Hey there,
We just picked up a 7 week old silkie. I am aware of the breeds propensity for hiding their gender until the last possible moment. However, I am worried our little one is showing roo tendencies (loud, standing tall, seems to have streaking top feathers) and we cannot have Roos here...
I have two Ameraucanas in my flock (I THINK). The topic still confuses me, because I've learned that just because a chicken has parents that are both Ameraucanas, if they don't meet a certain color requirement, they might not TECHNICALLY be Ameraucanas, but instead be simply classified as an...
Hi, I have 2 21 week old chickens that I’m not sure if they are hens or roosters. The light brown one I think is a hen. she’s been sitting in a nesting box a lot latelyThe dark brown I’m wondering if it is a slow growing rooster. It has some hackle feathers on its neck, in the last week or two...
This blue laced red wyandotte has just started crowing and has tiny spur buds.. approx 16-18 weeks.
The two EEs are approx 14 weeks and are bonded, though probably just because they're the youngest in my flock.
I wish someone would tell me the EEs were really pullets, but I am somewhat...
Hi I've just bought this girl, supposed to be a cream legbar girl and we love her already. But my daughter just noticed the spurs. She's only young (don't know the exact age as she was picked out from a flock of about 300 chickens of all various ages and breeds). 8-12 weeks somewhere... Do you...
Guys, I've successfully integrated 2 Silkies into my mini flock! It took a while but they're now all happily foraging and sunbathing together in their backyard digs. (Yay!)
I've been holding out hope that both of my Silkies are hens - but alas, at 5-months old I'm now fairly very certain, that...
First one (has #1 at bottom right) is 9 weeks old today, #2 is 8 weeks today. Thought I had these figured out but now I’m not sure. If you think cockerel, please tell me why. I know waddle comb is red, but I read Wyandottes can be tricky. Thank you
Some backstory. We ordered 5 unsexed cochins from a hatchery, along with some other birds. As of this post, they are 11 weeks old. We thought we were able to vent sex this brown one as a male, but we have doubts. We're not experienced with vent sexing, so don't fully trust our judgement with it...
Just wanted to confirm our suspicions, this little baby is a roo correct?
Only about 4 weeks old, already seeing little waffles and red comb development
We have had 3 silkies chicks from day1
One confirmed roo, one we are 90% hen and then this guy. I have assumed roo from the beginning since he is our favourite and we can’t keep roosters. but I have some people saying hen. Please let me know if I have a vocal girl or if we need to find him a...
We know the white featherless legs is a roo… the d’uccle has the looks, but no sounds, same with the one we think is old English? No idea on breeds of the black ones either
So, everyone’s favorite game, roo or hem, and breeds?
They’re approx 12-13 weeks
The looks of a roo… but 🤷🏼♀️breeds...
Any thoughts on these 9 BYM? They're around 5ish weeks.
I'm pretty sure I have three roos but I'd love to hear what others think.

is this chicken an Easter egger? I’ve thought she’s a hen for 15 weeks and now im second guessing, could she actually be a Roo? also she’s fast as lightning and incredibly evasive so as far as pictures go this is all i have right now 😂
