    Adopted chicks

    If she's broody then it makes sense. Many times I have had broody hens sit on eggs and raise babies together. If she isn't broody then I would keep her away.

    Ear Lobes = Egg Color?

    It is a myth. It is true that many European breeds with white earlobes lay white eggs, but this is something that has probably been selected for. White eggs were preferred in the past to brown or tinted eggs, especially in European countries. Breeds like the barred Holland were bred to be dual...

    What breed is this

    I believe this is a brown red old English game bantam.

    Hatched Chick

    That is a pretty chick. It looks like an Easter egger, or some other kind of mixed breed.

    Coulor, i never have this one?

    The mother is a lot more brown than I would expect for Bielefelder x lavender Araucana. I think the chick will be darker than her but will still have some brown. It will definitely be barred, like the Malines father.

    Chick genders??

    The RIR and black olive egger look to be males. The Rainbow is king of in between. I think it is probably a pullet. The brown olive egger and the Wyandottes look to be females.

    99 cent chicks from TSC Premium Pullets

    The first might be a hatchery quality buff Brahma. Or else an Easter egger. I think the lighter ones are all Easter eggers of some kind.

    2 month old chicks, gender guesses?

    They're all females. Myrtle is not a brown Leghorn but some type of Easter egger.

    Black copper maran - pullet or cockerel?

    There is a connection, but she won't be laying for another couple of months unless you are very lucky or the age is somehow off.

    Black copper maran - pullet or cockerel?

    Yes, it is a precocious female.

    The father was a…. (a fun game thread)

    Kind of looks like one!

    What gender is this?(30days)

    You are welcome!

    What gender is this?(30days)

    Yes, 6 to 8 weeks should do it. Watch for size and color development in the comb. If that comes soon, then you probably have a cockerel.

    What gender is this?(30days)

    The comb looks a bit big, but it has no color so far. I would give it some more time.

    Laced wyandotte or EE/OE??

    So far it is looking like a pullet. It is a barnyard mix or Easter egger. The coloring doesn't fit for any pure breed.

    TS Bantam Assortment Pen

    Hmmm, could be a gold laced Polish, though I kind of doubt the bantam variety would be at TSC. Probably an Easter egger.

    You're very welcome. If you need help with them, post any time.

    Help with 8 week old chicks

    Yes, it has deeper, bright red shoulders, and overall uneven color. The comb is still small, but I think that will change quickly.

    Trend in the combs? Wiggly single comb?

    Leghorns have big combs in general, but usually they are upright in males. Not always though. Hopefully it won't be a problem for him. Polish chickens cope with their enormous crests, so I'm sure he will adjust. I don't know why he would toss it around. Probably just something he enjoys.

    Are these He s or Roos?

    Polish are very difficult to tell gender, and sometimes it takes until they are several months old. But to my eyes, I do think you're right about the bigger one being a pullet. The crest is tidier than a male's crest would usually be. I'm not sure about the smaller one. In the coming weeks...
