    Rhode Island Red Mixed Chicks - Hens or Roos?

    I hatched 5 RIR mixed chicks. The person I got the eggs from has RIR hens, White Leghorn hens, Prairie Bluebell hens and mixed hens she has hatched. She has a RIR rooster so all the chicks are at least part RIR but some are likely mixed. The chicks are about 8 weeks old and I am having a hard...

    Cockerels or pullets?

    These are my two 8-9 week old chicks that I’m starting to worry about. One of them (at least) is crowing in the mornings. Can you tell which is a cockerel? The tan chick is a Buff Orpington. Not sure about the black one.

We got 4 chicks and then decided to add 2 more, so we have 4 15 week old chickens (they all appear to be hens, miraculously) and two 8 week old chickens that I bought from a local farm. I am not sure on the genders yet, but one is an Ameraucana...

    BLR Blue laced red wyandottes - 8 weeks old

    Combs not very visible in pictures as they're a rose combed breed so hard to tell & at the moment they all look the same. Believe 3 is a pullet and 1 & 2 are roos, but wanted some input to be sure. Basing mainly off the neck feather shape and the fact that 3 feathered significantly earlier than...

    Moving outside- Any tips?

    My girls are now 7 and 8 weeks old, and I feel a bit over due for the big move out, lol! We already have 2 hens (about a year old) that are in a Tractor Supply coop with a run built into it, which is inside the much bigger chicken yard my husband is about 75% done building. The big girls are out...

    Thought roo, feels hen!

    8 week old BCM mix. Acts so much like a hen, timid, has never puffed up and bumped chests like their brothers. Had a dramatic comb early. Feet don’t look so big to me now. Thoughts?

    Lethargic weak chick. Please Help

    I had 40 eggs in the incubator. On day 19 the incubator malfunctioned and the temp spiked way too high. I ended up with 3 cockerels and 1 pullet. She had curled toes, pasty butt, wouldn't eat, and required an assisted hatch. After 2 weeks she was healthy enough to be with the other chicks. They...
