Hey guys! 👋🏻
I have anywhere from 8-10 week old Easter Egger. She/he is starting to make me think that it may be a roo. It’s neck feathers and and the tail feathers are long and sharp. It has a wing that comes up on its back as well. I am also wondering if it is developing crooked beak. It’s...
Hello everyone!! We recently got 7 chicks in a random assortment of ages.. these two are "easter eggers" i see those americauna cheeks! 😍 we tried to grab what we thought were pullets..whats your guesses??
Also... coloring... will they stay mostly white?! 😬🙈
I have no idea what other breed they...
Evening other chick parents,
please could I have your thoughts, guesses on gender, need to know how many coops I may need.
Pictures 1-4 named buckbeck- black buff Orpington.

Pictures 9-12-named hagrid no sure what they are told Orpington but seems to...
I have a roughly 10 wk old cochin chick,
I am stumped on gender, they're much smaller than the other chicks and a slow growth rate. I'm starting to wonder if they're a bantam breed?
I'm pretty sure this is a roo. Out of all 4 of my cochin bantams this is the only one that has developed a wattle and has a larger comb! Is it common for bantams to start showing those signs this early? (3 weeks old)
First 2 pics is our suspected roo.
The others I think are hens. Maybe too...
Hey! I purchased three silkie hens a year ago, I was under the impression they where all hens, but recently I have become curious as to the sex of one of them, she/he has an almost entirely different body shape to the other two, doesn’t brood as the other two do, and is vastly more vocal. I know...
Here on today’s edition of “Hen or Roo?”, we have a pair of 7 week -old Ayem Cemanis. They were sold to me as a pair of pullets, but I’m thinking one is a cockerel. One was hatched about 5 days after the other, so she’s a bit smaller. But she’s always had a tiny little comb and is very timid...
I have a gorgeous fluffy white silkie boy free to a good home. My area doesn't allow roosters so I'm trying to rehome him quickly. He's a nice guy, friendly and nice to everyone. He was hatched by a local NPIP breeder around XMas. I'm located just outside of Boston.
Hi all, so wondering if anyone can tell at this point. This is my little maran, I'm thinking it's actually a roo? What fo you all think or is it still too early?
Hi all, I'm new here and my chicks are about 4 weeks today. One of my little ones my Maran (which I think may be a roo not sure) sneezes every so often. He eating, drinking, active, happy just notice a small little sneeze every so often. Should I be worry ? There is no ocular or nasal...
This little chickie seems more bold than the rest. Jumps at me and pecks at me and chest bumps the other chicks. Won't run away when I reach for him/her (which is nice because my kids & I like to hold them). Is it too early to tell if a roo? It is one of 12 chicks of various breeds including 4...
Hi! New chicken owners here. We just got these three lovely chickens sold as 16 weeks / 4 month old pullets, two wyandottes and one sussex.
I am worried the black one might be a rooster. She is very brave and curious, food motivated and top of the pecking order.
Her tail seems longer than...
I recently started my back yard flock and I have two hens (a mystic onyx and a Plymouth blue rock) that are about 3ish months old and I added two silkies that are around a month younger however the silkies were straight run and I’m starting to see signs that one of them may be a roo. Would this...
I am hoping some of you may be able to help me with a Silkie question. Basically I started with 3 silkies and a pilkie, 13 weeks old and in the knowledge that 1 was looking like a possible roo. They settled in well, the suspected roo started crowing and everything was fine. (No eggs yet).
Then...
Gumball was relaxing in the coop, while Cupcake was in the Chook Feast Store(aka the dining room) while some of the others were just chilling. Laksmi the Houdan was pretty much messing with Copper while he was tidbitting his little hens. Ponyo(aka Copper's GF) was with the other hens, while some...
Good Morning BYC! We rolled the dice and got 4 silkie chicks this year...and now it is looking like only 1 is a pullet. It is still early - they could surprise me. I did a separate post and had some input from the community about them.
So, the question is....how many pullets per roo is...
