Can someone help me to see the gender of my rescue chicken?

Hi, thank you for the reply.
They are both around 6 months old. I’ve been feeding them with vegetables, chopped sweet corns and chopped oysters shell. I’ve been told that they look really small for their age.

Probably because you aren't feeding them right! you need to get them chicken feed at a feed store. Tractor Supply is a good one and usually you can find them not too far out of cities. You should get them a starter/grower feed.

They need seeds in their diet. Sunflower seeds will help make their feathers shinier but in order to give them proper nutrition I would get a small bag of wild bird seed and mix it with some chicken crumble or pellet food. You could feed them grower crumble or pellets, layer crumble or pellets, or all flock crumble or pellets.

This is no appropriate chicken feed as they lack protein to say the least.

How do you have so much info about about what you say you feed them if they are with your parents? Maybe it would be good to connect them to BYC

Do they have access to grit? Grit is small rocks they eat that help grind up thier food.

If they are not laying why do you feed them oyster shell?
