I currently have only one out of 16 hens laying. However, a couple days up to laying to now laying for two days, this hen has been sticking to the coop/run area vs free ranging with the rest of the flock. The run and coop part does normally stay open so the chickens can come and go as they...
Hi everyone! I live in New Zealand, or Aotearoa with my family and pets. We’ve got 5 Australorp pullets around 2 months old. We got them two weeks ago, and are loving the new addition to the family! They are free-range chickens, and we’ll be expanding their garden space in a couple of days...
Hi,
I have a 15 week old chicken, supposed to be a pullet, from hoovers Hatchery. Was in a bundle of their colored layers pack.
She is such an interesting looking chicken with a kind of poof on her head. I'm trying to figure out what kind she is, any help would be so appreciated!

So this...
I have a single whiting true blue pullet I would like to find a home for. Mareks vaccinated and healthy young bird, very cute white with tan markings. Her hatchmate was killed by my older hens in a failed flock integration and I don't want her to have to live alone.
Located in Charlotte, nc.
These are my two 8-9 week old chicks that I’m starting to worry about. One of them (at least) is crowing in the mornings. Can you tell which is a cockerel? The tan chick is a Buff Orpington. Not sure about the black one.
Age is a guess. Adopted this one. Possibly 11 was old. I have been sus of a roo since we brought the baby home lol. But I've never had this breed, or whatever it is mixed with, only Wyandottes. Legs are long and the feet are massive. The feathers seem a bit pointy in places, compared to my...
I got 5 maran chicks from TSC but only 3 survived, and two of them have white/gray legs and one has yellow legs. I'm wondering if that's a normal thing or something else.
Maran #1
Maran #2
Maran #3
I have the gorgeous little frizzled naked neck baby and I’m struggling to sex it. It was hatched first week of may. I was pretty sure it was a pullet due to lack of wattles but the reddening is throwing me off. lmk what you think!
I think we have a Midnight Maran cockerel. We already have two adult (almost 3 years old) male buff Orpington. We thought the Orpington our neighbor gave us was a male but I think we are wrong. I’ll post a few pictures just to see if anyone can help confirm! Thank you!

4.5 month old mutt breed pullet laid 2 thin shelled eggs under roosting bar last night! These two would have been her 4th and 5th eggs.
One is nearly translucent very soft and burst upon impact. The other is slightly more solid but still see through as it looks like it didn't fully create its...
I have a white crested black polish, 3 months old, beautiful pullet. A week or so ago she lost a lot of feathers, couldn’t stand up well, and kept bobbing her head. She was very light, our first idea was her feathers got in her eyes so she couldn’t see the feeder. We took her to the vet who gave...
Ok so I’ve been a little in denial because we’ve been hoping for only one rooster but I fear we have 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we got from a friend, who hatched them in an incubator. These chicks are 8 weeks old. The are buff Orpingtons and the gray and black ones are Green Queens. So the...
Hi there,
We have a 10.5 week old chicken that is so pretty, I am hoping it's a hen. (Our neighbors turned us in for our roosters a few months ago, so we hatched out a batch to keep some of their babies.)
The bird in question is a Brahma/Production Blue (black austrolorpe/RIR mix). We are HOPING...
Supposed to be a California Gray... Although I haven't seen any photos (including ones of roos that have poofy head feathers like this one).
11 weeks old
Bought locally @ feed store; chicks source was Ideal Poultry.
I only got one of this variety so I don't have another to compare with...
I have two black Australorps and two Ameracaunas I purchased straight run from a backyard breeder. They are 11 weeks old, is anyone able to tell me if they are pullets or roos?
I added 5 pullets and a cockerel to my flock of 5 hens over a month ago, and recently had to tube feed one of the pullets because she became lethargic and I realized she wasn’t eating. Upon watching them, none of them eat nearly enough, and it appears to be that they’re afraid of the hens. There...
Good afternoon everyone so these are my 1 month old Ancona chicks one of them has a red comb developing while the other is smaller, but they both have these on the tips of their tail feathers. It’s hard to tell if they’re baby feathers fading away or rooster feathers growing
I have this 8 week old Light Brahma that is supposed to be a pullet but I am questioning it. What do you think?
Also, she/he has slipped tendon. She is doing good so far with it. She’s as healthy as a horse and gets along on it fine. She uses her wings a lot to get around long distances. We...
Hey! I have 2 lavender Orpington and 1 Black Copper Maran (I think) Chick. They are all 5 weeks old.
I’m leaning to all being pullets but wondering your thoughts? The lavenders are sweet and docile but the BCM is skittish and flighty. Have has all since hatched and handled daily.
Thanks!
