Hi! This is my first post here, and also my first time raising chicks! One hen that we got has developed a much, much larger comb and wattles than the other four hens we have. I just want to ensure that this chicken is actually a hen, because I am not able to have a rooster within the city...
Hello!! This is my 4+ week old Golden Laced Wyandotte. I’m starting to think Jasmine will need to be renamed to Jerry! She has a much larger comb than the other chicks and grew much slower. What do you guys think?
I have a 8 week old bird who has been slow to develop. Smallest of the flock and stayed fuzzy forever. Finally is growing out its feathers and still is not developing any tail feathers!!
Orange comb but red waddles
Had grey belly and neck when small but that's disappearing quickly.
Dark legs...
I'm a chicken newbie and bought 5 straight run chicks off a local farmer. They are 8 weeks old.
Are they ready to go outside if I have a well protected coop and run?
Any idea on breeds and gender?
I'm assuming I have at least 1 Roo.. how many hens should I have per roo to keep everyone happy...
We have three new silkies we have been told are around 4 months old and are all hens. I have a sneaking suspicion that two of them are male. Can anyone help out??
So I ordered 10 easter eggers, got 11. They tote a 90% accuracy rate, so not a fail on their part if Peaches is a 'he'. The first photos are of Peaches. The next photos are of Dolly, whom I'm nervous to say is maybe a roo as well... Let me know what you think! I may have to start looking for a...
Long time lurker, first time poster here ☺️
I have a 12 week Barnevelder and I need some reassurance that he’s a dude. I can’t keep cockerels, but don’t want to give away a potential hen!
He looked like a pullet until 8 weeks, but feathers look male now. No crowing yet. Am I right?
Hey! I have a couple of blue wheaten ameraucanas that are almost 5 months old. I'm fairly certain the dark one is a roo, but do you guys think the lighter one is a pullet?
Hi everyone! I’m a long time reader on this site, but new to post! We purchased 4 chicks at the first of May. It was a man in my neighborhood who had gotten too many and needed to let go of a few. He insisted they were all female but he also said they were 6 months... which they absolutely were...
hello new to backyard Chicken farming

Hello :)
I have these two (pullets?) I'm rehoming next week,
I think they are pullets ?
They hatched March 6th, so 2months old. Hen is brown serama, roo either black/white frizzle serama or oegb.
Thanks so much :))
Hi, all!
I’m a first timer and would love some help sexing these chicks. I live within city limits, so no roosters are allowed. I got them from Tractor Supply and they are supposed to all be female but of course that’s not guaranteed. They are supposed to be about 4 weeks old. The first two are...
Hi
I’m new here and hatched 5 out of 6 shipped supposedly cream crested leghorns but I have 2 that look like this so I’m confused ♀️ this is my first hatch also. Can any one help also when can they be sexed please.
Thank you ☺️
My 20 week old Hy Line brown just started crowing in the morning. Which is a problem as I live in an apartment in downtown Tokyo(with a small yard). I've read of gender confused hens, but then again it might just be a cockrel.
Zer has been always a tad masculine (would fight crows and keep the...
Just exchanged two roos I got from a farmer and he gave me two ameruacana "hens". I am sure that the light colored one is a hen but unsure about the other. What do y'all think?
The first pic is a 4 week old cuckoo marans and the second pic is a 4 week old black australorp.
I'm nearly 100% sure the blk australorp is a cockerel, looks and acts like one. I'm mostly interested on what you all think about my marans.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I've seen these two chicks for sale, supposedly 13 weeks old, so nearly pullets. Owner says she doesn't know sex or breed. Can anyone help me identify them?
Cheers!
Fairly new to raising my own chickens, I just got this youngin along with two others from a breeder who claims to know his stuff. It’s Suppose to be a hen, but to me, looks more like a young rooster. What do y’all think? Please and Thankyou!
