    4 week old Australorp - male or female?

    Hello everyone! First time posting, long time scroller. We have a very sweet 4 week old Australorp (possible mix). Wondering if anyone with more experience can guess whether Wilma is actually a Willy? She has developed very big legs and wing and tail feathers very quickly, and now has a pink...

    Huge comb at 4 weeks - what are the chances it's a hen?

    Hi all, I know 4 weeks old is pretty young to be sexing but I have one chick who has grown a ridiculously large comb. This particular chick came from a huge egg, was a huge chick from the get-go, and has grown much faster than the others. One other chick I suspected of being a rooster because it...

    Mystery rare breed purchase

    What do we think she is? 4 weeks old. I got her in a rare breed assortment from MyPetChicken and I'm thinking Sumatra because of the extra long tail and bright yellow underside of her feet but I'm new to this and not totally sure.

    Light Brahma roo or pullet 4.5 weeks???!!!

    Alright, I’ve looked but I’m not seeing good comparison pics so I’m asking here. I have a pair of light Brahmas, 4.5 weeks old. Pretty sure one of my pullets is either a roo or a turkey 😂. Assuming from pics y’all will be able to know who I’m questioning. If not then he’s probably not a roo...

    The Late Bloomer

    So my last post about Lucy (aka Nubby) talked mostly about her weird nubby wings (which is still a mystery), as well as her lack of feathers. Well, today I found an article about delayed feathering in chicks. It's not something I've personally come across before raising chicks, so I thought I...

    Lucy AKA Nubby

    I've introduced Lana and Tori, now I give you Lucy. Little Lucy is a very special Brahma chick. She's earned the nickname Nubby or Nubs or Nub Nub due to her... well.. nubby wings. I brought her and her sister (well two sisters, Audrey and Marilyn, unfortunately Marilyn was dead the next...

    Cockerel? Almost four weeks

    Is it too soon to tell? I feel like this gal is going to end up being a boy. It’s supposed to be a California White Leghorn if that helps. Her comb is much larger than the others and she has “charged” at me twice. I think she thought I had food and was wicked excited. She’s always the first to...

    4 week chicks

    Can you guys and gals please help me in sexing these 3, 4 week olds. Have my doubts as to at least 2 being roos. Exchequer leghorn, columbian blacktail, and rir I believe. 2 photos of each bird Thanks again

    What breed?

    This bantam is a roo for sure, the other 3 are noticeably smaller, and he has the beginning of red to his comb/waddles. So much easier to sex than the Polish and Silkies! 4 weeks old

    5 Week Old Chick Not Growing?

    I just got four - 4 week old chicks last week. 2 - Cream Crested Legbars, 1 - Olive Egger and 1 Welbar. When I got the chicks home I did notice one chick (one of the CCL's) was smaller but thought maybe it was just younger. Now 1 week has gone by and it really doesn't seem like this chick is...

    3 1/2 week old Buff Orpington - comb larger and pinker than the others

    YES! It's still too early to tell...HA! But just humor me??? This buff's comb is quite clearly larger and pinker than the other 8 buff that I have! Although she/he seems to stand more like a pullet at times. Thoughts? :)

    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...
