Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

Yay! I'm so glad! Although I did want at least one roo. Those are easy to find though so I'll begin my roo search.

Try to get yourself a high quality cockbird from breeder lines, even if you just want him for a pet/casual breeding. It's a buyers market and you'll generally get the best personality and vigor from a breeder stock bird! Lots of rare and quality males out there for very good prices.

No obvious cockerels, yet.

Hen or Roos? All about 8 weeks.

Australorp and Red Sex Link

Barred Rock

This Australorp...I read they have white faces as chicks, do they all?! Ours has always been all black, with red & green tinged feathers from about 15weeks old. Would she still definitely be an Australorp? (I have posted plenty of pics of her here in the past)

 

[LifeOnTheMt]

Great news. One cockerel for sure (barred rock in the middle shown below). We have three that are dark in color and very hard to get pics of. They look a lot like my "four".


Thank you for your input. We can finally name them

This Easter Egger chick is 5 weeks old. It is getting some pink in the comb but it's comb is much smaller and less pink than my other, more obvious cockerels. Any chance it could be a pullet, or is pink in the comb a sure sign of a cockerel at 5 weeks?

They are all 5.4 weeks old. I bought 3 different assortments and 1 BR cockerel from mypetchicken. (Assorted rare breed- females, assorted feathered leg bantams-straight run, and assorted bantams-straight run)

They are a bit young yet, but so far I see two probable cockerels. #2 on the waterer looks like a male, and the brown chick in #9 has a large comb, so is suspicious.
