So its my first time rearing chicks and I know it's probably a bit early, but hoping someone more experienced can give me an idea, thank you. They are all Brahma around 6 weeks. I can of course take more photos if it helps.
Note: #4 has a bit of wound care applied after cutting his/her comb...
Hi we have 5 chicks we think out of the 5 2 are males so that’s be the 2 white, and the rest are girls, what are everyone’s thoughts?
We heard the feathered one coo or attempt to anyways and the other white which is pure silkie just hasn’t got that rounded tail or hair on its head.. if we...
Here is my little chick, 4 weeks old. It's a weird mix breed.
I've never had a v comb chick before and I don't know how to gauge the gender at 4 weeks.
Alot of my single comb chicks make it obvious early on so I know what I'm looking for but I'm not sure how tall v combs grow, how fast they...

Here we go again!
Got 7 chicks for you guys to throw your guesses at. This is not my first rodeo with raising chicks and if you followed my original run, I was really unlucky with the Roosters (6 R/9 H). It's time again to have a guess - I'm well aware that attempting to sex them this early is...
We got a chicken 3 months ago and it started crowing when it was 1.5 months. And now it crows every day. But we read some articles saying the barred rock will crow to show her dominance especially when there is no rooster. We also get three more hens and they get beat up by her sometimes and one...
Hen or roo?
Just wanted to know your opinion. The rest of this cuties hatch mates seem to be roosters defined red comb already very pointed saddle feathers.
I’m thinking pullet but just wanted to be sure.
Let me know your thoughts!
Edit:
She is 6-7 weeks.
I hate to admit but I’ve...
I recently had a hen go broody and I got some fertilized eggs from my neighbor. She successfully hatched 2 of them and they are now almost a week old! They are happy and healthy and living with the rest of my flock. I know one hatched from a brown egg and the other from a dark green egg. Does...
Hello! I’ve posted several times over the past 4-5 months about these two buff mysteries and I still can’t decide what they are…breed OR gender 🤦♀️
They were purchased from rural king as “English orpingtons” 🙄 they are definitely not orpingtons. They’re absolutely gorgeous birds I just wish I...
Common ol question lol.
Now these babies are only 3 weeks old so I know it would be difficult to identify, BUT i feel like i could already tell the rooster to the hens. Opinions?
These are Black Australorp chicks bought from a breeder on Ebay amd hatched in an incubator by myself.
I have 2 supposed hens here - 12 weeks old, but I’m wondering what others think. The neck feathers on both of these the pattern gives the illusion that the feathers are pointed but the actual feather appears rounded at the ends on the neck when I look closely. These two are likely Easter Egger...
I have a white 11 month old coturnix quail. I bought her when she was 6mo and she was sold as a female. However I’m not sure anymore if she’s a female. Her behaviour sometimes is similar to what my males was. He would run to sit on the egg after the female had laid it. My white female does the...
Hi!
My name is Lexi. I got two ducklings from a farm here in the MIA, and I’d like to see if anyone can help me find out if they’re male or female. I think they’re two different sexes, like one is a boy and one is a girl, but I’m not entirely sure.
Thank you!
Hey all! A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of my chickens. I was trying to figure out their breeds and sex. Their age is roughly in the 9 to 10 week range. I think we have the breeds established, but I am not sure about male/female. Here are some pictures, what breed I think they are, and I...
