I bought a pair of easter eggers from a local garden store when they were 2 days old but they're about 6 weeks now. The owner said there was a 5% chance they might be roosters. I think the darker one might be a rooster. Any thoughts?
I just adopted this chick from a sanctuary. Can anyone help me try to identify:
-Age
-Breed
-Gender
The woman who found the chick had her (well hoping it’s a her) for at least 2 weeks. Any best guesses are welcome and appreciated!
I bought a blue astralorp, welsummer, and deleware chicks at a feed store a few weeks ago. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out these chickens. Do they look like hens or roos?
I got these two birds from our local feed store in the grow-out run at *maybe* 6 weeks old. I know that one is a barred rock, just unsure of the sex. In the second photo, the barred rock in questuon is standing next to a known pullet of the same age. The white-headed chick, I am completely...
I have recently started raising a buff Orpington! (And I’m obsessed with her) I read a lot online about how to sex a chick when they are extremely young and the most common way was to look at the feathers. She has the two layers of feathers and they are different lengths. Her wings are extremely...

Im not 100% sold this is a roo... the comb is slightly bigger than my other RIR but it’s nkt really red. So I’m wondering if there is a slight chance it may be a hen. About 8/9 weeks old
Got some new babies yesterday and I’m soooo excited! I have a variety of breeds to ensure year round egg laying. The ones I’m most excited about are my ameraucanas! Just really wanted to show my babies off, what do y’all think?
Ok, I researched the butt out of Golden Comets because I wanted to make sure I got good temperament girls to go in with my 1 Barred Rock and 2 Ameraucanas--little did I know I could get a surprise 2nd gen red roo. Please tell me this isn't a Roo!!!! He/She is the sweetest one and I've of course...
Help! I can't tell if I have hens or roosters. I think they are about 10 weeks now. Two leghorns and two sexlinx what do you think! I'm new to all this
This is my first time raising chicks and they’re still alive at 5 weeks!
I have only one aracauna in this batch and it has grown much faster and feathered sooner than the others. Today I also noticed her/he trying to peck at me as I held each of them in turn for inspection. Just wondering if...
I purchased a “sexed hen” from a hatchery, he/she/it is 2 months old and has just started call and redonse crowing with my 4 week old barred rock bantam rooster. She’s my first polish chick and I have no clue how to sex them. If she’s crowing does that definitely mean she’s a rooster??
Hello everyone! Lovely to meet you all! First time chicken mama here & I was curious if you all could help identify our mystery chick Cocoa. She was the only one of her kind at the feed store when we got her. The lady said she had no idea what she was but thought maybe Ameraucana cuz she was...
Hello all! I am on week 12 of raising my first EE's and I absolutely love them. However, there is one that seems to be a little different. She (?) is usually in her own corner and the only one who will not come near me. She (?) has a pea comb and it was a little more red than the others. I...
