    Can anyone help sex these 13 week pullets??

    Hello all!! I currently have 3 chicks, all hatched on 3/31. I was told by the farm they are: white leghorn, Easter egger & black copper maran. I am really just curious to know if anyone thinks these are possibly Roos?! I am mainly curious about our Easter egger, Martha Stewart. She (he) is the...

    Ever hear of this sexing trick?

    I'm skeptical but my husband seems to think this is a good guess for sexing chicks(2-3 weeks old). He says, if you pick up a chick and it's legs dangle carefree -Cockerel. If they tuck their legs up to their tummy, pullet. Anyone able to add credibility to this?

    Chick sexing Cockerels or Pullets

    Here we go again! Got 7 chicks for you guys to throw your guesses at. This is not my first rodeo with raising chicks and if you followed my original run, I was really unlucky with the Roosters (6 R/9 H). It's time again to have a guess - I'm well aware that attempting to sex them this early is...

    Sexing Black Copper Marans chicks

    Hi. Two Black Copper Marans chicks born on MAY 31st : I think they are tiny roosters : at 1-week-old, no feather was emerging from their tail... and I could be mistaken, but at 26-days-old, their comb looks kind of big...? (It should mean they are boys, right?) I'm hoping for at least one...

    Sexing/identifying 5wk quail chick

    Hello! I am hoping for some help sexing this 5 week old coturnix chick. It may be too early but I’m hoping to make some coop decisions soon as I’m going out of town.

    My Horrid Cockerel to Pullet Ratio

    Just want to take a quick sec to rant about how HORRIBLE my pullet-to-cockerel ratio is! :he In my first batch of 20 hatchery chicks, only 7 were pullets (and one was eaten by a neighbor's dog. :hit) My batch of 10 hatchery ducks only had 2 hens (and one of them doesn't lay, so basically one...

    4 week chicks - Pullets?

    So I have three 4 week old chicks (exactly 28 days today), one barred rock (Owl), one sapphire gem (Cinder), and one buff orpington (Daisy). The orpington I'm not concerned about, as I'm about 99% certain she's a pullet. The barred rock I vacillated on for a while due to temperament and a more...

    BCM Chick development, male vs female

    Ok, so I've got these two, 4wk old fancy bcms. I am half convinced one is a cockerel and the other is a pullet. The thing is the one who looks and behaves like a pullet is quite bigger than the "cockerel". The "cockerel" is way feistier and more challenging to my other isbar cockerels. Also...

    Barred Rock Roo’s?

    Pretty sure I know the answer but always good to get another’s opinion. They’re almost 5 weeks old but have pretty prominent bright combs and wattles already coming in. One seems to be getting more tail feathers like my buff orpington ladies. One cockerel we can handle but two I’m sure will lead...

Anyone else want to take a look and give their opinion. One rooster we can manage but two I worry we will run...
