    Araucana sexing x 3

    Hi brains trust! I have 3 Araucana here. Just over 4 months old / 18 weeks. I keep getting told light grey is a pullet and dark grey is a cockerel but I think they're the opposite? Have added in a photo of the 3rd white one too as everyone says that's a girl which I believe so too. Of course...

    Light Brahma drama

    I need some help sexing this chicken. We’ve named her? Mulan-Prianka (since it’s a Chinese-Indian bird). “She” is 18 weeks, almost 19 weeks, old and a bit grumpy with other chickens.

    Misconceptions About Curved Tail Feathers in Easter Egger Juveniles

    I've been noticing a lot of posts lately in which people are asking about the gender of their 3 month old Easter Eggers. There is a misconception that curved tail feathers at that age indicate a cockerel. This is simply not true! At the age of 11 to 14 weeks, the birds are not sexually mature...
