HELLO, my name is brittany and new to the world of owning chickens. I live in New Jersey and am the proud owner of 7 chickens. My chickens are about 3 months old and unfortunately dont know who’s a male and a female. I live on over an acre of land and also have deer that come and eat out of my hand. If anyone has helpful tips & any ask w it would be greatly appreciated !

Hi Brittany, welcome to BYC! Thanks for joining us!
The deer eat out of your hand? That’s so cool!

Hello, Brittany, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
At 3 months old, it is very easy to distinguish between male and female. Feel free to either post pictures of each bird here or in the What Breed or Gender is This? forum. Full body profile pictures with the bird free standing.

Hi, Brittany, and welcome to BYC. The birds pictured are neither sex links or Rhode Island Reds. They may be light Brahmas, and there are at least 3 cockerels.

I agree with Sour. They look like light Brahmas and you've got 3 cockerels on the perch. The rest appear to be pullets
What are you going to do with the boys?

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. I would advise you not to get friendly with the deer. Deer that are fed lose their fear of humans and may walk right up to hunters. Secondly some deer carry lyme ticks - lyme disease is not something I would wish on a worst enemy.
