    Black Australorp roo or hen?

    Hello! We have been debating for weeks on if our black Australorp is a roo or hen... It is now 12 weeks old and the comb and wattle look pretty large to me. It is also particularly "protective" of the other hens and the others noticeably follow it around. Issue now is, we just found one of our...

    5 week old chicks; help identifying sex please?

    Hello fellow backyard chicken keepers! I have my first flock, just about 5 weeks old (the Easter Egger is a week older). I got the chicks from a homestead that claimed they were all pullets, but I suspect that I have one, possibly two (or more??) cockerels amongst my six chicks. I would love to...

    Black Australorp

    I have these two sweet black Australorp and I’m trying to figure out if they’re both female or not. Hoping they are so bad as I already have 2 cockerels so far. What do you guys think?

    Black Australorps birth token white chick

    Hi All I have a flock of BA's(5 hens 1 rooster). I raised them from 8 weeks old. At no point have they mixed with any other breed. I have hatched 2 successful clutches of chicks. With my second batch of chicks, one chick came out white. I figured the chick will become black once they start...

    Gender of my 9wk old chickens!

    Hello! I have three different breed pullets that are 9 weeks old as of 9/15. I think I'm ready to start getting some opinions to make sure they are indeed pullets. I'm not allowed to have a Roo and I want to have plenty of time to try to rehome. I anticipate posting more photos in the future...

    Egg song

    Still waiting on our girls to lay - Mars recently did the rooster squat for me so I think she is close. My question is: Will I be able to tell the egg song apart from normal vocalizations? We have a chatty group and I don't want to miss an egg because I just thought they were yelling for more...

    T-Bone: 9 week old BA, hen or roo?

    Hi all! We have 3 chickens we are quizzical about when it comes to gender or breed. I'll start with the first one: T-Bone the Black Australorp! Super out going, always first out of the coop, always jumping up on our laps or backs - Is T-Bone a hen or roo?

    Chicken mean girls

    Hey y’all I have just recently brought some new chickens home and the current residents are bullying the new ones. The new chickens are a bit smaller than the original ones however I didn’t think this was a problem? There’s a group of three that constantly pick on and nip at the two new...

    Confirm my suspicions?

    Hello! So I have 6½ week old chicks that I have hand raised as our broody bantam rejected them completely. I have 2 black Australorps, 1 Buff Orpington, and 1 Easter Egger (was sold as an Araucana but I'm fairly certain that's not the case) All were bought at a local feed store and were marked...

    Australorp: Cockerel or Pullet?

    Hello chicken people! I finally was able to build myself a coop this year and get myself a new flock of birds. I've looked up multiple threads and tips for sexing chickens, and have done it in the past just fine with some accidental cockerels I'd had, but I'm stumped on this one. I've never...

    Is our Mariah Carey actually a Maury Povitch?

    Hi everyone, We are new to chickens and just introduced 5 chickies to our family in March. We love them! But lately, our beautiful Black Australorp, Mariah (Carey) has been doing a whole lot of what sounds suspiciously like cock-a-doodle-doo... and now we're wondering if she's not a diva after...

    Hen or Rooster?

    This is a 16-week old black australorp. We got her from a local hatchery and were told it’s a hen. She appears to be top of pecking order (of only 3 chickens) and she recently started crowing. No eggs yet. Do I have a rooster or a hen on a power trip?

    Please Help my Sick Chicken !!

    I have a black australorp that is around 6 months old and just started laying eggs about 2 weeks ago. Recently, she constantly makes coughing sounds and keeps on moving her head side to side and swinging her head around. She also has some grumbling sounds that are not coming from her mouth but...

    My Little Flock

    So we've had our girls (hopefully all are girls) since 03/28/21, and we believe they were somewhere around 5 days old when we got them. Based on their development they seem to be almost 4 weeks old now. They had a field trip outside and we finally got some better photos! I'll do individual...
