Best wishes and thanks for joining BYC!!

 

Welcome to BYC - and the poultry obsession, so glad you've joined the flock!
How old are your "hens" at this point? For the breeds listed it's best to assess gender at 6+ weeks, unless you have a blatant "loud and proud" looking cockerel growing some bright comb/wattles prior to that point. When you do get ready to post them be sure to take nice, clear photos that are taken in natural lighting and show each bird in side profile in a natural, standing position so that we can see the whole bird. Those photos are what work best for gender evaluation.

 

Thank you for joining us at Backyard chickens. When your chicks are 6-8 weeks old you can post individual pictures of them at "what breed or gender is this."

 

You're going to have a lovely mixed flock! Best wishes they all turn out to be female and you get loads of eggs.

Thanks for joining us!

 

G’Day from down under ChickaSquee Welcome!

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
