    Plymouth Rock Roo x Welsummer Hen

    Hi, I THINK this is a BR Roo x Wel Hen. It’s a pretty chick admittedly but I’m not sure whether having a BR Roo makes it sex linked and I was wondering if anyone has seen this pattern before?

    Best type of crow collar?

    Hi guys! Wanted to know everyone’s reviews on different brands of no crow collars. I’ve seen people say the cheap ones on Amazon work just as well but was wondering if anyone likes the “fancier” ones better and why? My roo is pretty small so I think any collar will work for him, I almost...

    He was sexed as a roo but at 18 weeks I’m not sure

    Help?! I’m brand new to this whole chicken thing. We got this guy at 1 day at a feed store, and were told he was male but as time goes on and I learn more and more, I’m not convinced. He does have a larger comb than the other 6 we bought that day, and his overall size is larger, but at 18 weeks...

    Is this normal pullet appearance

    I got this little one has a baby. She was sold as a orpington but as her feathers came in it was obvious she was not. Pretty sure she’s a barred rock. She has the paint wash legs, had a spot on her head as a baby. But now at 5/6 weeks I’ve notice waddles coming in.. her comb is yellow but the...

    I have 3 silkie chickens that are so different! First pic is Bluey, I’m 99% sure this is a hen. She has no comb, no streamers, and just seems like a hen. Picture #2 is Coconut. I’m 100% sure he is a Roo. HUGE comb and has streamers. And he has been crowing for maybe 3-4 weeks now. Super cute...

    Is my daughters Easter egger a roo?! We bought 2 along with a welsummer and a orpington(which I think is actually a barred rock due to its speckles) from our local feed store, all were said to be sexed females. But one Easter eggers comb is a lot bigger than all the others. Both Easter eggs are...

    Hen or Roo Satin Silkie

    Hello! I bought bird as a pullet - I didn’t get to pick out which one as the seller had these two already set aside. Once I got home I started wondering if this was actually a rooster? Thoughts? Hatched in March! Trying to decide if I send off for DNA testing since i can’t have roosters at my...

    Bay Area (Marin) - beautiful blue Cochin Roo needs a new home

    I just found out via DNA testing that one of my chicks, the blue/grey Cochin baby, is a Roo. He is a beauty, docile, fluffy, and did I say beautiful? He is about 10-12 weeks old. I would love for him to go to a farm and have a happy long life. We are located in Marin, Bay Area.

    19 week EE & BA - pullet or cockerel?

    We have 2 chickens that I was convinced were both pullets but now that they are 19 weeks old, one has started to act a bit roosterish and the other one looks somewhat roosterish.😩 I already have 2 Roos that were meant to be hens (I’m deciding who has to go right now) but now I’m afraid Bellatrix...

    How long before my girls will accept new roo?

    Hi everyone, I’ve searched for the answer high and low but can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. On average, how long does it take for a flock of hens to accept a rooster? I know for chickens meeting chickens it can take 2 or so weeks. But is introducing a male any different? I’m assuming...

    2 Roosters Southern CA - New Hampshire Red and Barred Rock/Silkie Mix

    Hi! I have 2 roosters available from my personal free range flock that I unfortunately need to find new homes for. They are such sweet and gentle boys that the others (even the hens) are picking on them too much. 😢 The first is a gorgeous New Hampshire Red cockerel (6 months) and the second is a...

    Suspected rooster: Is this an attempted crow?

    My chick is 7 weeks old. Started making this strangled squawk yesterday. I thought chickens didn’t crow until 4-5 months? Is this my absolute confirmation this is a rooster? (I’ve suspected this one since they were 2 weeks old, but these are my first chicks, so didn’t want to jump to...

    Suspect Roo #2

    Hey everyone! New chicken mom here starting with our flock of 8. We just found out one of our Rhode Island Reds is a cockerel and I suspect another one is too. We got all 8 at Tractor Supply — 6 were sold as pullets and we took a gamble on what we THOUGHT were two straight run silver laced...

    Can someone explain the process?

    Hey all! So this is my first year owning a rooster, and I know I have a ways off before I’ll start seeing any baby chicks around, however I would love if someone could explain the process? So my silly question is, when a roo mates with a hen, does the hen lay all fertilized eggs at once? Or 1...

    8 Week Old Gold Laced Wyandotte Roo or Hen?

    I have a GL Wyandotte in question. She has always been bigger than her other Gold Laced sisters and developed feathers and wattles/comb quicker than the others. I know that this is usually a sure sign of a roo, but I've also seen a couple on here that turned out to be hens. I noticed this...
