Has anyone ever seen a lump like this?
I noticed that one hip was more prominent when this bird was little but I didn’t think it was anything serious but now I’m worried by how big it seems to be getting. It’s definitely the source of their wry tail and it does seem to affect how they walk...
Hi there!
First time chicken mom here. We purchased four mixed “pullets” from TSC about a month or so ago. One of them, the brown Leghorn, turned out to most definitely be a cockerel has already started crowing, so now I’m starting to question the sex of my others. I’m pretty certain our...
I had 2 pullets now down to this one. The other of same age (it’s roughly 10.5-11 weeks) had more feathering around the face and neck. Wondering if this is a he or a she. It acts like a corralling dominance asserting roo 😅 some photos from today (ones with more feathers) some from a couple days ago
Hey! I have 3 Polish chicks that I am questioning.
Hennifer is the buff/yellow one (first 2 images). She has a very round bouffant so I thought she was a girl, but she's growing some red bits on her face that are making me question everything.
My last two are silver laced polish, I thought they...
These were sold to me as sapphire olive eggers, born April 12th 2021...they’re small and look more like OEGBs... can anyone confirm or tell me what they are?
I have Mary (the black and white) and Winifred (brown and grey). I’m suspecting Mary a bit more, three comb, and she/he’s been a bit more aggressive toward our main hen. But the more I look at Winni I feel like her tail feathers look a bit more roostery. I haven’t had Chickens in a long time...
Welp, here’s what I know. I was sold these two “girls” from a local farm. I don’t know how old they are but both of them have smallish combs, starting to turn a little red in the face, legs are both approximately the same size. I’m a little hung up on one in particular as I see a little...
So I bought some cream legbar chicks from a lady up north. Well the other two look very true to female cream leg bars. But this “girl”....hmmm the Other two still seem to have pale faces with no redness to the waddle, lobes or face. And the coloring seems more like a roo to me as well? What do...
Need help. What breed is this and is it a Rooster? I just recently heard it starting to crow very early in the a.m. but I'm still not 100% sure since this is my 1st time raising them. As you can see in the video I have 5 others and they aren't developing as much as this one of course so that's...
Hey, so I am new to the mottled java breed and unsure if this is a roo or hen. I was told when "she" was a chick that she was a hen but I know that there is always that 50% chance they are wrong. The mottled java was raised with an Egyptian Fayoumi rooster who is defiantly a roo. They are the...
i have a four week old bantam Cochin that I’m thinking is a rooster. The breeder has a rooster guarantee but I wanted to run it by you guys and see what you think before we take our sweet brownie for an exchange.
i need help sexing my silkie. i got him/her as a day-old chick. i'm guessing it was about 2 -3 months ago??? almost full grown in size, may still be growing in hackle feathers & tail feathers...? all my others were sexed as girls, and are other breeds. it is late enough on that i can tell the...
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...
