    Hen or Rooster?!

    Hi all! I purchased 5 baby hens almost a month ago from our local urban farm store, and one (our favorite black australorp, Violet) is sprouting long tail feathers (see images). Any of you able to help me tell if she's actually a Rooster? If so, she'll need a new home, since rooster aren't...

    Was supposed to be 23 pullets but....

    I bought 17 chicks from TSC all pullets, then bought 6 from Rural King that were assured to be all pullets. Well, the 3 New Hampshire reds seem to be pullets but the 3 black Australorps may not all be. One is definitely but the other 2 - not so sure. Also I'm questioning the breed of one of them...

    Is this a black Australorp?

    I got one of my chickens in September from a flea market, it was just a chick and I asked what breed it was, unfortunately the "breeder" (Or just the guy selling them) didn't know what it was, do any of you have any ideas? (His name is Shadow by the way)
