    Need help- pullet or cockerels?

    Hello, We have a 4 month old Easter egger. We think it might be a cockerel but I’ve read that EE tails can sometimes look curved when they are growing. It is best friends with one of our same age roosters, which makes me question if this might be a pullet. We haven’t heard any rooster noises...

    Which chicken breed laid this egg?

    This may seem like a silly question when you see my chickens and which breeds I am discussing here. Buff Orpingtons, Polish (unsure if bantam or large fowl), and an Easter Egger. This afternoon’s egg haul. The brown ones are my SGs. Bottom one is my 1yo KC duck’s. Top white egg is the one...

    Black dots & chapped looking combs on hens

    Hi! First time posting on here. My 20 week Austrawhite was the first hen to exhibit symptoms. She had black spots on her, but I was able to get them off with Vaseline. A week later I noticed a chapped like substance & black dots on her comb. My husband seems to think the spots are dirt and the...

I know the white one with the big red comb is absolutely a rooster, he started crowing about a month ago, but the rest I’m unsure about. The grey and black ones were advertised as ameraucanas and the...

    Ameraucana or EE? cockerel or pullet?

    This is my favorite from the flock. 19 weeks old. Quick backstory. We got 10 chicks and 6 are roos. Including this one. I say its a cockerel due to his crowing. The great thing is that its not as loud as the others Im rehoming and it has a great temperament. So we are keeping him. Now is he a...

    Gender Guesses on my EEs?

    I bought 6 straight run Easter Eggers. They are 8-9 weeks old. What are your guesses on genders? I took multiple pics of the birds and combined in a pic to help with comb/feathers/color/angles. I feel like first 3 are pullets. They are dainty, never fight and are just docile. Unsure on my last...

    I am wondering if anyone has guesses on my 7 week old Buff Orpington and 7 week old EE. Buff Orp: Easter egger/mutt really has me stumped. Her tail feathers grew in super early and she's pretty timid, but comb seems to be growing. Closeup of Easter Egger, in some lights the comb looks...
