this baby came from my first ever batch of hatched chicks, out of the smallest pink egg i was sent. i know she is half salmon faverolle, but the male sire could be anything from black/white cochin to black copper maran.
she is very faverolle-heavy though, her momma did the heavy lifting...
I have a pullet who is a ‘Midnight Majesty Marans’, but her comb is way darker than her two ‘sisters’ combs. They have a reddish comb, but she has a pitch black comb still. She is 16 weeks old, and hatched in early February. I included a picture. Any good ideas on what could be going on?
Any idea on breeds or gender? Thanks

#3 snowball is 7weeks old and not a bantam
I currently have 1 pullet and 2 cockerels and I was watering their grazing boxes and I came across what looked like egg shells. It was just a few pieces and they were very thin. I have no idea how since everything I’m reading says they shouldn’t lay until they’r about 4 months and she’s about...
Hello! I would love your guesses on whether my lovely Blue Olive Egger is a pullet or a roo. He or she is exactly 4 weeks old, most likely a Copper Maran and an Ameraucana mix. Purchased as a pullet from Ideal Poultry. Comb is very light pale pink, no signs of wattle at the moment. Thanks in...
hey guys, I wanted some input as to what gender this chicken is. They were supposed to be sexed but I’m beginning to question my Australorp.
She’s the most vocal of all 8 chickens. I have some mystic marans and barred rocks as well. But my Australorp is the loudest and is attempting to crow I...
My babies are 7 weeks old and it’s amazing how big they got! Just had to share, extra excited since it’s my very first flock <3 Piper likes to be at the highest point, I wonder how long they’ll be able to sit on my head lol
Can you guys help me sex my 3 month old silkie chicks? I know it’s hard to sex silkies and best options are to wait until they either crow or lay an egg but sometimes a few are really obvious so I wanted to see what you guys think. How many look like they might be roos and how many might be...
My largest pullet is about 5 months old, an easter egger. One week ago I noticed her stumbling and tripping over her own feet. Her legs seem to have gotten weaker, and she has a hard time walking without falling over. Her tail is sometimes drooping, sometimes upright. Only possible trigger I can...
Hey guys i recently hatched out some game fowl eggs and would like to know what breeds/type they are. All of them are about 6 1/2 weeks old. Any help is appreciated.

Hello all, I searched but haven't found a match with this condition. This speckled biddy started limping slightly almost two weeks ago but was, and is still, walking, jumping, foraging, eating and drinking with her sisters, which we bought as hatchlings. They're integrating with 7 older birds...
Hello all, thank you for your assistance with this! I just got some pullets, 4 months old, a few weeks ago and one of the rhode island red's is unable to walk, she has her legs splayed out and although she can move them, she's unable to be mobile. She is also gaping and holding her beak open...
I’ve been posting so many sad things on here lately that I felt the need to share something nice!
Of course, it still comes with all the sad stories that led to it, but some of the April showers really did lead to flowers—or at least, the friendliest batch of chicks I’ve ever raised!
It started...
bought this chick from TSC listed as a “olive egger pullet” from week one I’ve been thinking it’s a cockerel due to lack of tail feathers and size of comb. Chick is now three weeks old. Any guesses what breeds were crossed to make him? What about sex?
Here is a four week old lavender Cochin. The tail feathers aren’t coming in like other chicks. The comb is larger in comparison. The legs seems to be thicker. This chick tends to square up to other chicks more so than anyone else. Do I have a cockerel on my hands or is there still a possibility...
I’m suspecting two of my supposed pullets could be roosters. Could anyone help me?! They are almost eight weeks old. Blue jersey giant and buff Orpington
1) first go around with chickens got 9 straight run chicks first week in December and two pullet/hens a couple weeks ago.
(2) weeks have 11 chickens right now it’s looking like 6/9 of the straight run chicks are roosters leaving 5 hens
(3) cuckoo marans, black copper marans, cream leghorns...
Bought these “girls” five weeks ago and I’m starting to worry that I have two Roos. I wouldn’t mind having roosters if they were allowed in my city but unfortunately I cannot. What do you think? I love them all so much. They are all so sweet!
I think my barred rock and buff might be Roos…I...
