pullet

I’ve posted my sweet Delawares a couple times at different ages. They’re roughly 11 weeks old now and I REALLY want to finally give them names 😁 What does everyone think?

Hey there! I have a 6 week old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chick. First time raising this breed. Does it look like a cockerel or pullet? It stands upright a lot and herds other chicks. Its neck feathers are still coming in. Any chance it could be a female?

We have two lavender Orphingtons, this one we are on the fence on if it’s a Roo or a Hen? Almost 7 weeks old. Any thoughts? Or characteristics to look out for with this breed in the coming weeks? Thanks for the input! We will continue to wait until we hear a crow and then will have to find this...

Hatched April 1st looking to be Pullet or roo?

Please tell me I still have a chance for atleast one of these marans to be a pullet! Almost 5 weeks old. First pic is of our for-sure cockerel who was hatched the same time as the others around 3/25.

Hi everyone! This is Bagels, she is from a repeatable hatchery and should be a she…but I am concerned due to her patterning she is looking more like a He! 4 weeks old…too early to tell? She got her tail feathers VERY early but I don’t have any other BR’s to compare her too! THANK YOU! ☺️ I love...

Just curious on these NN. Thank you.

My marans purchased as straight run chicks are now 3 weeks old. Pullets or cockerels!? Chick 4 is my splash marans, chick 3 is my blue marans, and chick 2 is our other splash marans.

Hi All. First post. Forgive me if i do not incldue all the information. We have 6 Five-Week Old Chicks from TSC. We got them under the guise of Calico Princess Pullets (They were not labeled as straight run). In the first picture you can see the ones that actually are Calico Princess but we got...

Hey guys! So I bought a couple chicks from the store. I have a black copper maran chick and he/she is aggressive. Idk if that’s common for the breed or what. But every time my hand goes in it pecks at me. None of the other chicks do this. I got them on March 7th Let me know if you need...

Hello all, I have a silkie pullet that I bred that does not look like a normal paint. Her spots are very dilute, she looks like a blue paint. I'm wondering if anyone knows the genetics behind blue paint? My understanding with typical paints is that a bird with a dominant white gene breeds with...

so I bought these chicks three Saturdays ago. I know my local tractor supply receive them on that Thursday so they’re like three weeks and two days old the two blackish ones are supposedly blue Australorps, but they look to me how my plymouth barred rock looked, so now I’m confused did they mess...

I bought what was supposed to be BO from TS: then it dawned on my that their wing feathers are black and white. Is this a mix breed or even an Orpington at all?

I have 4 silkie pullets available. 3 blue and 1 black. All very sweet. I believe the 2 older blues (under 1 year) are laying but the younger 2 should be by this year. 1 - breeder quality blue hen. 5 toes, blue ears, good comb. Asking $100 obo 2 - pet quality blue hen. Has a comb defect, but...

Hi all! I'm looking for recommendations for any local hatcheries in Oklahoma or breeders. We're in Guthrie and only allowed hens so sexed is preferred, but I understand that isn't always possible. I'm not set on chicks, but looking for good layers. We're newbies and do want some family friendly...

Hello there all you lovely chicken-experts, we got a first egg from Ella our Easter Egger today and it was a biggie (70g) 🙌. It’s got us wondering what she might be crossed with and if we might have a blue egg layer crossed with a Brahma or Cochin maybe 🤞🏼? I ask because I noticed a few rogue...

Hello all, happy Sunday. We’ve lost a hen today, very suddenly and I’m wondering what could have happened. She is a new layer, started laying about two weeks ago and had laid about five eggs since then with no apparent issue. Her most recent egg came yesterday afternoon. Yesterday she was her...

I am trying to figure out if my 4-5 weeks old chick is a cockerel or pullet.

I have a chicken named Frank that’s feathers grew in fully sheathed. At around 3 or 4 weeks old I noticed the chicks head slouching. I separated it from the flock and babied it back to health. Eventually it was able to raise its head again but took a very long time to grow feathers. The feathers...

I'm not sure. At first I thought hen... makes a lot of noise but no neck stretching and crowing... squares up against my other hen one and awhile
