And you agree this is a hen? Thanks for your input!

My blue amercauna crowed this morning I have doubts about my blue wyandotte as well (large, but not crowing.) What do you think??? The wyandotte is 3.5 months old.

Oh boy. Yeah, I'd be suspicious of that Wyandotte, too. The color is kinda patchy.

Juniper is a Silkie / cochin cross, an attempted sizzle but didn't get the sizz gene. She's my favorite baby, but I'm worried she's a roo.

I'm POSITIVE it's a hen. That coloring is female-specific.

This is one I really hope to be wrong about but the females seem to have a smoother look to the blue -- either monotone or laced or with a gentle transition from a darker neck to a lighter body while males seem to be darker here, lighter there in a patchy way as juveniles.

Reddened and growing comb/wattles before the feathers are in is a cockerel.

Likely a mixed breed, but what kind? It's the only one that is brown/gold

Thanks again!

I have two silkies I'm curious about although I know silkies are very hard to sex and mine are young. The buff is 8-9 weeks and the white is 5-6 weeks. You can see the comb coming in on the white one but not the buff yet.

Can someone help me out? I have an EE that is 18 weeks old and I'm questioning if it's a hen or cockerel! I just got my 1st blue and green egg today and have 4 total EEs! Thoughts? PLEASE help! (Ignore the leghorn on the bottom right!)
