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...
The first 4 pictures are the same bird. Trying to figure out if hen or rooster. We think we heard it cockadoodle. The last we are pretty sure is a rooster but just want confirmation. Also if anyone might know the breed? We are pretty sure they are mixed breed but don’t know what mix.
I know silkies are hard…however, the breeder is helping us out next week with rehoming some of our cockerels as we are unfortunately looking at 4 of our 7 chickens being male so far.
So, I’m hoping to get opinions on the remaining 3 (all silkies) we haven’t been able to nail down. They are...
Leaving my local park I had passed by a younger chicken of unknown breed and gender for a bit. After a while I noticed how it didn’t mind if I got too close and I caught it and brought it home to quarantine. My brother has named them Cutie.
Cutie has no physical issues or abnormalities but is...
I have 3 silkie chickens that are so different!
First pic is Bluey, I’m 99% sure this is a hen. She has no comb, no streamers, and just seems like a hen.
Picture #2 is Coconut. I’m 100% sure he is a Roo. HUGE comb and has streamers. And he has been crowing for maybe 3-4 weeks now. Super cute...
Hello! In May we got 6 chicks, two of which I think were a week or two old and the other four only a few days. They were all supposed to be female and are all different breeds but we’re starting to wonder if our Australorp is actually a male. (S)he is one of the older ones, so about 12 weeks...
Thank you so much! Praying for hens but we will see! I already rehomed one that I knew FOR SURE was a roo. I already have a silkie roo and want some hens so bad. 🤞
I've posted this suspicious EE at both six and eight weeks (pics at the link). She seems to be sticking with pullet, but wanted to get thoughts in case anyone sees anything I'm missing.
Sorry they're a little blurry - she's always on the move, usually to avoid our LB hen (who is also...
I have 4 Delwares about 12/13 weeks old. I keep going back and forth on if I have 1 rooster (black tail feathers) or 3 roosters (speckled tail feathers). Help please!
Hello! Curious to know what ya'll think of this 12 week old EE - pullet or cockerel. Heavy Ameracauna in them.
Not seeing saddle or hackle feathers.ter
Help!
I bought 4 chicks (2 partidge rocks and 2 Orloffs) back in February, then went back a week later and bought 2 more (an Easter egger and a cuckoo maran). They were all supposed to be females but I’m starting to think my orloff isnt a pellet…. Sally (Sal) is the same size as all the other...
