First time chicken lady. Bought 5 chicks from our local ifa. They are roughly 16 weeks old now. I know the white one with the big red comb is absolutely a rooster, he started crowing about a month ago, but the rest I’m unsure about. The grey and black ones were advertised as ameraucanas and the...
We’re new to chickens. We have 9 week old baby chicks and I think the hatchery sent us some males even though we only ordered females. We had 16 and now we have 14, since we lost 2 due to failure to thrive/runt. We ordered Ameracaunas, buff Orpingtons, silver laces Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds...
I bought three 6 week old chicks from a neighbor about 3 months ago and I cannot figure out what this guy(or girl) is. The lady said she bought them from a feed store and two are for sure Cochins, one is a bantam Brahma, and the other she couldn’t remember the breed. The older this one gets the...
Good morning. I purchased two jersey giants from a straight run at TS. I did my best to sex them out and thought I picked pullets. Recently one has been sprouting more flamboyant tail feathers, and I *think* I heard crow attempts this morning for the first time. They are 12 weeks old, and I feel...
First one
Second one
I just recently got chickens for the first time. 4 of them are barred rocks and they are now 7 weeks old. I can’t tell if these two are roosters or hens, any help would be appreciated.

My (hopeful) ladies are 8(ish) weeks old (wasn't given a clear age when purchased). What do you think? Hens or roos? I know silkies are almost impossible to tell but I attached pictures of ours anyways. The rest are easter eggers. Bonus points for insight on the easter egger's...
Hello Again! I was able to confirm that the Red Pyle OEGB is for sure a Rooster. Now, I think the Phoenix could be one as well as the Silkie. The Silkie is just very feisty, and seems to want to try and pick a fight with everyone, especially the OEGB. The Phoenix just has a very large comb, and...
I have these chicks that are 6 weeks old, 7 on Monday, that I think are girls. But I wanted to make sure they are in fact females.
1 is a black copper marans chick
The other 3 are Easter egger crossed with buff orphington or black Australorp roos.
Hi,
I got six baby chicks in early July (2 white leghorns, 2 ameraucanas, & 2 red stars). They are now about 10 weeks old. One of the white leghorns and one of the red stars developed their comb and wattle (see photos) while the other 4 don’t have them yet. Should I be worried that those two...
Lots of people said that we can tale brahma chicken gender by a tail. How can I do that and what is my brahma gender? Thank you🐔🐔 (Those two are around 4 months old)
This bird has always been one of my friendlier birds. It usually runs out to greet me and jumps on my lap if I sit down. It's other hatch mate started crowing about 3 weeks ago and has a peacomb. Both have tuft cheeks.
Bird is 12 weeks old and pretty quiet.
No rust colour on its body but a...
Hey there! Newbie here! I have a question about one of my 3 week old chicks! I bought him/her from an assorted Bantam bin at TSC, and I just love him/her! Definitely a Cochin Bantam, but I am 90% sure it’s a roo, due to how red it’s comb is already! What do you guys think?
Hi! I’m looking for help identifying my assorted bantams.
here’s my thoughts...
Chick #1 - 4 weeks old. Solid White Old English Game Bantam? Roo or Hen?
Chick #2 - 1 week old I believe. Mille Fleur D’Uccle?.... or at least I hope.... bc of the dots on wings and the super feathery feet...? We...
