Hi! I’m pretty sure this is a roo because of the comb size and colors compared to my other girls but I wanted to ask for a second opinion. Any thoughts? This is my first batch of turkens. Also long shot but any ideas with the silkie? *the cage is temporary, currently deep cleaning the brooder*
Hi all! I hatched 29 chicks 10 days ago. I got the eggs from a friend who has EE, prairie bluebells, starlights greens, OE, & WTB, with EE and WTB Roos. I realize these breeds mean pretty random coloring. Any way to predict what the mature bird will look like based on 10 day old feathers? Also...
I noticed one of my chicks that are 2 weeks old looks like it is getting a comb . This is my first Time with chicks. When I got them I was told they were all pullets
This is the only one developing one.
Can anyone tell at this age? I wouldn’t mind a rooster I was wanting one.
I have a mixer...
Hi all - new to Easter Eggers (edit: NOT Amereucanas) and wondering if any of these are looking one way or another on their gender yet. Thanks for any input!
Hi everyone! I have 4 SR bantam d'uccles from Ideal that are now ~3 weeks old. I know it's still early (I'll keep posting weekly, as week-by-week threads from others have been SO helpful/interesting), but I'd love to start getting some input on what sexual traits my chickies may be exhibiting...
This beauty is 11 weeks old. She is much larger than the other chickens (different breeds though) and has been since a baby. No crowing, and very gentle. I really hope she's a girl, what do you think?
Not sure why the additional work was not done, they'd gone this far... to just make an auto sexing breed like the cream legals, etc.
Someone posted this about a decade ago, "
California gray is a breed that is based on the Barred Plymouth Rock X Leghorn
It is then crossed back on Leghorn to...
I have 2 silkies and a satin, hatch date was 11/2/21, so they are currently 2 months old. Any help on sex would be greatly appreciated. I know silkies are tougher than most breeds. Thanks!
Reposting because I was having trouble with posting pictures in my original. Trying to determine sex on my...
Ok another guessing game here
I’m hoping like hell this is a female because it’s my favourite one out of the bunch.
it’s a blue Australorp (I’m pretty sure)
its 7 weeks old and has been fully feathered like that since it was about 3-4 weeks old.
Although it’s comb is large it’s feathers...
One of my three blue ameraucanas has a comb coming in that looks a little bit fleshier than the others. Not sure if she might be a he or not - I have heard ameraucanas are tricky to sex at only 11 weeks. In every picture she/he is the one closest to the camera. Any educated guesses? Any advice...
Hi,
I’m needing advice on what to do next!
A bit of background:
My flock currently has 2 point of lay hens (around 18 weeks??) an australorp and an olive egger who haven’t laid yet but will any day.
We got 3 day old chicks who are around 7 weeks now to add to the flock, however it’s looking...
I hatched 3. 2 are definitely roosters. I think all 3 really but wanted to check with y’all. Are those saddle feathers on the one in the back or no? I’m thinking all roosters but hoping for a hen lol
I’m new here and I’ve wanted to own chickens since I was little,both set of grandparents owned them in Indiana. Last week, I bought a few chicks from the local feed store. 2 are supposed to be California grey. One is lighter than the other, leading me to believe it’s a roo. What are your...
Hello! Our meat chicken made some chicks with our egg layers and now I have LOTS of chickens. We’ve waited to sex them so w can be for sure. We’d like to keep the hens and harvest the roosters. PLEASE HELP!
Hi everyone,
I am brand new to backyard chickens and need help.

Can you let me know if you think they are all hens and an approximate age if possible?
