    Sexing follow up (9-10 wk)

    Hey all! A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of my chickens. I was trying to figure out their breeds and sex. Their age is roughly in the 9 to 10 week range. I think we have the breeds established, but I am not sure about male/female. Here are some pictures, what breed I think they are, and I...

    Help sexing 4 week old class chick

    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...

    Worried this Barred Rock is a Cockerel

    I'm worried this one is a Cockerel. The only reason that's a problem is I live in the city. I live at the edge by a a very large park, but I can't have roosters. It looks like they may have sickle feathers. They are about 4 and 1/2 weeks old. Anyone have any thoughts?

    Can someone provide opinions?

    We recently stepped into the chicken raising world and living in a small suburb, we went with bantams. We are only allowed to have hens and until recently i felt like all of them were hens. Now i’m concerned that none are. Any opinions are appreciated. If you can help identify species that would...

    Who’s your mama and who are you?

    These three (besides the Sapphire Gem in the background) are seven weeks old. Dad is a RIR. Moms could be a Barred Rock, Wyandotte, 2 Easter Eggers, or an older Faverolles. All the parents besides the Fav are pictured. More importantly, what are y’all thinking for genders? I’m thinking… Black...

    Sex of two Pekin ducks

    So this will be my first post, and I guess the best way to start is to show the two Pekin my wife and I bought from tractor supply 4 1/2 weeks ago. This should leave their age at almost 7 weeks, I think. We bought them in preparation for the house with a few acres and a large pond with a small...
