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.
Chicken confusion land...
Well.... I just learned that the bins I got my hampbars and Rhode Island reds from were mixed up (the store must have flip flopped the labels... and I also ended up with a crevecoeur out of the polish bin... so now... do I have 2 barred rocks? These two are 9-10 weeks...
A whole mix of happy little babies. i know what some of them are but most are EEs.
below: golden-laced (wyandotte?) EE. one of the biggest chicks, almost as big as the turkey poults. super pretty and friendly.

What is this chicken?
5 week old chick. My husband bought 12 chicks a few weeks ago. 4 olive eggers, 4 barred rocks, 4 “lavender Orpingtons”. When he got home with 8 black chicks I told him none of them were lavender orps unfortunately lol So we just didn’t know what they were, but looked very...
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...
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?
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Not exactly, we had chickens when I was young. I just got some new chicks 8 weeks ago I remember how fun they were.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
three
(3) What breeds do you have?
Barred Rocks
(4) What are your...
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!
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...
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...
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...

Hi there!
In April 2021 I bought two Barred Rock ‘pullets’, to add to my flock.
Four months later, my two Barred Rock look a bit different from each other. One has a small pink comb, and the other’s wattles, comb, and overall face is completely developed and red!
This morning, I saw my more...

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...
