Hi all!
We live in Kent Washington! I bought 8 chicks about 4-5 weeks ago. I have 2 silkies, 1 polish, 1 California Grey, 1 Red 2 pullets and a sebright. Sure hoping for all hens! My girls love the chickens! Posting a picture of them. As well as a close up of my sebright(if you could tell if it is a rooster or gen I would

Sebrights are "henny" feathered which means the male and female look alike. I don't know what age is best for attempting to sex them. But you could try posting photos at "what breed or gender is this."

How do I go about creating a thread for those links you gave me? I am doing it through my phone?

Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. I'll try to help with your question. Taking the "what breed / gender is this?" forum:

Go to forum at the bottom of the screen and click
Scroll down to "Chicken Breeds" and just underneath that you will see "What breed / gender is this?" - click on that
At the top right hand corner of the screen there's an icon (box with an arrow pointing right) - click on that - the last option is "Start a new thread" - click on that and get typing.

Hope that helps (that's the iPhone version, not sure if the android one is exactly the same)

Ooh! A sebright! I am not a huge chicken fan like most people here (I'm more into ducks) but I do like sebrights.
I'm not great with chickens, but you ever have duck questions let me know!
