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

[ftfarmer22]

Hello! I decided to start another thread on helping all you back yard chicken farmers determine the sex of your chicken.
I know it can sometimes be super tricky to identify gender in chicks, so that's why we made this thread! No need to start your own thread, just hop on here and share a picture of your chick, making sure it's at least 4 weeks old before asking gender. Me and @Jetblack2004 are almost 100% on genders for chicks 4 weeks+.
So feel free to ask lots of questions regarding gender. We do NOT identify breeds, only gender. However, if anyone out there is good at identifying breeds, please let us know, we would love to have your help!

Thanks!

I'm very sorry for little homeless raggedy's looks. I threw rocks at a hawk to save his life today. It can't see very good both eyes are black and it's missing a fairly large chunk of skin/feathers on back of it's neck

That's a pullet. I am so sorry about the hawk attack, and good job saving her life!

Didn't know that. I'm a newb. Are there other breeds that lack wattles?

Most bearded breeds will not have wattles. Breeds that are 'supposed' to be wattle-less include D'Uccles, Ameraucana, bearded Polish, bearded Silkies, Faverolles, Russian Orloffs, D'Anvers, Sultans, Houdans, Crevecouer, and most Easter Eggers.

Do you have pictures? Would love to see him!

This is a 6mo brahma.. Although it is the largest bird in the flock (a dozen birds, all about same age), being the only one of its breed it is usually bullied and prefers to wander alone. I can't determine its gender, hasn't crowed or laid yet.

Looking deeply into their eyes doesn't do it for me. How about a picture of the whole bird?

Started my own thread but just saw this one! Sorry. I'll add my pics here as well. 6 week old bantams

The middle one is a pullet, and the other 2 are roosters.

Hey all! I was startled to hear a crow break the steady chatter of my ladies earlier today....noooooo!!! I have a couple of ladies that I'm not 100% confident of sex of. I'll post them one at a time.

Meet Gingersnaps, a polish chicken who is delightfully weird and I believe 5-6 ish months old. What are your thoughts? Dude or dudet?vView attachment 1061856 View attachment 1061858 View attachment 1061859 View attachment 1061861 View attachment 1061862

Gingersnaps is a dude with great 80s hair.
