    Are these silkie male streamers?

    Are these male streamers on our 13 week old silkie? They’re not really longer than the other feathers but I’m nervous 😬 I figured I could get ahead of the game and arrange a home for him before he crows bc my neighbors will NOT be pleased (plus we’re not allowed roosters where we live) if he...

    Pullet or cockerel?

    Good morning! I recently started my own little flock. I wish I had done better about which breeds I got but I only remember a few.

    Barred Rock Cockerel or Pullet?

    My 2 Barred Rocks are about 8-10 weeks old and they look quite different. The first 4 pictures are Francis and the last 4 pictures are of Jet. I’m thinking Francis is a cockerel but the coloring is the same as Jet, so that’s really throwing me off. What do you think? Thank you!
