3 week chicks

I have 4 chicks, 2 bantams and 2 that are supposedly blue australorps but they don’t really have a blue color so not sure how accurate that is. I purchased them all 3 weeks ago from tractor supply and I have a strong feeling the bantams are roosters and possible one of the others. I...

Hello, I know 3 weeks is too early to tell, but I love playing the guessing game of what gender the chicks are. I have two buff orpingtons (#1 & #2), one starlight green egger (#3) and two cream legbars (#4 & #5). All are from TSC. The biggest difference I see right now is between my two buff...

Hi! My name is Nat. I recently brought home my first ever baby chicks. I am in love with their outgoing, sweet personalities and I can't wait to watch them grow! (1) My grandfather had chickens and owned/worked a farm. This is my first experience with chickens, and I would like to open up a...

I was so convinced my sweet chick daisy was a girl she is a lap chick already and I had thoughts others may be Roos but not her and now she is looking the most like she may actually be a male after all? Red comb forming also has red wattles coming in, “she” is 3 weeks old! Thoughts??? She is an...

I just want to be very clear: I did NOT put a single chick on myself. They decided today that they'd accept me into the family and it's adorable! They were hopping all over me! And I guess I should say sorry in advance for the language. I was just so floored! I never thought they'd be this...

This little Serama looks a week or two younger than it's siblings and has delayed feather development compared to them. They are all 3 weeks old, and all them including the runty one are eating and drinking fine. The two mother hens seem to be preferring the runty chick over the others as well...

I posted in the wrong section before. I think I have a pair of Cali greys, all was well until one was staring at me a lot and then the color was developing. One has much lighter feathers coming in and the other is much darker, even darker feet. I also have a bird that was supposed to be a...

We just got our two very first chicks, they’re silkies, gray is looking like a sizzle! I know there’s no way of knowing gender other than dna testing or waiting it out, but I’d love some thoughts and guesses from you all! Gray is named Pip, black-gray is Mipha. They are 3 weeks old today...

Hello! I had posted a thread about 4-5 days ago asking about one of my silkie chicks. I have 3 and they are 3 weeks old today. I have one that is different than the other 2. Two of them are white, growing rapidly, and are now sprouting head and back feathers. They have their wing feathers and...

I know its to early to really tell but i bought all my birds as pullets but this salmon favorelle seems to either not be right breed/gender or just early devolper This one above i believe is pullet the one below i think is different breed/gender

Please help! My 3 week old australorp started stretching her neck out and opening her mouth. It almost looks like she’s going to throw up. She’s shaking her head a lot too. She’s still fairly active and eating and drinking and her poop is normal but I’m worried it could be gapeworm or something...

I just got 4 chicks about 3 weeks ago. Three of them are showing good development in tail, wing, and in their comb. However, one of them seems to have different wings, less of a comb, and little to no tail. He/she is a Bovan Brown. They are all the same age. I think this might be a rooster, but...

She/he is bigger than the other 3 week old chicks and has a slightly redder comb. Was hoping you guys would be able to identify her/him!

Hi everyone, Me and my boyfriend decided to get chickens to reduce the number of eggs we buy from supermarkets. We built a chicken coop and got our first ever chicken. Everything was working just fine with our new baby (we named her Elena, 1 y/o) so we decided to get 2 baby chickens that would...

Hello! I have some three week old chicks that a broody hatched and right now they are in their own pen with their mama, away from the flock. My concern is whenever I go to feed or water them they bolt around the cage running along after their mom and just generally acting very frightened. I...

These little gals are about 3 weeks old now. Lots of pretty little feathers coming in. 2 New Hampshire Red 4 Silver Lace Wyandotte
