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...
I have 4 chicks that are 2w 2d old from what I believe to be a cream legbar roo and for sure buff orpington hen. I do know there's no real way to tell at this point but I enjoy guessing and since these are my first chicks ever, thought I'd enlist some more experienced guessers to play along! My...
We have four Welsh Harlequins just over 6 weeks old. We thought they were all males based on coloration, but I'm pretty sure I heard one of them quack. They don't make much noise except for chirping so it's hard to tell based on voice. Do females sometimes start out dark like this or are they...
The lighter one is turning lavander. Pretty sure she's a hen. The dark brahma seems to be a roo which is great. We wanted a roo to add to the flock. Looking for some input from experienced brahma owners.
Hey!
Wondering if anyone had any insight as to which colour phase my 5 week old Welshies are. Also any guesses on sex? The lighter one had the pinker bill as a baby (breeder said this isn't very accurate with her ducks) and is much louder than the other who has yet to make any noise other...
Hi all, still unsure on the sexes of 3 of my chicks. The Polish in the background is definitely a v.proud noisy little cockerel ☺️ the two pekins (?) I change my mind everyday and the silkie I haven’t a clue. Any opinions warmly welcomed ! They are 8 weeks old.
Hey folks,
1 of my 8 chicks (supposedly all pullets) has had a red comb and waddles since about 7.5 weeks and is also much taller and larger than my other light brahmas. The other 7 have small, barely raised, salmon colored combs and are just barely getting their waddles 2.5 weeks later.
Other...
Hi everyone, we posted here about a month ago asking about sexes of our chickens that were labeled as production reds from TSC. They're about 1.5-2 months old now and would like your opinions again.
One is obviously a starlight green egger (below), which we believe is a pullet. Can anyone help...
We were given a bunch of mixed breed chickens so we have no ideas on breed but we’re having a hard time sexing them so any help would be greatly appreciated! They’re around 3 months old
I believe I brought this one home around the end of March, it was the only BO in the 7 chicks I purchased - the other 6 were black australorps, 5 of those were roosters lol - so I don’t really have any BO this age to compare it to
I do have some BO pullets that I brought home at the end of April...
Hello! I have my suspicions about this chicken, currently called Annabelle- do you think this is a cockerel or a pullet? The breed is BBS Orpington and the age is about 11 weeks old. Thank you!!
Hello all,
I recently received 12 black sex link pullets from a hatchery.
One of them seems to have a small white spot on the side of her head… is this a cockerel or just a nicely decorated pullet?
See attached 2 pics 4 days apart.
Hello! I have 11 bym mix chicks between 5-6 weeks old. These chicks I'm curious on, can't quite figure out gender yet (I know it might be too early to get a conclusive answer, but I'm curious!). Parents are from a breeder and a a possible mix of french marans (black, blue, lavender, and...
Hey! I have a young chicken with a very prominent comb, but so far only pullet feathering, and very feminine compared to its brother. think its a pullet, how about yall?
Got 5 straight run RIR chicks! They are about 5 almost 6 weeks old. Wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out which ones are male vs female. They have colored bands on their legs and one has no band. So far I believe purple is a rooster and green is a hen. Thanks!
