Hi, new to raising chickens. Looking for help with sexing my chickens. We got 3 chicks from my daughters class (1 Rhode Island Red, 1Black Sexlink and 1 Araucana but I think its an Americauna due to its tail) they are now 2 1/2 months old. I'm very confused because some things I've read tell me I have 3 hens and other things tell me I have 1 hen and 2 roosters. Really confused and looking for help

all girls. you're lucky!
(Your'e right that one hen is not an araucana, it's an easter egger as i can see based on her pretty colors. Reminds me of one of my hens!)

Hello,

I think this is going to be my first time asking for help...
So, I have to chicks. Both about three weeks and four days old.

And this isn't overly important because I like mysteries so I don't mind if she's too young to tell. Here is a photo of Lil' Maggie. Maggie stands like a rooster.

She might be too young to tell though.
What gender does Maggie look? Thanks!

Thank you! I've been confused because I've read that if the tail feathers curl its a rooster but I've also seen hens with curled feathers. Thank you so much

Are all chickens colored like these ones in my photo some kind of sexlink? (I hope you don't mind all my questions. I'm learning! )

I think u are asking about different breeds..?... if so, some breeds are sex-linked.. from my understanding that means they look very different at hatch. some are not. google sex link chicken breed list or your at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_link . hope this helps

Hey K!

Is this your Deleware/New Hampshire and whatever other breeds are in the cross?

What type of comb does Maggie have?

Hello,

Se is a Buff Brahma / Delaware / Dorking! Well, I still think it is a bit young to tell...

But I think both Maggie and his/her sibling have pea combs. I can just see that different shape that I think is a pea comb. That bumpy comb makes me wonder!
