The usual she or he?
Our take
Are you ready for some cluck-tastic chicken chatter? Meet NonaSweets, who’s feeling pretty confident about her six delightful pullets nearing the ten-week mark. With two Easter Eggers, two Sapphire Gems, one Speckled Sussex, and a Midnight Majesty (or so she believes), Nona is on a quest for affirmation about her feathered friends' gender. It’s a rite of passage for any chicken enthusiast to ponder – are these lovely ladies truly hens, or is there a surprise rooster lurking in the coop? Join the conversation and lend your expertise, because nothing beats the thrill of identifying these charming birds as they grow. Let’s lend Nona our clucking wisdom and make this a fun and supportive chicken community experience!
| | 6 pullets almost 10 weeks old. Feeling pretty confident they are all girls but would love a second opinion. I’ve got two Easter Eggers, two sapphire gems, 1 speckled Sussex, and 1 midnight majesty (I think). Thank you!! [link] [comments] |

- Breed help? (Update at 11.5 weeks) Hi friends! Me again, so some suspicions have been put to rest, but curious to hear some opinions! Ordered these "girls" from valley hatchery late February, and fairly certain we have all pullets (yay!) The gold laced wyandotte is suspicious to me, but curious to thoughts. Updated photos are attached, but my thoughts are barred rock, buff orpington, brown leghorn, rhode island red, gold laced wyandotte (pullet or cockeral confirm?), Welsummer????, and 3 easter egger/olive egger types. We ordered 6 "rainbow egg layer special" chicks from Valley hatchery and honestly had a really great experience in spite of getting three bonus chicks and having to completely upgrade our homestead set-up 😅 (also bought a much larger coop because chicken math taking effect before receiving our birds was the surprise)! submitted by /u/acooldogdad [link] [comments]
- Have a couple of questions.I believe I have Sapphire Gem, Plymouth Rock, Speckled Sussex. Please let me know if I'm right. I have no idea what the yellow ones are. I know they had a bin full of Cornish Crosses when I got my chicks and not sure if they tossed the extras in the bin where I got mine, but I know they are supposed to grow fast and they are growing at the same rate as the rest so idk. Also can anyone tell if any are roosters. If not, no biggie. submitted by /u/youareanobody [link] [comments]
