    Rooster & Hen Hatching

    I sometimes like to hatch birds, my favorite being button quail. The last batch I hatched was way over distributed with roosters. Out of about 30 eggs that hatched, 20 of them were roosters. I won't go into the horrors these little bastards played with me and the hens, but this was a CF from...

    Rooster or Hen

    Hi all! I got this silkie in the beginning of September from a local mennonite who assured me it was a hen. I was told that it was hatched late spring/early summer. I noticed it tonight that it was mounting another hen. When I looked at it up close I think it may have characteristics of roo...

    Hi all, I have half a dozen of 7 week old easter eggers that we got from a local breeder. aren't allowed to keep roosters where we live, so I am hoping we only have pullets. Now that they are a bit older, I'm hoping their gender will be distinguishable. Other threads have told me to look at...

    12 Week-old Black Australorp

    Hello everyone. I am trying to determine if our 12 week-old Black Australorp, Vivian, is a pullet or rooster. (She'll be 13 weeks old on Wednesday). I am curious what you all think. I had no doubts about her until this week when her comb started getting redder. Thanks! Dawn

    Confirming my kids' worst fears: all roosters? (Sex confirmation request, please!)

    Purchased at a feed store from a breeder as left over easter eggers. The two white were hatched around Feb 14, and the black around Feb 28. (24-26 weeks ish) Each of my kids picked a bird to love, with the knowledge that we couldn't keep any roosters. I believe their worst-case scenario has...

    How do you determine the gender of these 1.5 month old chicks?

    I made a thread about 30 minutes ago, and I got plenty of responses helping me find out the gender of these chicks. However I would like to know what to look for to help me determine their genders. On chicks that are around this age and size, what should I look for?
