    Breed ID for new chicks? Sexing too early?

    Bought a coop for our two 5-week-old chicks off a local farmer and they offered us to take some of their day-olds also. As tempting as it was to take a bunch, we decided to add just two to our flock since we are worried one of our older chicks could end up male (😞) leaving our other one alone...

    Sexing Welsh Harlequins

    Hey, all I have 10 seven-week-old Welsh Harlequins that I thought I'd know the gender of by now. There's definite quacking, but they stay bunched up, so it's often hard to tell who's making the noise. One of them has had a yellow bill for many weeks, so I assumed it was a drake. But most of his...

    3 week old Easter egger Roo?

    We got a few Easter egger pullets from TS about 3 weeks ago, and normally I would say that’s way too early to sex a chick but what do you guys think? This one’s comb and waddles are very bright, and it’s comb is pretty wide though very flat.

    Is my 4 week old wellsummer a roo?

    So we got chicks a few weeks ago that are all supposed to be pullets. We did get a couple wellsummers and both had the sharp V and eyeliner that girls generally have. However it has developed a decently sized comb. So I just wanted to see thought on if it's a roo or a hen?
