I know it's still a bit early to try to be determining sex, however I have seen some people say they can see a difference with this breed at about 3-4 weeks. These are splash isbars from Alchemist Farm and they are right around the 4 week mark, maybe a couple days older. If anyone has experience...

Hello all you chicken lovers,
I could use a second opinion on whether or not this baby is a roo or pullet. Almost 5 weeks old. Comb development has increased slightly. She/he hatched out of a dark brown egg, and I’ve been stumped as to what cross it could be. As a chick she had two black spots...
I have a Rouen duckling that’s 4 weeks old and we’ve been trying to sex it, but we’re not going to try and vent sex them because we don’t want to risk hurting them. At first I thought they might be a male because of how yellow their bill is turning. Since adult male Rouens have the yellow bill...
I have 1 Olive Egger, 1 Black Maran, & 1 Blue Maran Pullets. They are 6 & 7 weeks old ( they look a little younger to me to be honest). According to the person I got them from, they are all Pullets. But, I just don't feel confident that they are all Pullets. Anyone think one of these guys is a...

Hello was just curious what everyone’s opinion was on my chicks. They are 4 weeks old so I know it is still pretty early to tell if they are roos but they are very aggressive towards each other. We think we might have three roos. Two of them are Rhode Island Reds and the other one is an...
Hi!

Can someone help me figure out HOW to tell a rooster among the different styles of combs?

Hi, we have silkie chickens, one is a cross breed chicken I think.
They’re both about 1.5 months old so 6 weeks.
It’s hard to tell as they both have characteristics and features of both genders.
Quite desperate to know and would be appreciated thanks!
