    Polish sexing

    Still hoping that she has a chance to be a pullet, but I'm doubting.. If she ends up being a he, hopefully he's very quiet! We're not supposed to have roosters where we live, but I'm not opposed to keeping one under the radar. Loud crowing, however, is not exactly conducive to secrecy!

    Took this picture today. Is the amount of color in the wattles concerning?

    Bantam cochin- male or female?

    Update at 6 weeks: she's looking more like a pullet! Her comb has stayed small and light pink. Her on our chicken swing:

    Polish sexing

    Updated pics of her at almost 6 weeks old: Her sister for comparison: I'm just concerned because they look so different. Does that mean one is a boy and one is a girl, or that they're just maturing at different rates?

    Silkies or mixes?

    Check how many toes the chicks have- the pure silkies should have 5 on each foot. They should also have black skin, so I'm thinking 4 is a mix. Comb type isn't too visible right now, but anything that's not a walnut comb indicates a mix as well. Hope that helps! All very cute babies!

    Polish sexing

    I have 2 5 week old white crested splash polish babies. They're supposed to be sexed pullets, but one is giving me suspicions... She's starting to get a slight pink tinge to her face and wattles. Her poof is still growing in so that might be why it's so spiky-looking, but her sister's looks more...

    Barnyard Mix Genders

    Chick one looks to be a pullet so far, but the other two appear to be cockerels

    What sex are my 3 month old brahma babies?

    Are you sure these are full brahma? I've never seen these colors before. At 3 months I would expect to start seeing male specific feathering, so check for pointy saddle and hackle feathers coming in. Other than that, nothing screams cockerel to me.

    Bantam cochin- male or female?

    Here she is a week later- I'm still unsure but I feel like she's looking a bit more pullet-y. She's the most neurotic out of all our chicks, for some reason. What do you guys think?

    Is My Chick a Hen or Rooster?

    Wing sexing is inaccurate for most breeds of chickens- only breeds that are specifically bred to be wing sexable can be accurately sexed by feathering. Additionally, "Americana" isn't a real breed, it's a fancy name for the easter egger cross (a mutt chicken bred to produce colored eggs). The...

    Could mystery chick be an opal legbar?

    Updated pics of her at 4.5 weeks old. She's got most of her feathers in now and you can definitely see the barring on her neck and head. Thoughts?
