    Help with 8 week old chicks

    Yes, it has deeper, bright red shoulders, and overall uneven color. The comb is still small, but I think that will change quickly.

    Trend in the combs? Wiggly single comb?

    Leghorns have big combs in general, but usually they are upright in males. Not always though. Hopefully it won't be a problem for him. Polish chickens cope with their enormous crests, so I'm sure he will adjust. I don't know why he would toss it around. Probably just something he enjoys.

    Are these He s or Roos?

    Polish are very difficult to tell gender, and sometimes it takes until they are several months old. But to my eyes, I do think you're right about the bigger one being a pullet. The crest is tidier than a male's crest would usually be. I'm not sure about the smaller one. In the coming weeks...

    Trend in the combs? Wiggly single comb?

    The first one's comb looks normal to me. The other one's comb seems to be the result of single comb and pea comb mixed together at some point. Or it could just be a weird single comb. If there was some mixing, it was probably a couple of generations back. It's nothing to worry about. They will...

    What is she?

    The one in front has a pea comb. She's probably an olive egger. The one in back is more tricky. She could be something like a Mystic Onyx or some other hatchery fibro variety. But any black breed can get dark facial skin like that. I would look under her feathers to see if the rest of her skin...

    EE - Pullet?

    The comb says male, the color pattern says female. I would give this one some more time before deciding. You can post back at any time.

    I got these two maybe 2-3 month old red bourbon turkeys

    Yep, there are a lot of forums. You posted in the right place but sometimes answers come quicker in when you try in multiple forums.

    Are these paint sussexs?

    I agree with the Moonshiner. They are not pure Sussex. They may be mixes involving that breed somewhere, but to me they look more like Leghorn mixes.

    I got these two maybe 2-3 month old red bourbon turkeys

    I am clueless about turkeys, but wanted to suggest posting this directly in the turkey forum if you do not get timely answers in here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/turkeys.20/

    Help with 8 week old chicks

    I agree with the rest of the gang. First is a pullet, second is a cockerel.

    What gender is my sweet 3 month old chick?

    It's a pullet, in my opinion.

    Silkie gender

    It can happen real fast, can't it?

    Polish update still unsure

    It is 100% a cockerel. Those slim, pointy feathers coming in at the back of the crest are male specific feathering.

    Jersey gigant chick, boy or girl?

    Me either, but this is a very slow developing breed, so I would give it more time.

    What breed and gender is this chicken

    Looks like a buff laced Polish mix to me. It is a pullet.

    Need help identifying pullets!

    Olive eggers can look like anything. The one on the right looks more like a black sex link, and the one on the left might be an olive egger. I guess you'll know when they lay.

    Silkie gender

    Both look like males to me. Odd that they haven't crowed, though. I guess watch for eggs and continue to listen for crowing.

    Checking genders and breeds

    At 16 weeks, cockerels would show male specific feathering, and there is none. Lavender Orpingtons can be variable in color as chicks. I can't think what else they'd be because there aren't any other lavender varieties on Hoover's website.

    Checking genders and breeds

    All are pullets. The lavenders are Orpingtons, you are correct about the Prairie Bluebell egger, and I think the red one is a Calico Princess or similar hatchery hybrid. *I believe the red one is a Hampbar after looking at Hoover Hatchery's website.
