    Barred Rock

    Pullet or Roo? I picked this little "pullet" up 3 days ago. I am having such a difficult time deciding pullet or roo. What do you guys think?? I'm assuming 3-4days old. I wanted another female BR because I love my original one, so I got another "pullet" and turned to be a male. Hoping I'm not...

    “Tricks” for early sexing?

    Hey friends! I’ve begun my hatching for the year, and I wanted to try something just for fun! What are your favorite/silliest/most interesting “tricks” for early sexing of chicks? I don’t mean anything tried and true, and I don’t mean once the obvious signs are there, like saddle feathers and...

    The big question - sex of peafowl?

    Hi all, I have two peachicks that I got about 5 months ago. I’m certain on the sex of one, but still a bit uncertain (perhaps it’s more a little wishful thinking) on the other. They’re both roughly 6 months old (exact date of hatching unknown) I was hoping for a male black shouldered and...

    Tom or Hen

    I have these 2 poults, the first I’ve bred, and I believe it to be a pair. The Tom gobbles and struts, so definitely a little man. They were both hatched on august 18th. The hen also struts, but she had 6 older brothers, so I’m not surprised. I am only posting him on here for comparison, mama...

    Feather Sexing - advice please

    So I know feather sexing isn't reliable all breeds. I have four hybrids and one has hardly any wings feathers and one has big big wing feathers. Is there anyway for me to tell which is male or female or do I need to wait? Why is one growing faster than the other three.

    Ruby or Reuben? Rhode Island Red, 5.5 weeks old, can't tell if it's a pullet....

    This chick was hatched by one of my hens 5 1/2 weeks ago. I feel like the comb on Ruby/Reuben is larger and pinker than my older RIR pullet was at 5 1/2 weeks. But there are no wattles. Its posture is usually very low to the ground, very skittish and shy. I had to make an alarm call to get the...
