch this year, 4 of them are all but confirmed to be Roos. I know, how unlucky can you get? Well, they are starting to cause problems and we need them gone. This is the last big hurdle for me as a chicken tender before I leave for college next month, but im...
Is there an official name for this colour? Jeremy is 4-5 months old and is still getting his gold laces, but I cannot find any pictures of chickens with both gold lacing and white on their heads. He had a light orange head, black body and white underside as a chick.
Hey guys I need help figuring out what to call this color. This cockerel was born in May this year and he’s a result of multiple years of cross-breeding my flock (multiple breeds), so I can’t really pinpoint what combination of breeds he is. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
And here he...
