    11-week-old Buff Orp, hackle feathers - pointed or round?

    Hello, I’ve noticed the feathers on one of my 11-week-old-ish Buff Orpingtons are a bit silkier and more elongated than my other bird (same breed, same age). Do the hackle feathers look pointed to you? Or is it too soon to tell? I don’t see much of a pronounced comb or wattle, but the tail...

    Can anyone tell the sex of any of my flock or is it too early? They’re coming up on six weeks.

    Ive got a black silkie, salmon faverolle, buff and lavender orpingtons, a sapphire gem and sapphire egger, a gold laced wyandotte, silver laced polish, a cinnamon queen, and an americauna.

    Sexing help

    Hi all! I'm a new duck mum after rescuing a mallard duckling from a water drain (vets wouldn't take it in because of the bird flu). We have been doing our research into caring for ducks and have bought a friend so it's not lonely. Our Indian runner is 7 weeks old but we are unsure of the age of...

    Suspected rooster: Is this an attempted crow?

    My chick is 7 weeks old. Started making this strangled squawk yesterday. I thought chickens didn’t crow until 4-5 months? Is this my absolute confirmation this is a rooster? (I’ve suspected this one since they were 2 weeks old, but these are my first chicks, so didn’t want to jump to...

    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!

    Developing comb? Is this chick a rooster?

    This little chick is developing some sort of comb on their head. They are five weeks old. People talk about the comb being pinkish and turning red. Is that what that looks like? Is this likely a roo, or could it still grow up to be a hen?

    Phoenix and Silkie

    Hello Again! I was able to confirm that the Red Pyle OEGB is for sure a Rooster. Now, I think the Phoenix could be one as well as the Silkie. The Silkie is just very feisty, and seems to want to try and pick a fight with everyone, especially the OEGB. The Phoenix just has a very large comb, and...

    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...

    White Chinese gosling question

    I am fairly smart avian wise. But since I have never had this breed prior and not really caring if it’s a gander or goose I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts on little Doc here. 7 weeks now and the knob is not very big but I have no knowledge on growth of gosling in this breed. I know the...
