I have a production red that is giving me a hard time with sexing. I have a barred rock cockerel and they seem pretty similar in development which has got me wondering if I have 2 boys. The first 4 pictures are at a little over 6 weeks, then a picture of the comb at 5 weeks. This is the comb...
I purchased a Faverolle chick at my farm store. I think they get their chicks from Meyer hatchery? They claim to sell sexed pullets. Anyways, I noticed that an adult Faverolle Roo have black breast feathers. What about my chick? Is it possible that its a roo instead of a hen???
I'm new to...
I'm on the fence. This is a Lavender Orphington that hatched on March 3rd.
I've went back in forth, it's comb was always on the medium size. It matched my pullets up until maybe the last week or so. It's comb turned pinker than it has been and it's tail kinda sits up a little higher now. It's...
Hey guys, I got four chickens yesterday at this somewhat sketchy place, but anyway, the man we bought them from told us they were pullets, which is what we wanted. We were expecting them to be much older so we would KNOW that they were girls, but they're way younger than we expected.

At least, I wish it was a party. :celebrate
My brooder is getting full, soon it will be time for the chicks to be separated into the appropriate flocks, which consist of:
Main Flock
Rooster Flock
Delicate/Special/Handicapped Flock
Bantam Flock
In total I have about 40 chicks to sex, but I...
I have some 6 week olds that are just now getting close to being able to sex, i think. (minus the silkies, probably) Let me know if you see anything obvious that points to pullet or cockerel. i'm still trying to learn. Thanks!

Hey y'all I bought a few chicks ((hens)) during chick days. I have one "hen" that has become aggressive and looks much different than the others. I am not sure if "she" is trying to establish order or is the man of the house. ;) Can hens have long green tail feathers like this one? This "hen" is...
Hi everyone,
I have 4 chicks that were vent sexed as pullets and are 4 weeks old. I'm pretty confident that the buff Orpington and silver laced Wyandotte appear to be pullets, but I'm unsure about the 2 Easter eggers....
Behavior wise they are very fearful, flighty and spastic. The last time we...
