I have a number of chicks growing with these darker combs. For some reason I was under the impression that pale or dark combs are usually pullets for any breed except AC. Can anyone chime in on this for me. Chicks are 4-6 weeks old.
Hi all,
I’d love a second opinion on one of my chicks. I ordered a batch of pullets hatched on April 15, but my Black Australorp is looking very suspicious at just over 5 weeks old.
He/she has:
A noticeably larger, redder comb than the others
Wattles starting to develop already
Slower...
Hey all, hatched these two seramas just over a month ago. Can they be sexed this young? Was thinking black is a cock and other is a hen. What do you guys think 😊
So long story short. Two years ago we got two handmedown down chickens....
Of course immediately decided that was not enough and bought four more. Straight run. It was 2 roosters and 2 hens. The two hens never did well. One of the first hens also died and then last spring I turned our shed to a...
Chicks have been so hard to come by with everyone buying them out instantly in our area. We really wanted Buff Orpingtons and so I was able to snag these 3 from TSC 4 weeks ago as straight run. We live in town and, unfortunately, cannot have Roos. I know it’s early but I’m worries all three of...

I know it's still a bit early to try to be determining sex, however I have seen some people say they can see a difference with this breed at about 3-4 weeks. These are splash isbars from Alchemist Farm and they are right around the 4 week mark, maybe a couple days older. If anyone has experience...
Hello I'm new here but I've recently come into owning a chicken it was actually just wondering the street this evening it looked very young and there's a lot of cats in my area so I now am the owner of a chicken I actually need some help if anyone can try sexing and telling me the breed so I can...
one of my chicks that i’ve suspected of being a rooster has a different head shape than the others (front) the forehead is bigger? can this be an indicator for sexing or are they just a little unique?
Hello all you chicken lovers,
I could use a second opinion on whether or not this baby is a roo or pullet. Almost 5 weeks old. Comb development has increased slightly. She/he hatched out of a dark brown egg, and I’ve been stumped as to what cross it could be. As a chick she had two black spots...
I have a Rouen duckling that’s 4 weeks old and we’ve been trying to sex it, but we’re not going to try and vent sex them because we don’t want to risk hurting them. At first I thought they might be a male because of how yellow their bill is turning. Since adult male Rouens have the yellow bill...
I have 1 Olive Egger, 1 Black Maran, & 1 Blue Maran Pullets. They are 6 & 7 weeks old ( they look a little younger to me to be honest). According to the person I got them from, they are all Pullets. But, I just don't feel confident that they are all Pullets. Anyone think one of these guys is a...
New chicken owner here! Please help me identify if this blue Plymouth chicken is a pullet or roo. Supposed to be a pullet! Age: between 5-6 weeks old. I’ve gotten mixed answers everywhere half say hen half say roo. This is a mix between blue Andalusian roo and barred rock hen. On one of the tail...
I’m curious to see what genders these chicks are. They are 4 weeks old and their dads are Easter Eggers. Please help me out!

Hello was just curious what everyone’s opinion was on my chicks. They are 4 weeks old so I know it is still pretty early to tell if they are roos but they are very aggressive towards each other. We think we might have three roos. Two of them are Rhode Island Reds and the other one is an...
Hi!
We have twelve chicks. We know one is definitely a rooster, but trying to understand if there are any others.
Can someone help me figure out HOW to tell a rooster among the different styles of combs?
Here is a picture of my Splash Laced Red Wyandotte. 5 weeks old. Rose comb? How can you...
