    Hen or Roo? Barred rock mix chicks - 8 weeks old

    6-7 week old blue laced Wyandottes sexing

    I have two beautiful 6-7 week old chicks who are just not feathering the same. The combs and wattles are not large but feather pattern throwing me off. Fairly certain the girl is the more blue pattern up front and the boy is the black one in back. Thoughts or guesses?!

    Help Sexing These 8 Week Old Chicks

    I cannot for the life of me tell which of my chicks are male or female. They hatched 8 weeks ago and they just all look the same to me. Minus the one with the leg issue 😂 Anyway, I have a hen with a really long tail that seems to be the mom of quite a few of these babies which confuses me. None...

    Sexing Cayugas

    Hello! So I've been seeing stuff on sexing Cayugas by their quacks but I don't understand what I'm listening for. They're 8 weeks old so just a few more weeks until my drakes get their curly-Qs in their tail feathers, but I'd like to know what I'm listening for when they quack. Here's a...

    Correct ratio (if it exists) for Hens to Roos

    Maybe, and most likely, this question has been answered elsewhere on BYC, but I haven't found it. Is there a recommended number of how many hens to how many roosters? Not breeding or planning to hatch chicks. Have 13 total, and at 8 weeks they have not yet declared their gender status to me. So...

    Sultan Gender Help!

    I have two sultan chicks at about 8 weeks old. I got them from Meyer and ordered for only female chicks. I have polish hens and have already gone through the growing up of them as chicks, but sultans are a little bit different and harder for me to tell the sex. I’ve never actually raised them to...

    Hello! First Post, need help Roo or Pullets?

    I am a newbie to backyard chickens. My "hopefully" girls are 8 weeks old. I notice the wattle on my Scarlett girl is growing a little faster than her litter mate "Ruby" of the same breed: New Hampshire's. I purchased them from TS and I know sexing is not 100% when they are chicks, and even after...

    3 Dominiques, 2 roosters? need help with gender ID!

    Hi Folks, I have 3 Dominiques in my small flock, they are about 8 weeks old. 2 are developing the same, and I suspect they are roos. The one I think is a pullet is much smaller, has a nubby little tail, and her comb looks like my other 2 (Americauna & Buff Orpington) which I am quite sure are...
