    What gender is my mixed bantam?

    May I ask what gender my 6-week-old bantam is? He/she is mixed, OEGB and a bit of japanese (im guessing since her parents are mixed too). I'm having a hard time guessing, since I can't tell whether its back feathers are rounded or not. Thanks in advance! ♥️

    Is this a black sex link roo?!

    Hi! We bought 5 sex link chicks from a local feed store. 2 are gold sexlink, 1 is a red sex link, and 2 are black sex links. We were told they were all female, but one of the black sexlinks had a white spot on their head. I didn’t realize a white spot on a black sex link meant male, and it...

    Type/confirmation of these Silkie Roos

    Hello fellow Silkie enthusiasts! I have a couple roosters I'd like some Silkie breeders/experts to critique for me. I have a lot of trouble finding good pics and explanations of how a Silkie should look. I know the spotted white boy is not an accepted color but I'm wanting to know thoughts on...

    Could we have a roo?

    This is only the second time raising chicks and we picked up twenty from the local farm store. We’re hoping we might get one rooster from the batch since we will want to free range them once they are old enough. One of the barred rocks was clearly from a prior hatching than the rest and was the...

    Hen or rooster

    We bought 6 easter egger chicks in June we ended up with 2 cockerels which we rehomed and we're left with what we thought was 4 pullets, but now we are questioning if one of them is a cockerel that just developed late. We did have a dominant rooster in our flock that we had to dispatch 3 days...

    Available for Rehoming - 6x Male F1 Crosses in Beaufort, SC

    I am aware that cockerels are a dime a dozen, but I wanted to make these boys available to anyone willing to rehome them. They were hatched out by a broody hen in our backyard, but the eggs came from a mixed flock of all pure breed hens and two roosters. There were two roosters in that flock...

    My "girls" are worrying me - Balvaders & Rhode Island Red

    So confused as to whether these "girls" really are girls . Balvaders are 12wks - the smaller one has flashes of green in their neck but the other one is huge with tree trunk legs. The Rhode island red is 10wks and has some beautiful green feathers under the brown 😞 We've had chickens before...

    Roo Coughing and Eye discharge.

    Our roo has shown some eye discharge and crustiness around his eye. He has also developed a nasty cough. Any ideas as to what this could be? I attached pictures of his eye. I should also add that I am not able to examine the bird myself, since I am off at college. Thanks in advance!

    Cochin Rooster Limping - 2 weeks not getting better

    I have a rooster about 18 weeks old started limping. He’s just not doing any better. I don’t see signs of Bumblefoot or any wound or anything broken. He’s a Cochin, so it’s really hard to see anything. He still looks beautiful, has a healthy look and appetite for food and mating, but his leg...

    Olive Egger? ROO or HEN???

    Hello! I got a few chicks from a local farm around Easter. This one was supposed to be an Olive Egger Pullet. What do you think??? I know Olive Eggers can look all sorts of different and are not a true breed, but does this one look like a Roo to you? Stands taller. Bigger legs. Longer tail...

    Barred Rock Gender

    These two I call the twins. Got them together and haven’t quite determined their personalities yet. BUT, what’s with the difference tail feathers? One is kinda looking like roo’s tail feather (curved) while other seems like all the other pulleys? She doesn’t have a larger comb or the saddle...

    Rooster spurs bleeding

    Today I tried de-spuring my rooster for the first time because I noticed that my hen was having a lot of broken feathers and would run from him so I gathered he may be hurting her. I did it by using the method where you get some pliers and then twist them off, they came off pretty easy but I...
