Brand new to this! Can anyone more experienced help me determine if these 4.5-week-old chicks are female or not? Unfortunately, I won't be able to keep Roosters where I live. Bonus if you could tell me what breed they are! :)
As you can see, they had almost identical "chipmunk" patterns as...
Hi all!
This baby is a 4 week old whiting true green chick from McMurray hatchery. Just turned 4 weeks today. Is it safe to say it’s a roo? Or should I wait a couple weeks to make sure?
Also, when is a good time to rehome? We have an excellent rooster and are not looking to add another one.
I...
these 3 chicks are approximately 2 months old. The white ones had some of their tail feathers shredded by the chicks they were kept with before I got them. Any help in identifying their gender will be much appreciated!
Rhode Island Red cockerel/rooster, 14 weeks old (born early March 2024).
“Caramello” is a very healthy and friendly young rooster. He is good confined in a run or out on free range. He has been raised a complete diet (Purina starter/grower) supplemented with fresh veggies and pasture.
We let...
Alright so hi I'm new and I know this is a constantly asked question. I am 98% sure the California is a Roo but the Barred has me stumped. I have 3 Barred. One is FOR sure a Roo and one is for sure a Hen. But this one has some characteristics of both. So what do you guys think?
The first couple...
We have three chicks (jubilee orpington, salmon faverolle, and barred rock) from a local hatchery, and we feel pretty confident that they are all pullets as they all conform to what pullets of those breeds should look like. We also have a random fourth chick that was hatched in one of my kid's...
Alright. I suspect I know the answer. And while I know this "suspected roo" is just attacking those not "in his flock", I'm not sure if he'll outgrow it. ??
We have 3 - 6week old boys, hatched ourselves(easter eggers. Blue Wheaten Ameraucana is sire from local breeder), and obviously they play...
Hey Everyone! I've been researching sexing Black Australorps and I'm at all loss here, so I'm hoping someone might have experience with this breed and help me out :)
We added to our flock this year and I was so excited to find Black Australorps at our local feed store. They were supposed to be...
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?
Hi! I have at least 4, possibly six young silkie cockerels to rehome. They’ve been hand raised and we spend a LOT of time holding them and cuddling with them. I really need to find them homes quickly, they’re starting to get very annoyed with each other!
One of them has a curved beak, but he is...
Hey there,
We just picked up a 7 week old silkie. I am aware of the breeds propensity for hiding their gender until the last possible moment. However, I am worried our little one is showing roo tendencies (loud, standing tall, seems to have streaking top feathers) and we cannot have Roos here...
I have two Ameraucanas in my flock (I THINK). The topic still confuses me, because I've learned that just because a chicken has parents that are both Ameraucanas, if they don't meet a certain color requirement, they might not TECHNICALLY be Ameraucanas, but instead be simply classified as an...
