Hi All! Here’s an update at ~3 weeks of age. Any guesses on gender or breed? I tried to get a side/front view of each. There are 4 chicks total.
Thanks so much!
I’m wondering if one of these may be a cockerel? They’re around 2 weeks old. Also, are they sapphire gems? No real idea but they were labeled as olive eggers.
Possible male
Not 100% on the age. Youngest this one could be is 2 weeks old +/- 2 days. This one is the same size or bigger than their siblings but much shorter wing/tail development. One of their siblings has wings so long they’re as long as her body! I’ll post a pic for comparison.
This little one is 2-3 weeks old. No idea of breed. No tail yet to speak of, just a little fluff bump. Grey-blue eyes, light yellow/grey feet, black beak. Wing feathers coming in black w/a bit of grey. Any guesses on breed or gender? Their same-age “siblings” have tails.
Hi all! I have 4 chicks roughly 2 weeks old. No solid ideas about what breeds they are. any guesses?? They mostly look distinct from one another marking wise. I know it’s too early for sex determination but guesses welcome on that too! Two look somewhat similar with chipmunk-like coloring, but...

Over the last 8 years I’ve had hens taken/attacked by bald eagles, hawks, foxes, and weasels. Each time there is ample evidence of attack — typically in the form...
Hey all!
The sapphire gems I posed about in May are now around 11/12 weeks old. Here’s the original thread:

Here are photos of the same 2 today. I’m not seeing distinctively male feathers on the redder...
Hey y’all. I have 2 set of 6 chicks, one around 7 weeks, one around 11 weeks old. All regular sized pullets, no bantams. They’re currently cooped separately at night but together in a fenced yard all day. They mostly stay/move around in their individual groups but will occasionally (accidentally...
Hi y’all! These were labeled as Ameraucanas (pullets) when I got them as babies… but I have my doubts now! They’re about 10–11 weeks old.
Any thoughts on breed or gender? Thanks so much!
