These are my 6 chicks. They are about 8 weeks old. Back yard mixes. I have my suspicions about some of them sex wise. Just want a second opinion before I return some of them. Breed is just for fun I know they are mixes so nothing will be accurate. Double points for anyone who can guess who is...
Howdy hi! ☀️
Some of my chicks are pretty obvious with their gender…but these 3 have me stumped. I got them in a straight run from TS and have been searching “signs of hen/roo” for the last 6 weeks. Can you see any obvious signs?
#1 Buff Orpington
#2 Sapphire Sky
3 Buff Orpington
Thank...
Hi! We have five 8-week old chickens with an Easter Egger rooster and either an olive egger, cream legbar, silkie, or buff orpington hen. First time chicken mom and unsure how to sex them. I have my guesses but thought I’d ask for some help. Thank you!
#1 - either olive egger or cream legbar...
Me again. After posting about my 5 bigger chickens where 4 turned out to be cockerels, I figured I’d see if anyone could tell me what these 2 are looking like. I got gifted them and I’m not sure what breed or gender they are or if you can tell at this age. They’re about 8-9ish weeks, the...
We’re new to chickens. We have 9 week old baby chicks and I think the hatchery sent us some males even though we only ordered females. We had 16 and now we have 14, since we lost 2 due to failure to thrive/runt. We ordered Ameracaunas, buff Orpingtons, silver laces Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds...
Ok so I’ve been a little in denial because we’ve been hoping for only one rooster but I fear we have 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we got from a friend, who hatched them in an incubator. These chicks are 8 weeks old. The are buff Orpingtons and the gray and black ones are Green Queens. So the...
I have this 8 week old Light Brahma that is supposed to be a pullet but I am questioning it. What do you think?
Also, she/he has slipped tendon. She is doing good so far with it. She’s as healthy as a horse and gets along on it fine. She uses her wings a lot to get around long distances. We...
Hey! I have 2 lavender Orpington and 1 Black Copper Maran (I think) Chick. They are all 5 weeks old.
I’m leaning to all being pullets but wondering your thoughts? The lavenders are sweet and docile but the BCM is skittish and flighty. Have has all since hatched and handled daily.
Thanks!
Our beautiful Snowball has been giving some serious Roo energy. Big legs, much larger than our other chicks, most aggressive/adventurous, and some curled tail feathers BUT no dark or brown chest feathers. 7 week old Easter Egger. Any thoughts? Luckily will be able to keep Snowball regardless but...
Hey guys!
So I bought a couple chicks from the store.
I have a black copper maran chick and he/she is aggressive. Idk if that’s common for the breed or what.
But every time my hand goes in it pecks at me. None of the other chicks do this.
I got them on March 7th
Let me know if you need...
Hi there, I’m only just over a week in to starting my first flock and I’m loving it! However in my obsession, I’ve started doing some research into sexing chicks… can anyone confirm my suspicions- are these two little chicks cockerels compared to the others in their respective pictures which I...
Hello!
This is our first year having chicks and I’m starting to think that this little one might be a cockerel. “She” is almost 6 weeks old and we got our chicks from our local feed store, so they were sexed.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know what you think!
Hi! This is my first post after following the site for a while 😁 we have a new flock of backyard chickens and all is well. We most recently got five Easter Egger chicks and I’m highly suspicious that “Husky” is a rooster. He/she is five weeks old today and has a very pronounced comb to my novice...
I have two 9 week old cochins and am new to the breed. I bought them as day old unsexed chicks. The white one I think is a cockerel but the buff one I am not sure on, any ideas? Thanks
We have had 3 silkies chicks from day1
One confirmed roo, one we are 90% hen and then this guy. I have assumed roo from the beginning since he is our favourite and we can’t keep roosters. but I have some people saying hen. Please let me know if I have a vocal girl or if we need to find him a...
