this six week old chick has an all black comb so I can’t tell if it’s a roo from early redness in the comb.. I think the tail looks roo-ish but I’m hoping not.
We got this Green Queen from Meyer Hatchery as a free “meal maker” layer chick. She’s got muffs and 5 toes.
We are really hoping she’s a pullet as she’s calm and friendly and we love her fluffy face.
She had big legs as a small chick but now is the same size as our Brahma chick who is...
Hello, I have a suspicion that one of the 6 "pullets" we bought from Rural King is a cockerel. (S)he's about 6 weeks old. We can't keep a rooster, so it will be nice to know ahead of time if we need to rehome him/her or not.
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...
This is our first hatch from our own eggs and is finally 6 weeks old... and my husband and I have differing opinions on gender. Haha, can anyone help us figure out if I'm right?...or if he's right? Thank you!
Hello!
I have a blue and a splash australorp chicks about 6 weeks old.
I'm not certain but I feel both might be boys. Really hoping they're girls haha.
Blue - very bold and curious
Splash - quite timid
Any thoughts welcome!
Hello! I am new to chickens and am in a constant battle of Rooster or Hen with my 6 little babies.
They are all 5-6 weeks old in the pictures.
We have 2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Rhode Island Reds that were purchased as Pullets from Tractor Supply.
The other 2 were hatched for us and we were...
Our sweet Wilma (or Willy) is now 6 weeks old. We were told she was a hen when we got her as a chick... but we are increasingly becoming suspicious. Shes extremely sweet and cuddly!!! Her comb and wattles are very pink and quite pronounced. I've read it can still be too early to tell. Any...
Hi Everyone,
I need help with gender identification, please! Breed posted above each photo(s)! I have someone who is coming to get my 7 week old welsummer rooster, she rescues roosters and let's them free range on her acreage. So I was hoping to be able to identify other roosters as I can't...
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.
Now, I get the feeling I may only have about two hens of each kind 😅
I’ll share some pictures, and you guys can let me know what you think!
Looking for thoughts on these babies’ gender. They will be 6 weeks on Wednesday and are from a mixed hatch. I am fairly certain the black barred is from my friend’s barred rock male unsure the hen.
The other two are from her friend who said they are all Black Cooper Marans. One has the copper...
We got some “Assorted Colour Layers” from Peavey Mart (TSC) and these two are really making me question if I should be referring to the group as “the ladies”. They are 6 weeks old. Potential breeds are: ,Cream Legbar, Easter Egger, Midnight Majesty Marans, Olive Egger, Prairie Bluebell Egger...
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.
