I hatched some eggs that were supposed to be Red sex links. I assumed the white one was a male and the dark one was a female as chicks are with sex links but they seem to be the opposite! Are they a different breed? They are 3 months old now. One crowed over a month ago but not since...
So…. I picked these up from the local Hatchery/Feed and Mill store. I believe they get their chicks from Cackle Hatchery. I picked up 2 EE chicks to round out my flock. Peaches is sweet and a gorgeous silver white color and loves treats. She’s small compared to Fanny Lou. Fanny Lou is a cuties...
I'm new to raising baby chicks and unfortunately where I live I am not allowed to have any roosters and so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what gender they think my 13-13 week old chickens are.
(Please ignore the pecked at feathers, the little chickens are in a separate cage but it is in...
Help me identify what sex each of these backyard mixes are! Rooster was an Ameruacana and two have copper maran mothers, two have buff Brahma mothers and 1, has a Cuckoo Maran mother.
This little angel is 11 to 12 weeks old. Been battling health issues since I got him. His name is Billiam. Facebook groups are saying it's a female and a BBW. Cal ranch sold it as a heritage. Is it really a meat bird?? He is being treated for zinc toxicity. This baby has the will to live. Ive...
Hi there everyone! People with Syssex experience will be needed here and with knowledge of saddle feathers!
The reason is this. Often there can be one rooster chick who develops a comb very slowly and throws people out. Or vice versa. The other roosters w obvious combs are easy to tell and...
Poppy (or Papí 😬😅) here is a barnyard mix.
I’ve gone back and forth on whether it’s she or he.
12 weeks old.
Thoughts?
Bonus points for possible breed mixes?
My 6 yr old granddaughter wanted chickens, which means now Nana has chickens and I have spent 3 months learning to chicken. 🤣 Started with polish and expanded to ISA’s and RIR’s. I have learned its a slippery slope…
I have combed the forums tried to compare pictures with others who have posted...
I grew up with chickens at my parent's house, but this is my first time owning them myself! We bought our Light Brahma chicks from Tractor Supply. They said they were pullets, but we're thinking Twinkie here might be a roo! Can anyone help us?
I keep silkies and recently got this one. Have them indoors for quarantine. Was told it was a hen and looks very hen like to me but recently started making this noise while im preparing it breakfast(youtube link). Its 12 weeks old hatched on halloween. I think it might be a rooster and I already...
Hi there! I've raised a few batches of chicks over the past 10 years. I have not raised any EEs yet but inherited a couple of adults in the past. My daughter recently hatched one from a friend with a flock of EE's and other breeds. So, I'm not sure exactly what breed this one is. He or she is 3...
Hello! This is my first time keeping chickens. Was sold this bird as a pullet amerecuana, recently realized she/he is probably an Easter egger but I have growing concerns he/she is a rooster. We are not allowed to keep roosters in our area. For reference he/she is very confrontational tho...
Hi all I have this chick that is truly throwing me. They were hatched out approximately May 21st, and came from a breeding pen that had Red Laced Blue Wyandottes and a Black Laced red wyandotte in it. I figured big red face is a boy, but I know wyandotte patterns aren't usually as showy on boys...
I have an approximately 10 week old starlight green egger, that's what I was told she is anyways. Her comb has started to come in a lot faster than my other hens and it's made me question if she's a roo. Any advice?
I just did the math and shes closer to 9.5-10 weeks.
Thank you!
need help sexing 12 week old Easter eggers. I’ve been told by multiple parties that they are pullets in person. However, Facebook people are saying cockerels. lol. They’re developing quite similar to my other hens who ended up laying, although people said cockerels. No noticeable roo behaviors...
I’ve posted my sweet Delawares a couple times at different ages. They’re roughly 11 weeks old now and I REALLY want to finally give them names 😁
What does everyone think?
Soooo, please tell me no.
My Easter Egger… might be my 3rd roo?? This is 12 weeks old EllieMae. No boy sounds, comb looks pink to me and scrawny legs - but I’m getting a vibe from feathers. And she repeatedly has been bossing around my barnevelder boy. So far 2/5 from my supposed to be female...
I bought five new chicks from a farm supply store. They were supposed to be all female. But one has been crowing a lot lately. It has a more developed comb than the others and acts as the dominant one.
I think they are Wyandottes. They are three months old. This is the bird in question with a...
