Hi friends! My family and I are the proud owners of 4 Rhode Island Red chicks, now 6 weeks old. They came from a reputable, local hatchery and we were assured they were sexed pullets. From an early age, two of the chicks were the bravest, most inquisitive and have now grown into the two biggest...
Hello everyone! This is my first post but curious to see if you can tell if we have pullets. We got 6 Rhode Island Red chicks may 2nd and was told they were between 2 and 3 weeks old. Except they just now look appropriately 4 weeks old (to me). By their "aging" they would be 6.5 weeks old. We...
Hello all! These are my 5 week old baby chicks. Their breeds are: black australorp, barred plymouth rock, rhode island red, olive easter eggers (2 grey ladies), and a golden laced wyandotte.
I’m curious to see if anyone can sex them because I have no clue how to- they’re my first flock! Please...
Hello! After many years of going onto this site to troubleshoot and learn, I decided to join the community! I’m a chicken and guinea owner from New York and we’ve owned chickens on and off in the past years. However, this year our flock is bigger than ever and I’m very excited to watch them grow...
I have 15 chicks, 5 of which are Rhode Island Reds. I was told the chicks were all about 1 day old when I purchased them on the 7th of May, making them just over 2 weeks old now. 4 of the 5 seem to be developing just fine, with no problems. The last one, however is not. The one seems to be in...

Hi everyone,
Just want to introduce myself a bit. Name is Josh I live in Rhode Island and for Mother's Day my family is deciding to surprise my mother with chicks and to start a small family homestead. We have 3 RI Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Buff Orpington, and 2 Easter Eggers. We are picking the...
Hello everyone,
Our chicks will be 6 weeks old on the 13th and I'm curious if you think one of our RIR's is a pullet or cockerel. Their comb is bigger than the other RIR and pinker. I will attach photos of both of my girls. The first 2 are of my chick in question, Reba as we call her now, and...
Hi all! We just got some lovely little additions to our chicken family today! Two amberlinks, one production blue, and one rhode island red. Got them at the local feed store. They look bigger than I remember our last chicks from a couple years ago were.. I could be wrong but wouldn’t mind some...
I got 6 Heritage Rhode Island Reds from TSC. They are about 6-7 weeks old now. As soon as this one’s feathers came in they’ve had blackish “laced” tips. She (or he 😳) is also a bit smaller than the rest of the RIRs. She’s always seemed to fly better than the rest and gets up higher than the...
