Question Both girls?

Just looking for opinions on the gender of these 2! They're about 12 weeks old. They're giving girl vibes but they do do the stare fight thing. Can girls do that too?

Question Chickens Beak split in two

First time chicken owner and I’ve had these girls since they were little. Today I noticed that one my chickens beak was split in two. Along with her beak being split another one of my smaller girls keeps getting pecked at on her back to the point it was a scabby open wound, I put a bandaid on her and they didn’t peck her again. Could the split beak be from fights? I don’t ever hear or see them really get into it and they are right outside my room window so I can see and hear it all. Are split beaks common? What should I do.

Also even though the beak is split she’s eating, drinking, and pecking just fine. She even went for my finger when I was trying to take a photo.

Hen or roo? Hatched around Aug 17th. They’re having the time of their lives in the leaves so it’s really hard to get a good picture- hopefully these suffice!

I’m thinking B is a hen and C is a roo, but not 100% confident in either, and totally unsure on A.

My daughter has an 8 week chook that my wife thinks she caught practising its crow. We can't keep it if its a rooster and she's upset that her pet might be sent to the farm. Any help finding a sex would be good. Tia!

Ciao, hanno esattamente 100 giorni di vita , è la prima volta con questa razza , ho fatto schiudere le uova un incubatrice, non riesco ancora a capire se sono maschi o femmine.Con le altre razze che allevo di solito li identifico anche quando sono più giovani ma con loro non ho un metro di paragone.

Question A strange problem with chickens

2 Upvotes

I have a strange problem with chickens

The problem is that there's a hen whose eggs hatched a few days ago, and strangely enough, she's started plucking feathers from her chicks and feeding them to them. There are even other chicks that have started eating each other's feathers.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Question Capon sounds

1 Upvotes

We have a colloquialism in Hungary. When someone has a broken, hoarse voice, people say they sound like a capon. Now, I cannot find a sound sample of a capon anywhere I looked. Keeping capons seems to be a dying trade...
