Hello! I have 11 bym mix chicks between 5-6 weeks old. These chicks I'm curious on, can't quite figure out gender yet (I know it might be too early to get a conclusive answer, but I'm curious!). Parents are from a breeder and a a possible mix of french marans (black, blue, lavender, and...
I was so sure that this bird was a barred rock pullet until it grew some wing feathers. COMPLETELY BLACK! No stripes, nothing. I narrowed down all the possible breeds from what the breeder had to two. Barred Rock, and Black Australorp, but at a few days old it had the white bum, bib, wing tips...
So, I have this Aracauna (Australian) x Silkie chick around seven weeks old. Can you tell whether it’s a boy or girl yet? Sorry about the photo it’s the best one I have!
Four week old silkie chick with a vaulted skull. What do you think it is? I know it may be extremely early but I know some experts may be able to tell gender at this young of an age.
I've got three healthy and ridiculously skittish (and at times aggressive) 10 week old Mottled Java chicks, 2 have flogged me (Ursula and Lavar). One has exhibited flogging behavior since it was 1 week old. They have a lavish lifestyle with zero stress, eat Scratch and Peck organic grower and...

These 2 light Sussex bantams are now 6 weeks old. Do you think they are Male?? I have a feeling they might be but hoping they are not 🙁 and suggestions welcome.
Hello all!
I'm very new to chickens, but i absolutely adore them so far.
For a bit of background on this question two of my four original chicks got eaten by dogs so i got 2 more.
The chick shown is grom tractor supply. The bucket said "straight run bantam mix"
I'm trying to figure out if...
Greetings fellas, first time duck owner here. I have an 8 1/2 week old Welsh harlequin. I got them when they were 2 days old, and was told they were a male, but I’m sort of conflicted because I read that you can determine the sex by bill colour when they’re young, and they had a female bill. I...
I have some 2.5 month old olive eggers here, but one of them is throwing me through a loop. She’s much more pullet-like than her brothers which are clearly roosters, but she has a brighter comb and waddles than my other pullets of the same age but perhaps that’s just her. Can anyone tell me if...
So these chicks have stumped people in my FB chicken group so I am calling in the experts. I have no idea what breed they are as they came from "mystery" eggs. The 2 black ones came from chocolate colored eggs so I am thinking marran maybe? The 3 light ones are the ones giving us more trouble...
Oh boy I got quite a few silkies a while ago! Sadly, now I'm down to 7 but that's besides the point... I need help sexing them :) I hope some of you could help me because for the life of me I can't tell ANY differences except some have blue cheeks and one has a weird pea comb-looking comb...
