I’m just an anxious, first-time goose mama trying to quell her fears 😅
According to Metzer Farms, these two are both female. They were ordered as female, labeled as female, and banded as female, but I’m starting to get worried sick that one (or both..) are ganders. It’s still quite early...
Hello! :frow
I am inserting pics here of two hatchmates. They were hatched on 4/19 and are from the same hen and same rooster. Mama is a White Leghorn and Daddy is an Ameraucana.
Fairly certain that the guy on the left with the hybrid walnut/pea comb is a definite ROO. He started showing roo...
hi! My name’s Jackie, this is my first post. I’m in WA, and we just got our first chicks this year. I bought 2 olive eggers and 2 black copper marans from a local farm (plus 2 ameraucanas from our farm store). The farmer put 4 black, nearly identical chicks in the box and I don’t know which is...
This lovely Easter Egger (I'm guessing here, she was sold as a Ameraucana/Araucana, no such thing) I have been calling Beatrice may be a Bob? She/he is 12 weeks old and has always been the largest of the group obtained from the local farmers' co-op. I will be pleased whatever the outcome!
We are getting ready to register our chickens for our kids to show at fair. Not sure if this one is a hen or roo. Neck feathers are rounded and can't really see any saddle feathers like a roo would have. This is our first white plymouth rock, so we are just learning about this breed. This one is...
picked up 6 turken hatchlings back in September - not sure of the sex of them but one looks ...not like the others. Almost 3 months old now. No crowing yet,but ...I’ve uploaded a few closeups of her/him-and of the other turkens we got at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.
Looking for your help, guys! I've got four birds that I need to figure out if they're hens or roos. Two are brown/multi, one is white, and one is black and white. (We need to get rid of the roos, per law). Thanks in advance!!! (My guess is the white and white/black one are hens).
Hi there,
I'm pretty new to raising chickens, and I've been searching the forums to notice that my Dark Brahma's look just like cockerels. I'm probably just imagining it, but would love your opinions.
Thank you for your time checking these photos out
Hi!
We have an Easter Egger that was supposed to be a female but we are becoming increasingly suspicious that she may be a he. Current age is 9 or 10 weeks.
I found this older forum and it gave me hope that we might luck out in the end...
This is the smallest one out of the three and the other ones seem to have a darker brown fur.
I found three mallard ducklings a few days ago and there mom was killed by my neighbors dog and I need help. First off, how do I tell their gender. Secondly, how do I know their age. Finally, how do I...
So I have 4 Turkey poults, 2 are heritage blue slate/narragansett cross approx 18 weeks old and 2 are Broad Breasted White approx 12 weeks old. I only have one who is displaying, and it's a BBW, can anyone help me ID gender on my 2 heritage? and here's a pic with my BBW Jake for...
hi, we recently started a flock (born first two weeks of March) and this morning heard our first rooster and need to determine which one it is. We think it’s Aura (believe she’s a golden Wyandotte) and we were hoping to post some photos and see what you all think. Thank you for your help, it’s...
This is my 4 month old EE Punkin. Recently we've been hearing some crowing coming from our coop and I think she.. er he is the culprit. I got her/him at Thiesens so I wouldn't be surprised! What do you think?
Hey, so I am new to the mottled java breed and unsure if this is a roo or hen. I was told when "she" was a chick that she was a hen but I know that there is always that 50% chance they are wrong. The mottled java was raised with an Egyptian Fayoumi rooster who is defiantly a roo. They are the...
This is my almost 8 week old polish created chick. I am wondering if it is a pullet or cockerel? Or perhaps it is too soon to tell? Feathers on head are Mohawk like, but not super spiked... no sign of comb or wattle... thoughts?? Such a friendly bird!!
Hi Everyone!
I got this beautiful Silkie and was told it was a rooster. It's 5 months old now and not crowing. Can anyone tell me if it's possible this is a hen?
Also, what's this color called?
Can someone tell me their best guess at gender for these 4.5month old Sizzle (and one silkie) chickens?? Cockerels are illegal in our area so would like to sort things out sooner rather than later. A fourth chicken (not pictured) is for sure a male as he regularly crows, but the white frizzled...
Hello! I’m on my way with my first foray into chickens (and in love with them). We got our chicks from Tractor Supply. It seems like our 5 buff colored chicks might have been mislabeled, so I’m hoping for help in ID-ing breed and gender?
Attached are some photos- sorry for so many, but I...
Help!! I have an almost 2 month old Pekin duck.. Im not sure about the gender. It squeaks all the time (pretty loud) but Also sounds a little raspy and has almost a quack noise like my female duck.. But its not as loud. So I'm confused.. Lol :)
When do they get their drake feathers?
