    Buff Orpington Pullets actually Cockerels?

    Hi All, About 8 weeks ago I brought home 6 chicks - all (supposedly) pullets. I have 4 sex-linked (2 ISA Browns + 2 Black Stars) and 2 Buff Orpingtons. As they've grown, it's clear that at least one of the BOs is actually a Cockerel. He's started crowing so yea, I certainly have at least one...

    Hey ya'll, We were under the impression that we purchased 3 Barr Rock baby chicks from TSC. There was an issue with one of their brooders so they had to shuffle chicks around and therefore all the signage didn't make it to the corresponding chicks. By order of elimination we felt that they were...

    Hi. I have a few chicks I got a few weeks ago and they’re really starting to grow. I’m pretty sure my other chicks are girls but I’m not so sure about these two. They were pretty big chicks and had big legs as babies too, so I’m wondering if they might be boys, either one or both. I was...

    Is this a barred rock?

    We adopted two barred rocks, sexed to be pullets. However, while one of the pullets’ feathers are coming in normal, the other one’s feathers are coming in a little different colored, not having the distinctive pattern. I’m guessing that purchasing them from TSO might have something to do with...

    Gender/Age of ducklings?

    These are our two ducklings, who we have named Poppy (Rouen) and Pippa (golden 300) in hopes that they are both girls. we got them unsexed from TSC on August 26, so they are around 5-6 weeks old now? Not sure how old they were when we got them. We socialized with them and held them a lot when...
