    4 Week old BYM comb development… male or female?

    I hatched a few BYM hatching eggs and ended up with three pea-combed chicks. While all 3 of my single-combed chicks ended up visibly male, only one pea-combed chick so far has shown any comb development. However, while the 3 cockerels constantly size off and challenge each other, I’ve never seen...

    Olive Egger chicks: males?

    One is 6 weeks old and the other is 7 weeks old. "A" hasn't crowed yet, but the comb and wattles look very pink for the age... "B" has crowed twice in 7 weeks, but the comb is still pale in comparison with the brother (pictured in 1st comment below) who has a dark red, larger comb. I was hoping...

    Still can’t figure out what these birds are!!

    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...

    Comb to gender theory accuracy?

    I’m hearing that as far as the pea comb goes 3 means a male and one means female has that been accurate for you? Has anyone noticed what they thought was a pullet develop a 3 row pea comb and turn out to be a male or still female? Also with tail feather developing later has then been accurate...

    Blue Black Splash Ameraucana's/ Easter Eggers

    Hello all, We ordered some blue black splash Ameraucan's and 2 easter egger chicks. I don't know how to tell what colors they are for the Ameraucana's and I think the 2 Easter Eggers are the ones with the light head and the darker bodies but I just don't know. And the colors range between pale...

    What am I?

    Got this baby out of an egg I hatched from an order meant to give me Croads and Marans. Clean footed, 4 toes. The comb is cool, and I have no idea what style it might grow onto! Hubby says she looks like a vulture. Lol. Any insight? Breed? Sex? I've got mostly Marans, EEs and a couple Barred...

    Cross beak chick - thoughts on M/F?

    Ok I know she’s still really young (2.5 weeks), so not sure if this is even worth asking at this stage… but does anyone think this chick is a he? She’s a blue egg layer - either an EE or a WTB (not sure as I got some of each in my order and they all look different). But the three-rowed comb, the...

    Easter Eggers Roo or Pullet

    So my cochin bantam hatched a batch of easter eggers for me May 2 and 3rd 2021, making them almost 5 wks today. I have some good guesses about who may be a Roo or a Pullet and would love some input from more experienced people, I've never hatched before and want to double triple check before...

    [8 Week Update] All Pullets? - 6 Week Old Easter Eggers (Favaucanas)

    I got these three sexed from My Pet Chicken, but I'm always going to worry because I'm not allowed roosters. They all feathered/matured really quickly compared to my Orpington chicks last year! I know that it's impossible to see their legs in these photos, but all their legs look similar to one...

    Mystery chicks and new to pea combs

    Every year I hatch chicks for my school. I get the eggs from a local feed store. This year, due to covid concerns, I had to order my eggs online. I ordered from the "Fun & Funky" collection plus they tossed in some random eggs (that were labeled with breed). I have 5 chicks. 1. Easter Egger...

    Is Johnny Cash a Black Sumatra? Worth how much $?

    I need to sell this 8 month old rooster (named Johnny Cash ). I bought him with 8 other black English Orpington chicks from a large Texas hatchery (The Feathered Hatchery) but knew right away that he was not one of them. I am not personally familiar with Black Sumatras; they also breed Ayum...

    Is this a walnut comb?

    What is the longest that your pullet has taken to develop a comb?

    I have 6 pullets that are 17 & 18 weeks old. All are nice size girls. Two (1 & 2 pictured) have small but noticeable combs, one (#3) has a pea comb but it is so dark that it is barely noticable. Three have flat rose combs (I think) but not much redness to the combs, although their wattles...

    Ameraucana? Tons of pics to help identify.

    Hi, I bought these as chicks, the guy said the parents were: a black ameraucana and a brown, (I think the brown was the hen, and the black the roo, but can't remember for sure...) As far as I can tell , they meet the breed standards for a true ameraucana, but I'd like to get some more...
