pullet

Our jubs are 6wks old and we still can’t decide who is a boy or a girl. Thoughts?

Hi folks, I’ve got two new hens, one Easter Egger and a cream legbar the E.E has been laying well, but the Cream Legbar hasn’t yet, but she has been sitting down a lot outside ever since we got her just sitting not on eggs or anything just sitting down whilst everyone else is looking for bugs...

We were told these were Easter eggers however the lack of a muff and the larger single comb is throwing me off. They are showing more and more color every day, two of them (2,3) with a predominant gray overcast with the splash. One of them (2) has some faint speckles of red. (3) is showing...

Looking for input on the gender of my araucana chicks since I am not good at sexing them until they crow.

I have two month old pullets, all have been fully feathered for several weeks. All except for this one. We just got through treating a nasty scab on her back from her picking at herself (hence the purple stain, thanks Blu-Kote). Now her feathers are finally coming in there, but they look…...

Hello there! Brand new to BYC and brand new (IMPATIENT) chicken mama. I am not allowed to have roos where I am located, so I want to figure them out ASAP so they can go to a lovely, new coop / family! :p I have 6 chicks I got from TSC from pullet bins on March 10th, but you know how reliable...

Hey Everyone! I've been researching sexing Black Australorps and I'm at all loss here, so I'm hoping someone might have experience with this breed and help me out :) We added to our flock this year and I was so excited to find Black Australorps at our local feed store. They were supposed to be...

I’ve posted my sweet Delawares a couple times at different ages. They’re roughly 11 weeks old now and I REALLY want to finally give them names 😁 What does everyone think?

Hey there! I have a 6 week old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chick. First time raising this breed. Does it look like a cockerel or pullet? It stands upright a lot and herds other chicks. Its neck feathers are still coming in. Any chance it could be a female?

We have two lavender Orphingtons, this one we are on the fence on if it’s a Roo or a Hen? Almost 7 weeks old. Any thoughts? Or characteristics to look out for with this breed in the coming weeks? Thanks for the input! We will continue to wait until we hear a crow and then will have to find this...

Hatched April 1st looking to be Pullet or roo?

Please tell me I still have a chance for atleast one of these marans to be a pullet! Almost 5 weeks old. First pic is of our for-sure cockerel who was hatched the same time as the others around 3/25.

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...

Just curious on these NN. Thank you.

My marans purchased as straight run chicks are now 3 weeks old. Pullets or cockerels!? Chick 4 is my splash marans, chick 3 is my blue marans, and chick 2 is our other splash marans.

Hi All. First post. Forgive me if i do not incldue all the information. We have 6 Five-Week Old Chicks from TSC. We got them under the guise of Calico Princess Pullets (They were not labeled as straight run). In the first picture you can see the ones that actually are Calico Princess but we got...

Hey guys! So I bought a couple chicks from the store. I have a black copper maran chick and he/she is aggressive. Idk if that’s common for the breed or what. But every time my hand goes in it pecks at me. None of the other chicks do this. I got them on March 7th Let me know if you need...

Hello all, I have a silkie pullet that I bred that does not look like a normal paint. Her spots are very dilute, she looks like a blue paint. I'm wondering if anyone knows the genetics behind blue paint? My understanding with typical paints is that a bird with a dominant white gene breeds with...

so I bought these chicks three Saturdays ago. I know my local tractor supply receive them on that Thursday so they’re like three weeks and two days old the two blackish ones are supposedly blue Australorps, but they look to me how my plymouth barred rock looked, so now I’m confused did they mess...

I bought what was supposed to be BO from TS: then it dawned on my that their wing feathers are black and white. Is this a mix breed or even an Orpington at all?
