Hello, I have 5 chickens we've raised from chicks.
There are 4 different types:
1.) Cheerio - Buff Orpington x1
2.) Frenchie - Wheaten Marans x1
3.) Wells - Golden Laced Wyandotte x1
4.) New Hampshire Red x 2
I'm curious based on the pictures if you're able to say whether they are hens or...
Hi, I have a (roughly) 6/7-week-old mixed-breed chick and I’m pretty sure she’s a hen but I just wanted to check. She’s around the same size as all my other female chicks and her comb is practically non-existent although I’m not sure if that’s just because she was picked on during her first...
So, about 6 weeks ago we got 12 straight run chicks from Tractor Supply Co.
We got 6 RIR and 6 Orpington.

I believe I brought this one home around the end of March, it was the only BO in the 7 chicks I purchased - the other 6 were black australorps, 5 of those were roosters lol - so I don’t really have any BO this age to compare it to
I do have some BO pullets that I brought home at the end of April...
I need to know if this is a rooster or not because in city limits roosters aren’t allowed. Got an EE from TSC April 1st so they’re roughly 6-7 weeks old.
Hoping to get some ideas whether these two 6-week old chicks are male or female? Any help appreciated :)
On an unrelated note, anyone have success keeping silkies and orpingtons together?I have 5 silkies, are all mature and these are the only two orps. Hoping having the big birds grow up...
