So, My wife and I are new to this whole backyard chicken thing. We did a research, picked our chickens, got approval from the city of Columbus, and even had our chickens checked out for gender by our vet. Three of our chickens came back as ladies. However, one rather big Barred Rock was left...
Hello! A few days ago we bought a Serama Roo and when we got home, I noticed he had some yellow crust on his comb. I have sprayed it twice with Vetericyn, but I don't think it's done anything. I also noticed that he spends most of the day napping on the roost, but I think that might have...
I have 7 adorable EE cockerels looking for a good home. They are 8 weeks old and have amazing beards and muffs. We have handled them frequently and they love to run up for treats and don’t mind being held. All were hatched from blue eggs.
I hate to send all these to freezer camp! Located in...
I thought Big Red and Penny were RIRs but they have white on their backs and face and black in their tail feathers. Sid is darker and a richer, solid red color.
Could they still be RIRs or are they something else?
Big Red and Penny are around 11 weeks old
Sid is around 9 weeks old
Got them all...
Hi, we purchased a so called ameraucana from a feed store who uses belt hatchery. The chick was self blue coloring. Now we are finding out that his legs are green so must be an Easter Egger and we have a very strong feeling it is a rooster. Can someone identify this bird. Thanks!
I'm a chicken newbie and feel that my 7.5 week black Australorp is suspect for either being a dominant hen or a roo. However, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Any insights?
Hi,
I am raising 6 chicks and two are Delawares and I can't stop comparing them. They are 11 weeks old. One is definitely a pullet and the other one I think might be a roo. My confusion is that Sunny (the potential roo) developed thicker legs, a comb and wattles earlier than Donna so I assumed...
Hi! I am new to the site and I am also a new chicken owner. March 13th we received our day old Buff Brahma chicks 5 girls and a roo. We are also first time Vermonters as of December so as we worried for the cold we kept our babies in a large dog crate until they were 9 weeks old! a few weeks ago...
Hello! I've hatched a couple of Barbu D'uccles, they are are approximately 6 weeks old. Can anyone help me with the gender please 🙏?
Thank you all :frow
I can easily post more pictures of a chicken if needed from a different angle. They are almost 6 weeks old cinnamon queens, and Easter Eggers.
I believe they are;
Wendy -hen
Zeus- Roo
Chickira- hen
Adam-roo
Zebra-roo
Lucífer-roo
Rotisserie-roo
Alfredo-roo
Poppy-hen
Ruthen-hen?
Eva-hen
Brook-hen...
This is my favorite chicken, Hilda.... I am fearing that she is a rooster. Can you guys confirm for me or should I wait for a crow? I hate to give her up😑
Alright, I’ve looked but I’m not seeing good comparison pics so I’m asking here. I have a pair of light Brahmas, 4.5 weeks old. Pretty sure one of my pullets is either a roo or a turkey 😂. Assuming from pics y’all will be able to know who I’m questioning. If not then he’s probably not a roo...
Hello I’m new to having chicks and I first started with 6 chicks but 3 ended up being pretty obvious roosters, anyway they got sent back. I am now down to 3 chicks. Chick #1 is 8 week old buff Orpington ( I have my doubts on the breed). Chick #2 is 7 weeks old light Brahma ( which is probably...
A Neighbour was getting rid of her chickens and said They were all 10 week old Hens. I can’t tell if “Mary” is a hen or roo. “She” is also almost twice the size of the 10 week olds I already have so maybe she’s older?
Hey!
so my favorite babies are growing combs and one has wattles pretty much overnight!
I live in Philly and my neighbors are cool with hens but roos will be a real problem-real quick lol.
They are 8 weeks old and are sweet as can be. In the coop and run they get along perfectly! As soon as...
