    Tail feather picking/pecking order but only on one breed?

    Hi all, Luckily this isn't an emergency post there's no actual injury happening just my chicks annoying my two poor olive eggers but I've noticed my two barred grey olive eggers are targets of tail feather chewing... I say chewing instead of picking because the 10 other chicks aren't pulling...

    What gender are these three chicks?

    I have three chicks, they are 2 months old and I hope i have atleast one girl. If I get any boys I could probably give one to my neighbor as he just culled his roo because he was too aggressive.

    Age old question, barred rock pullet or cockerel?

    Hi everyone! This is Bagels, she is from a repeatable hatchery and should be a she…but I am concerned due to her patterning she is looking more like a He! 4 weeks old…too early to tell? She got her tail feathers VERY early but I don’t have any other BR’s to compare her too! THANK YOU! ☺️ I love...

    Worried this Barred Rock is a Cockerel

    I'm worried this one is a Cockerel. The only reason that's a problem is I live in the city. I live at the edge by a a very large park, but I can't have roosters. It looks like they may have sickle feathers. They are about 4 and 1/2 weeks old. Anyone have any thoughts?

    I have two barred rocks “pullets” and I’m suspecting one may be a roo. Any thoughts?

    Two photos of each. I won’t be upset if one is a boy, but I would like to know. Thank you!

    Sexing Barred Rock Chicks

    Hi everyone! Yesterday my first lot of barred rock chicks hatched! Is anyone here familiar with sexing them at a day old? After reading google and looking at head spot and leg colouring, I think I have 3 pullets and 2 cockerels. Would anyone else agree by looking at their head colouring? Thanks!

    Barred rock, female or male?

    I know people probably post a ton of these, but you folks seem like the experts so here I am. I have a barred rock chick, now about 4 weeks old. I believe him to be a rooster, but am unsure. They are larger than my other 2 chicks of the same age by quite alot, and they stand tall with a large...

    Chick breed guess

    It's been 4 years since getting new chicks. Back to the excitement of hoping and worrying what breed and gender we ended up with. 😆 This little one is about 1 week old. Very curious and active, but doesn't look anything like what I anticipated. I went in (TS) for a blue laced red Wyandotte and...

    Pure or Mixed Barred Rock?

    I recently got two, 2 month old Barred Rock Pullets, and was wondering if they truly are Barred Rock? Compared to my other two 5 month old Barred Rock chickens, my two month olds have lighter legs. They do have the dark splashing though…So, I believe that they are Barred Rock, just maybe have a...

    6 week partridge plymouth rock gender??

    This is a partridge plymouth rock at approximately 6 weeks. I’ve had horrible luck with chicks turning into roos and the fact that this one has a comb starting freaks me out. However, it’s mostly yellow and I don’t really see any wattles forming yet so those seem like good signs. What’s your...
