I believe I brought this one home around the end of March, it was the only BO in the 7 chicks I purchased - the other 6 were black australorps, 5 of those were roosters lol - so I don’t really have any BO this age to compare it to
I do have some BO pullets that I brought home at the end of April...
Just got some turkeys from my neighbour's. She said 3 hens and a Tom but the Tom is really odd so I am hoping maybe someone knows what's up. He is about 3 years old, ridley heritage x. He walks very upright never puffed up, drums, gobbles or shows any interest in ladies. He is smaller than any...
These 8 babies are 6 weeks old and I need help sexing them. I’m pretty sure we only have two roos ( and ). Thanks!

When she was little, she had a little white dot which meant female, but I’m still going to check. She is very sweet and curious.

I have what I believe to be a Welsummer Bantam, a black sex-link, and what is looking like a silver laced wyandotte around 8 to 10 weeks. I'm fairly certain the welsummer is a pullet, but I've never had a bantam before so I'm not positive. I had a hard time finding photos of young welsummer...
Got 5 straight run RIR chicks! They are about 5 almost 6 weeks old. Wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out which ones are male vs female. They have colored bands on their legs and one has no band. So far I believe purple is a rooster and green is a hen. Does anyone have any advice as...
Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock.
I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check.
The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one...
Theyre supposed to be sexed. She acts skittish around me and her feathers look pretty round, but she’s also pretty big compared to her sisters. Her name is Jean Jacket. Theyre 5 weeks.
I have been reading that young SF chick pullets can be varied in color and have no tail feathers. So I am hoping this 6-week chick is a pullet, but I’m wanting feedback. She does have some dark areas, but I don’t know if I would say they are “black”. No black on her chest. Her wings are layered...
Quick backstory. We got 2 new chicks last week and unfortunately we lost one, when my family went back to buy another (while I was in class) the farmer apparently "threw in an extra one for free". Already knew it'd likely be a rooster when I heard that, but I also have no idea what the breed is...
Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...
Hello! So I’m getting pretty nervous! I went to my local feed store and bought 2 female black swedish ducklings about 3 weeks ago, and today I accidentally put them in a bath that was alittle to warm, and they started quacking in their adults voices! But one was a quack and one was very raspy…...
Can I get guesses as to the sexes of my 3 week old babies? I have included two photos of each so a total of 4 chicks. I think the second one (dark color photos 3/4) is a Roo. I am also leaning towards a Roo for the last one (photos 7/8). The lighter colored ones photos 1/2, 5/6 and 7/8 are...
Hi there 👋🏼
I recently got two Silver Laced Wyandottes, both were supposedly sexed as hens when I purchased them, however I’m recently noticing a lot of distinct differences between the two 🧐 they are roughly 7-8 weeks old now.
Hoping to get some insight into which may be a hen and which may...
Got these Easter Egger baby’s and me and the breeder tried to make sure we did our research on sexing the chicks by wings/feathers. Well we both second guessed ourselves in the process and did the best we could. I came home with 10 chicks. Hoping to have all hens. In this picture I have two...
I hatched out chicks for the first time on February 4 and others on February 9. I hatched out 2 barnevelder(hen)xlavender orpington(rooster),
2 black non bearded silkie(hen)xlavender orpington(rooster),
2 light brahma(hen)xlavender orpington(rooster),
1 lavender orpington
and 1 blue...
Hi, i have two ameraucana chicks, im thinking cockeral but im wondering if anybody else had similar looking ones that turned out female.
Black one charges at my gfs hand and look how pink he is 😭😭
I bought 7 Easter egger chicks from TS and they were advertised as females im wondering how many of you have gotten chicks from TS and ended up with chicks that were mis-sexed? Or even mis breaded? I have 2 that got there combs coming in at the end of week 1 which seems freakishly early lol and...
I was told this was a sapphire gem pullet by the lady I got the hatching eggs from but I have my doubts. Attitude, size, and comb all have me questioning even the breed(comb made me think it could be mixed with an Easter egger).
I've never raised Sapphire gems before so I was hoping to get...
IDK where to post this, and this is the closest topic I can find, so here we go!
I just hatched some chicks, I want to attempt to try and sex them and see what % of them I guessed correctly. I’ve done feather sexing, sexlink sexing (for fun) vibe sexing, and Apperance sexing. Any more...
