Hi All!! This is my first post on BYC and my first 2 months with chickens... LOVE them so much already!! All of my chicks were purchased just days-old, now all about 7 weeks old. Here’s a pic of both my Buff and Lav Orpington taken today. I hunch the lavender cutie named Viola might actually be...
Hi there! This spring we started our first flock of chickens, and since we are in a fairly urban area we are really hoping they are actually all hens. Paloma, our splash Andalusian, is developing quite the comb and wattles already. They are all just about 7 weeks old now, so I'm hoping that...

First time chicken owner. We got ten chicks from a feed store and they are six weeks old, was wondering if could tell the genders? Hoping for more hens then Roos fingers crossed.
Hi guys I’m new to this site but hoping to find some insight. I recently got some bantams and I’m beginning to think this little one poppy is now actually a Bobby. Any thoughts on breed and sex would be appreciated :)
I’ve always thought this was a pullet but when I posted her on a Facebook page someone said she looked like a he...
around 4 months old, unsure on the breed.
Looking for some opinions.
Thank you!
“Daphne” is 20 weeks. It was the smallest of the flock at 8 weeks and would try to eat out of the others’ beaks. It is now the largest and tallest of the mixed flock. This morning it crowed. Is “Daphne” really “Donald”? This one is definitely the boss of the pullet flock.
Hey y’all
I’ve posted two pictures.
These are lavender crosses
We have never hatched them or have had them hatch by a hen until now. Our three ladies came from a breeder
Anyways these two were hatched by our little bantam Linda.
My hubs thinks roosters. But They are half polish, so maybe that...
Looking for your help, guys! I've got four birds that I need to figure out if they're hens or roos. Two are brown/multi, one is white, and one is black and white. (We need to get rid of the roos, per law). Thanks in advance!!! (My guess is the white and white/black one are hens).
Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and relatively new to chickens too. We got 6 chicks about 2 months ago and 5 were sexed pullets and the RIR were unsexed so we decided to take the gamble. They're about 8 weeks old now and we think we have a little boy. What do ya'll think?
Cockerel Or Pullet?
I have 2 English Lavender Pullets(hopefully). One 12 weeks, the other 14 weeks.
No idea what sex they are, but hoping hens. There are no Roos allowed in our city, and we love them.
Thank you!

Hello!
I have 3 hens who I got just before they began laying this summer. They were my first chickens, and now I'm obsessed.
I now also have 3 Sapphire Gem baby chicks I got from Bomgaars, straight run bin.
I read every single forum post and comment about Sapphire Gems beforehand to try and...
So my blue Orpington is somewhere between 13-16 weeks old (not sure because it was already some weeks old when I got it). It was free because the breeder said “he” is a cockerel. I named “him” Elvis and now I’m really thinking that “he” is a “she”! What do y’all think, do I have to change the...
