I understand, it is hard when you want to do the right thing but you don't know what the right thing is. Ask here or PM me anytime. I don't know it all, but I know enough to get by!

thank you. sometimes i feel like i ask to many questions and then I feel like I don't ask enough.
this weekend I was supposed to put up some plastic netting to help keep the chicks in the coop but the rain has put a stop to that.
i am waiting a few more weeks to ask about my new chicks they are 2 and a half months old and we can't seem to get a solid answer on weather they are hens or roosters. which of course makes me nervous because i have grown so close to them and I don't want to have to give one away. I only have 4 hens outside, and the 3 chicks that are in question lol.
they finally got to the point where they come to me and sit with me and I would hate to have to get rid of any of them. I can only hope that at least 1 is a hen.

Those combs are a bit red for being 2 1/2 months old.. I fear they may be cockerels, but you never know.



^ at 9 weeks old.. hard to tell the difference.








Those are 17-18 weeks old. Notice the black bird's comb is still pale. She's a pullet. The cockerel is much, much redder. Yours are inbetween that now, but they're younger.

Jenn, how old were those chicks when you bought them? If it was recently, I bet the seller knew they are cockerels. If they were little, it was just bad luck. I agree that you can wait a while and see, but my money is on all boys. Sorry.

they were 2 months when I got them. i got them from a feed and seed and was told they were hens. I have one little one who is maybe a month old and am hoping maybe I have at least one hen. This is the baby she is a few days older then when the picture was taken but the comb isn't any bigger and her tail feathers point down not up like the boys. The baby still has allot of down and is allot younger.

So I will call Stella George and Dora Frank for now

The combs are dark. Maybe if u could get a pic of the tail from behind we could see better. What breed of chicks are those?
