    Polish Chicks Sexing

    Hello there, I have these two Polish Chicks that I got from a breeder on May 24. They are both different ages. I was supposed to get 10 days old chicks but by the time I arrived there they were all sold, so after some persuasion he gave me some of the chicks he spared for himself. I asked how...

    Breed and sex

    Hey. Very new to chickens. There is a long story behind how I got these but it was last minute, I was told they were silkies but it was from a quaint family farm and likely mixed with something else as they don’t look like pure silkies but have some of the traits. They were born around August...

    Might be too soon

    Hey there. I have a a little chick and I’m not sure the gender. He/she hatched on the 15th of July and is a speckled Sussex frizzle mix. (I’m so stoked about how this will look) I just wanted to know if anyone could tell. But I feel like maybe too soon?

    Having problems sexing

    So I’m having problems sexing my silkies, I have no idea how old they are as I rescued them both, I know 1 of them is for sure a cockerel as it started crowing a few days ago but I’m seeing traits of crows in both, none are laying yet and I didn’t see who was crowing as they stopped when I...

    ***Orphaned chicken - Badly need to know the breed, sex, and age. PLEASE HELP us so we can help her/him***

    Hey there! This gal/guy showed up on our front porch one morning and has been our stray defacto chicken 3+ mos ago. We barely see it, hides in our bushes in the day and flies high up high up in our tree at dusk to sleep. Any ideas on the breed, age, and sex of this rascal? These were the...

    HELP with Gender😊 8 weeks Easter Egger, Jersey Giant, Brahma? Thanks!!

    New chicken owner and I think out of my 5 chicks I may have 2 roos. I am obsessing over here🤣. One of my Black Jersey Giants I am 99% sure as it was slower to feather and developed the pink comb earlier and looks different from other. Out of my 2 Easter Eggers I think the grey one may also be a...

    Hen or Rooster?

    Got 5 straight run RIR chicks! They are about 5 almost 6 weeks old. Wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out which ones are male vs female. They have colored bands on their legs and one has no band. So far I believe purple is a rooster and green is a hen. Thanks!

    What sex are they??!

    Hi, we have silkie chickens, one is a cross breed chicken I think. They’re both about 1.5 months old so 6 weeks. It’s hard to tell as they both have characteristics and features of both genders. Quite desperate to know and would be appreciated thanks!

    Someone dumped 42 chicks so I rescued them.

    I'm going to attempt to keep this as short as possible to start. We have 9 hens currently. I was taking my daughter to work and at the bottom of our hill was 42 chicks spread all over the road. My guess is they were right around 4 weeks old. Someone obviously dumped them and it was only minutes...

    Pullet or cockerel?

    Around 6-7 weeks old buff orpington. I know the picture isn't showing the underside of her chin but there's no wattle there yet. She's developing a little faster than the rest of the chicks so I'm worried I have myself a boy instead of a girl. She's my dad's favorite but roosters are illegal...

    Ameraucana or EE? M or F?

    These two hatched 11/17/2021 so almost 4 months old. They look like pullets, but they have pointy feathers??! When purchased I was told they were amauracana’s, but they look a lot like EE’s. I was hoping for blue eggs, am I certain for blue, or do I gotta wait it out because they’re Easter...

    Please help Identify and Sex these sweet birds

    Hi, I picked up 6 lovely bantam chicks as a mother's day gift from my husband but we have no idea what breed they are, how old they are, or what sex they are (although I think they are all pullets). I have attached a few pictures. They are all the same breed I think. Two of them have legs...

    These 2 handsome (?) guys.

    My belief the last couple of weeks is that these two are cockerels, one seems to look like a bantam frizzle (please feel free to correct everything that I'm wrong about... I'm a complete novice and want to know my stuff!) except the researched temperament on that breed is the exact opposite of...

    Roo or hen Leghorn?

    Hello everyone, meet Bedhead. We got this little one in a group of six on March 4th from a farmer near us. She said they were all five days old, but this one has always been a bit bigger then the rest. I’m thinking Bedhead is actually a week older than the rest of the group. Recently it seems...

    Help! New chick owner - cant identify and age this little chick

    Hi! I’m new to the chicken world and am slowly learning everything there is to know. I’m finding it difficult to know what breed, how old and what gender this little one is (it’s about ~11/12 weeks old, is my guess). It’s also almost positively a bantam. A farm had a late bloomer and the chick...

    RIR pullets or cockerels??

    First time chicken owner & first time posting here! I have 7-8 week old RIRs (hopefully pullets) that I got at TSC in August. I am starting to be unable to tell them apart, but I have noticed their combs are getting much bigger & pinker (on some). Can you help me figure out if any are fellas...

    Supposed to be sexed Amerucana!

    I think we got scammed from the feed store! Lol. Anyway, both are supposed to be female pullets almost 3 weeks old. And I don’t know much, granted. But Americana’s in the US are not supposed to have butts ? And I can’t find any with these colors! What are the sex and breed? Help!
