sexing

I have 4 button quail that are around 5-6 weeks old. When can you start telling the sex so i can separate them appropriately? I definitely don’t want the males to hurt or kill each other. Can they be sexed by color ? I know i have one white and one silver, but i’m not sure what the other two are...

Hi, My chicks are about 16 weeks old and we’re having trouble figuring out what sex these are. We have no experience with polish and silkie birds so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

We have two peafowl I know one is a boy but I can’t tell what this one is. I see it has some barring on its back but I think it’s disappearing? What do you think?

Trying to figure out what gender this chicken is it’s a rir. Any help is appreciated!

I’d love to start a thread with pics of what everyone’s ACTUALLY getting in their grow outs purchased from different hatcheries. Let’s start with anyone who has purchased silkies from mypetchicken.com

For the last few days I’ve noticed my now three week old chicks have been shaping up to each other and fighting like roosters, jumping up and lashing out with their feet. Just wondering if female chicks normally do this too or if I’ve probably got all roosters? 🐓 Thanks 😊

I purchased 6 straight run indian runner ducklings off of craigslist this spring, they were hatched on mother's day from a mallard runner drake, a fawn hen and a blue hen. It looks like we had 3 males and 3 females judging by the tail curl. Lots of different colors! I found it hard to voice sex...

Hi! We have twelve chicks. We know one is definitely a rooster, but trying to understand if there are any others. Can someone help me figure out HOW to tell a rooster among the different styles of combs? Here is a picture of my Splash Laced Red Wyandotte. 5 weeks old. Rose comb? How can you...

Hello all! I have a trio of Lavender Ameracuanas, born 5/13. I’m usually solid on sexing at this age, but I’m having difficultly with these Ameracaunas. I’m confident on Lavender pullet #3, but I need some help now with Lavender #1 and #2. Lavender #1 absolutely acts male, #2 does not...

I’m struggling with this one! 3 month old Khaki Campbell. I have two hens for sure. But this third still hasn’t changed wing colors. It’s bill is more green than the others. But it’s quack is not super distinguishable either way. It doesn’t sound at all like my drakes but it’s not loud or...

Hey y’all, I got my first buff Orpington ducks about 2 weeks ago they are 15 weeks old now. I was wanting to purchase 4 girls and 1 boy and when I got them I was pretty sure I got what I wanted, in the photo you can see the drake in the pool he clearly has a different bill colour then everyone...

My ducklings are 15 weeks old and none of them have layed eegs yet. They are all supposed to be female from being sexed. Recently Kira, our black Swedish, has been what appears to be mating with our buff duckling and only her. Does anyone know if Kira was sexed incorrectly or if it is females...

New chick owner here, we have 4 mixed chicks that are almost 5 weeks old and are starting to worry about having a rooster due to neighbours etc. Long story short, we got given an egg at a carnival and ended up incubating it and out hatched Jazzi!! We THINK she is a salmon Faverolle? And if so...

Hi everyone! I cant velieve im still unabke to tell if i have any drakes! Does anyone see any sure signs of any? Im okay with keeping one but worry if we have too many, theyll fight. Either im really bad at sexing based on feathers, theyre all hens or this breed is elusive!

Darcy and Wanda: Starlight green eggers, around 7-8 weeks. Darcy might be questionable? Phoebe: Unsure on breed, around 4-5 weeks - possibly Easter egger? The lady said she had ameraucanas and Wyandottes and some mixes, so I’m guessing Phoebe is a mix… I’ve read about the triple comb meaning...
