Hey there, super new to goats and farm animals in general! This is my ff doe, Alice, who we paired with a Buck in Feb when she was 9 months old. However there was an incident back at the end of December where a buck got loose and spent some time in the doeling pen. We hadn't thought he managed...

Ok Great, I'll hang on to it for a few more weeks, see if anything rooish develops. And thank you! Was hoping for Hulsey colors with chiller temperaments. This may be the only Roo I end up keeping, he's just so pretty. Thanks for the help guys 🙏

After reviewing, it's seems as if I made a mistake and posted the same bird twice. Sorry about the confusion! So 2 and 6 are the same, just in different lighting. I took more pics of him/her, if y'all could take another look? Also just to double check with you guys, 5 is definitely a pullet, and...

I believe most (other than 4, who I think is a hen) are roos. Unsure of 6 also. What do y'all think? Range from 13-14 weeks old, and a mix of EE's, Pumpkin Hulsey, Leghorns.

Thank you! I got some close ups a few of the ones that seem to be in question; in your pics that you marked that the Silkie Mix and EE's are all hens. Up close, what do you think?

Thank you so much for the response. When I was attempting to splint the leg, the chick suddenly lurched and the entire leg shifted and turned from up in the hip area. The entire leg, from the hip, was dangling sideways, and it looked as if it had been broken or dislocated in multiple spots. It...

Just found my 4 week old chick limping, it's leg stuck out at a sharp angle, unable to use it. Seems to be the hock joint, which is swollen. No idea if it's broken, slipped a joint or dislocated. Vets near me won't see a farm animal. I have Popsicle sticks and medical tape, maybe I can splint...

Both hatched from light brown eggs, inserted pic

Unfortunately, the hen that laid them had been bred before coming to me, and she hatched these two. The farm they came from has dozens of breeds and isn't sure which bred her, and they don't seem particularly interested in giving me a list. I saw Buff Orpington, Copper Maran, EE's, and mixes of...

12 weeks

These two are 12 weeks and from the same clutch. Thinking the black one is a hen and the other one is a Roo. They're half Australorp, wondering if anyone can tell what the other half might be?

There's 20 total but the pics I have with all of them are kind of difficult to make out. This pic has all of them

So the Silkie mix a hen you think? And any thoughts on this Ayam mix?

Whew boy! Not sure what I'll do with so many roosters! Haha thank you

These two right? I thought they might be since they've both got red comb as already. That'd be great if the rest were hens!
