Hi! We bought 5 sex link chicks from a local feed store. 2 are gold sexlink, 1 is a red sex link, and 2 are black sex links. We were told they were all female, but one of the black sexlinks had a white spot on their head. I didn’t realize a white spot on a black sex link meant male, and it...

Please let me know if you think cockerel or pullet. I’ve labeled them in the first picture 1-4. I bought these from a Breeder who said they were all female. He says he checks gender by wings & he sells his cockerels to a company for butchering. Please let me know your thoughts, I’m curious about...

Hi all, I was in the process of hatching some cream legbars and this little one popped out. It does have certain markings but it is a completely different colour to any other cream legbar I have seen. Any ideas what breed it might be or is it perhaps just a very blonde legbar? They hatched on...

Good Evening all, I have 2 lemon pyle brahmaa, approx 4 months old. The combs are a darker red than the hens that I have. I am thinking its probably a rooster, what does everyone think?

We purchased a set of pullers (or so we were told) from the local feed and seed, and I believe they come from Hoover’s hatchery. We believe that the store advertised these as Starlight Green Eggers, which seem to have quite a color variation, but I haven’t seen many with these colors. The...

Barred rock chickens from the local feed store, all around 13-14 weeks. I thought all pullets since the coloring is very similar in all 4, but they’re developing at such different rates…and looking a tad too like in spots. Thoughts?

Hello, I have a 10 day old Speckled Sussex chick and I was wondering if anyone can help me sex it. I know that it is possibly too early to tell, but does anyone have an idea?
