So I have three chicks I'm curious about. Two of them I'm pretty certain of (the black one and the single comb), but the red one I'm now wavering on. I know it's still a bit early but I thought I would ask! (I also have six polish chicks that I know will take much longer to sex.) These are all...
Hello!
I'm hoping that someone can provide me with some insight.
Last summer, I ordered 8 Splash Ameraucana eggs and incubated them - 1 hatched and is still alive. That chicken is now 6 months old and I am having a difficult time determining it's gender.
My other roosters, who are relatively...
Hi,
These guys were supposed to be cuckoos, due to the feet coloration we are thinking more barred rock, but I was told due to some of the coloration they don't appear pure bred and are probably mixed.
Most from TSC, red banded chick is from rural king. Around 8 weeks old as of Yesterday...
Hi,
So I just want to confirm at this point what everyone thinks of gender for these two?
They will be 9 weeks old on Saturday, June 29th.
And I have a question/need advice in regards to these two...
*Self Blue Old English Bantam - Around 9 Weeks - From TSC
*White Cochin Bantam - Around 9...
I’ve posted on here before but haven’t gotten any conclusive answers, i has hoping now that they’re a bit older people would have an easier time identifying them? I have a india blue male (Juno) who i adore and a white peafowl (Fixit) who i have been going back and forth on gender guessing since...
So, this baby was hatched on March 25th from a barnyard mix but given the feathered legs, I'm pretty sure they're a cochin mix of some kind. Could be wrong though! I was wondering, though, based on tail shape and the feathers on the shoulders, would you say this is a cockerel? They don't have...
Hi everyone! I’m new to BYC and to chickens. In May I got 6 Rhode Island reds, and I’m wondering if these two are hens or roosters? They are both 16 weeks old
The first three are one chicken and the last two are another. I’m open to any suggestions because I’m not really sure.
Thanks for helping!
Ordered all of them as presexed female one day old chicks. Have a feeling there’s a few roosters in the mix but they’ve got me stumped. Maybe a trained eye can help. My EE’s and faverolles were a breeze to sex; these two breeds, not so much.
The gold laced Wyandottes are 11 weeks today and came...
I have two ducks both about 7-8 weeks old, I was told one is a crested black Swedish and the other is a blue Swedish/Rouen mix. They are both so quiet, one still makes a peeping noise rather than a quack and the other has a raspier sound which we assume is male but they both have a very slight...
Hi everyone,
It is my first time raising chickens and I bought 2 Ameraucanas and one Partridge Rock. They are a little under two and a half months old now. As my partridge grows, I am noticing different looking tail feathers and rapid growth of waddles and comb. The comb started coming in a few...
Hello!
So I’ve raised this one for about 24 weeks so about more than 5ish months. I sent pics early on asking if they were Roos or hens and the feedback I got said hens. Well her crop is a bit large? I’m not familiar with this breed but from the pics it seems a bit bigger. I know not all...
Hi everyone - long time chicken keeper, first time chick mama!
Wondering if anyone can take a guess at the gender of these three chicks. Up until a few days ago I was convinced the black pekin was a pullet and the white pekin was a roo - black pekin was by far the most timid and had a more...
Hi! I'm new on Back Yard Chickens. I love this website, and I come here whenever I have a question (which is what I'm doing now)!!!
I recently got 3 new chickens, two of which are Salmon Favorelles, Miss Blackbeard and Suzy Lou. Suzy has no beard, and her face doesn't have many feathers on it...
hi! My name’s Jackie, this is my first post. I’m in WA, and we just got our first chicks this year. I bought 2 olive eggers and 2 black copper marans from a local farm (plus 2 ameraucanas from our farm store). The farmer put 4 black, nearly identical chicks in the box and I don’t know which is...
This little one is about 4 months old. Not crowing. Pretty round crest. Narrow comb, but fairly large waddles. Also, is it normal for Silkie wing feathers to be picked and ragged like this? We have 2 silkies. Both around the same age. Both have ragged wing feathers.
I’m betting that it’s the little one, just Becuase she turned five weeks and has a red comb already and just somehow looks like a boy to me. My question is what do you guys think? We have three chickens. Two are pullets I believe. We have one buff Orpington 7 weeks old, one barred rock (or...
I have two sultan chicks at about 8 weeks old. I got them from Meyer and ordered for only female chicks. I have polish hens and have already gone through the growing up of them as chicks, but sultans are a little bit different and harder for me to tell the sex. I’ve never actually raised them to...
We're fairly certain that we've got a handsome RR roo on our hands but we're fairly inexperienced and wanted some confirmation. (He's about 10weeks old) Also this is my 8.5 week old EE and I really find it impossible to tell. So far almost no comb just a few tiny nubs
