Ugh I bought four chicks for my lone silkie chick that hatched in January. Every single one is a roo. My rooster total now is 8 out of 16 chickens. Omg some of these guys are going to have to go.

that stinks. If it makes you feel better I only had 1 hatch in Dec so I bought it 1 friend and then hatched more in january. The one that I hatched in Dec turned out to be a roo so I sold him and now the one I bought is super lonely because it doesn't fit in with my 4 1 yr olds or my 4 that I hatched in jan. Poor girl, it would have been fine if I didn't buy her and she went somewhere she would have friends :/

Aww is she a silkie too? You will just have to hatch more. Lol

haha, I'm at my limit with 9. I live in a neighborhood with an HOA so I'm technically not even supposed to have chickens.

My Chickadee is a Rhode Island Red or Production Red. She has actually been getting on the roost with the big girls herself for the past 4 nights. I've had to put her up there each night after dark for the past 6 weeks so I am so excited that she has finally decided it's ok to get up there. She's on the right!

I have one named Chickadee too. She's a SLW.

I've got 3, they're around 2 weeks old. I think 2 are cockerels though. :-/

So I made this thread, but I figured I'd get more guess's by posting it on here. I'm wondering about breed mix and gender. I got these chicks from a gal who had multiple pure breeds together, cuckoo Marans, polish, jersey giants, and swedish flower hens.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I'm going to get out there later and get more photos... maybe someone can tell from these? They are just under 4 months old btw.

Black Copper Maran....



Golden Cuckoo Maran...I have 2. The close up on the right is the one in question...

BCM looks like a pullet

cuckoo... ? Marans get big combs pretty early, so if that's at 4 months I'd say female. My blue maran roo is only 2.5 months old and it's REALLY obvious he's a roo... Like REALLY obvious. I'll have to get a pic.
