The Big Fat Is This A Rooster? Thread

[Brissychick]

X2 on the light Sussex, raised 6 this past spring & my females never had that large of a comb early on.

Thank you for your feedback. I was 95% sure the Light Sussex is a Cockrel. It's a real shame, but I'll buy another couple in the Spring. I happy that I at least have 4 Pullets (with luck).

Hey everyone, I've got a thread going already but thought I'd post here for more opinions. I've got pictures of my chooks at 15 weeks now - still unsure about chicken 1 but hopefully chickens 2+3 are pullets?

Thanks!

Agreed.

Both chicks are brahma or brahma mix (bird #2 especially) and somewhere 10-11 weeks old.

They look like light Sussexs to me, not quite sure on the gender though.

They look like pullets but I'm not very sure on that...if you look at the hackles, you can tell if they're rooster or not when you put the feathers underneath your fingers to see the shape better. If they're rounded they will be pullets. If they're really pointy they'll be rooster. From the saddle feathers I can't tell because they look round, but they're too white for me to see.

They both definitely had a Brahma daddy, but he had a good mix of ladies so no telling which mother they came from.

Were any light sussexs in there with him?
And what colour were the eggs they hatched from?
