I was wondering that!

We got a few Easter egger pullets from TS about 3 weeks ago, and normally I would say that’s way too early to sex a chick but what do you guys think? This one’s comb and waddles are very bright, and it’s comb is pretty wide though very flat.

Beautiful! We may just have to steal your door idea for our coop ☺️

Hey everyone! I’m new to BYC and I just wanted to introduce myself! I grew up having chickens and other livestock, but we’re finally getting around to getting some for ourselves. My husband and I, and our 3.5 kids have put together an impressive coop with 20 nesting boxes. At the moment we...

I’m going to have to say you had bad luck with this batch. All three seem to be cockerels to me. You can tell from relatively early on when their combs are dark pink and then start to turn red. I’ll try to post pictures of my buffs at 6 weeks, hen and roo
