Like most people here, I'm new to chickens. I picked up 4 chickens from big R 5 weeks ago - and 3 from tractor supply the next day. Neither sales clerk could even tell me what breed or even the age and I certainly didn't expect them to know what sex. I honestly don't really care one way or the other.
But I'm hoping the experts on here can tell me 1. What I might have (sex wise) and 2. how you came to that conclusion i.e how do you sex chickens at a younger age? What characteristics am I looking for?
I apologize for the picture quality. Turns out getting good pictures is ridiculously hard. I've been handling all the chicks daily from day 1 but they aren't exactly tame
The large dark red one actually is becoming pretty friendly but the rest are really not all that interested in being pets. Oh well.
Thank you so much for your advise.
