Picked these babies up April 28th and the lady said that they should be three weeks, so about 6 weeks old now? But I don't know because the first one is fully feathered at this point.
So, the first one is a different shade of white than my white leghorns. Like gray-ish, I would say like a...
I got Chicks-bantam from tractor supply for a dollar each because they are "old" at 3-4 weeks.
They could not tell me the breeds though. Can somebody tell me the breed of these two Chicks?
Thanks so much!

Its ages is an est. of ten weeks. Is it a Plymouth Barred Rock? Is it a cockerel? Do barred rock cockerels grow spurs? If it is a cockerel, should I remove it ASAP? I have a mixed breed flock with one other PBR and about to fully merge this one into my existing flock of 6. The one on the box is...
Hi there fellow chicken enthusiasts! I am really new to this business and have been obsessed with reading and watching videos on what possible genders and breeds my bundles of fluff could be. I know that the sexing methods aren't really something that can be trusted and that I should wait for...
Okay so about a month ago, my beloved Rudy the Turken rooster succumbed to his injuries after fighting off some sort of predator. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but he and one hen were missing at bedtime, couldn't find any sign of either of them anywhere, and Rudy literally hobbled in...
Hello Everyone. First time Chicken owner here and have been feeling like quite the idiot the past few weeks. I recently purchased some chicks from my local TSC. I should have payed more attention, but that is my own fault, as I was going after “unique” and “pretty” chickens. I need help...
Hi!
I ordered the suprise box of chicks from alchemist farm in California. Didn’t get to choose any of the breeds in the box. Was suppose to get 10 and pleasantly surprised with 15 beautiful babies. Would appreciate any help with breed identification and sex. The potential breeds are German...
My wife and I bought chicks from a hatchery and were wondering if we got the correct order. So as not to taint possible answers I don't want to tell what was supposed to be in the box.
Any guesses as to breed and gender would be appreciated. The chickens are wearing colored bands for easy...
Hi everyone, i have recently took in 8 little day old chicks. They have now hit the 5 week mark and i am curious about their breeds. I dont know very much about chickens, learning as i go. This site has already helped a lot. I am also wondering how many roosters i have. I have 2 that i am pretty...
Hey everyone! I picked these chicks up this weekend, so far out of the six I’ve narrowed down I have:
1 Australorp
2 Rhode Island Red OR Easter Egger
1 Buff Orpington (who I strongly think is a rooster)
Last two I can’t figure out is this brown/black pattern pullet (who’s pretty!) & then the...
My school hatched chicks in science class & I took 6 of them home! I’ll tell you what I know: they hatched from blue, greenish blue, & brown eggs. The breed “Ameraucana” was tossed around but upon further research I’ve read those are rare so I wanted to get some expert opinions ;) they are...
Hi,
Have what I think are 3 boys - grey, black and white and two girls - white and brown.
Have no idea on breeds, and would like to know if my assumptions on the genders are correct!
What I think is a rooster (the black one with white bits - doesn’t crow like the other two and is VERY calm so...
Hey Everyone, we are pretty new to chickens and were wondering about breeding. We have a lavender orpington rooster. We have heard that a lavender would produce black offspring. Our hen breeds are golden laced wyandotte, silver laced wyandotte, rhode island red, butf brahma, gold sexlink, and...
Hi! I bought my first chickens this spring (two hens and one is a Salmon Faverolle). I was told this hen was a Rhode Island Red, but when she started laying we were surprised to find white eggs. Also I just noticed her white earlobes. Did I end up with some kind of mutt? Can anyone tell? Thanks...
We got an assorted group of chicks about six weeks ago and we have figured out the breeds of all except this one, and we aren’t sure if this little one is a he or a she either. Can I get a little help figuring all this out?
