    Sex of Wheaten Marans Chicks

    I posted a couple of pics of my two Wheaten Marans chicks a week or two ago. They’ve feathered slightly more now and they’re almost 4 weeks old. I’ve never raised this breed before but judging by the size of their combs I think I have two roos. But one is a lot lighter than the other which gives...

    Issue with Hatching Sex-Linked Chicks, Rhode Island Red Rooster, White Leghorn Hen, AllWhite Chicks

    We are trying to produce our own Golden Comet type production layers. To do this, we purchased Rhode Island Red roosters and White Leghorn hens. We have had two hatches so far and have only had white chicks hatch. Has anyone else tried this? From what we understand, this means we have all males...

    Sexing Polish Chicks

    I’m getting a few polish chicks to add to my flock but nobody local sells sexed polish. I want all girls since roosters will just be given away. What are signs for polish when they are 1-3 days old? I’ve heard of something with the wings but I also heard that every breed is different. I’m...

    Ok so I know you can't know for sure if silkie chicks are boys or girls but I just want some ideas. So I had two of my own chicks and they are two weeks old but they are quite larger from the 2-week olds that I bought. The ones that I bought are silkie frizzles and the ones I had just are just...

    Guess their sex!

    Francesca ( speckled Sussex) and Henrietta ( buff brahma) are my sons two big girls. We got them from a feed store that said they were hens with 90% accuracy. They are 7+ weeks old now. Henrietta had the two layers of wing feathers when she was a baby chick ( though I'm not sure if that's a good...

    Is this a pullet? Opinions?

    “Her” name is Jelly Bean and she’s five months old. One-quarter Silver Phoenix, otherwise a mutt for generations back (bantam/barnyard). “She” had two siblings that were obviously male, whom we’ve already rehomed. We don’t have room for another rooster. She looks like a girl to me, but her...

    Light Sussex sexing

    I’m saying cockerel for this one: And pullet here: Definitely would prefer one of each so we can see the eating aspect of a slow growing heritage breed, but the hens are so pretty!

    Do I have a rooster or just a different breed?

    First time having chickens and ducks. They are coming up on 3mo. 3 ducks and 4 chickens, and after stumbling across this website I have come to realize one of my ducks is a male (which is not a big deal because he's pretty quiet) but I am fearing one of my chicks could be as well. I live in the...

    Need help with my flock!

    I ordered an all female batch of day-olds from McMurray. Well, now they're approximately 13 weeks old and I'm definitely seeing the differences. I didn't have trouble telling the sex of my Speckled Sussex girls, but the Silver Laced Wyandottes are all over the place (or so they are to me). I'm...

    Polish rooster? Please say no!

    My husband is convinced that Miss Polly is a rooster. She is almost 12 weeks old and is doing the morning crowing. We've heard hens crow on YouTube so I'm still holding out some hope. Her waddle is very red, though, and feathers are not so round as our other breed hens. I don't know if a Polish...

    Pullet or Roos?

    These are my five week old Serama chicks. I was told they are a bit young to tell but maybe someone can give it a shot? There are only two with multiple pics of each one. Is it possible to do feather sexing with this breed?
