I was so convinced my sweet chick daisy was a girl she is a lap chick already and I had thoughts others may be Roos but not her and now she is looking the most like she may actually be a male after all? Red comb forming also has red wattles coming in, “she” is 3 weeks old! Thoughts??? She is an...
I’m a devastated new chicken mama! Less than 2 weeks ago, I paid $130 for 7 young chickens, with the assumption/understanding that the more grown out they were, the more likely you could tell they were pullets. The 1st & only flock I’ve ever cared for was an established group of laying hens that...
We got several baby chicks from Tractor Supply in a mixed bin. They were mixed with sex and with breed. This is the only Barred Rock or at least I think she is a Barred Rock. I’m a new chicken mom. Will you please help me determine is she is a pullet or a cockerel? She will be 4 weeks in a few...
This is our beloved pet, a 10 week old EE that my daughter hatched. I’m torn and so want her to be a pullet, but we aren’t experienced so I’m a bit nervous about my judgement. It does have mostly even dovewing pattern with a dark buff colored chest. No comb development, but the legs are on the...
I finally managed to get better pics of my mystery turken today. Comparing this one to the one we know is a cockerel, I’m leaning more towards pullet now. While both have crowns that are much bigger than our other turkens, this one is slightly smaller and less red. Still, we are new at this and...
We are still figuring out the genders of the turkens we bought back in September. With help from folks here yesterday we pretty much confirmed one white and black chick is indeed a cockerel, and three of the others are girls. We do have one other mystery chick that we are on the fence about. The...
picked up 6 turken hatchlings back in September - not sure of the sex of them but one looks ...not like the others. Almost 3 months old now. No crowing yet,but ...I’ve uploaded a few closeups of her/him-and of the other turkens we got at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi there, would love some more guesses on the sexes of my three chicks.
First orange chick is 2 weeks old
Gray/yellow chick is 3 days
Black chick is 5 days
We purchased 26 chicken from a local farm. The farm is known and does a good bit of business. We walked out knowing at least 2 were roosters. We’re now at the 5 1/2 month mark it looks like we have over 25% of our chickens are roosters. What’s an acceptable percentage of wrongly sexed chicks?
Hi! I have an about 11week old Golden Laced Polish chick, sold as a pullet. I thought hen for a while and this week I am pretty sure she is a he. Please let me know what you think. I live in the city and cannot have anyone crowing. Thank you!!
Okay, a little back story here. Last year I ordered sexed chicks from a hatchery. The hatchery I ordered from include a “mystery chick” with each order and I ended up with a white crested black polish roo. Being the only chick with crest feathers he’s been severely bullied and spend most of his...
Hi
I' m desperate to know if my lovely frizzle is a girl or boy as I won' be able to keep a roo in my back garden and as time goes on the more fonder we are becoming of her , nugget is 5 almost 6 weeks now
this is a six week old sultan that is starting to have some comb development. I am assuming that it is going to be a roo, could I be wrong? Do the pullets develope combs as well?
Thanks!
Hello everyone!
This is my first time owning poultry, although I watch my friends chickens while they are away. So, I decided to go with smaller birds for myself, and acquired some quail. Super cute birds, they are currently living in my basement, in a very large dog kennel. I am planning on...

They will be 8 weeks old tomorrow/next day and current photos taken in last...
