    Last two hen or roo question

    I just wonder if the hatch date is right. These just look like younger cockerels to me. But they could be late developers. I don't see them being pullets, in any case.

    2 month old buff Orpington a male or female? Help!!

    The bird seems a bit slow in development to me. I would give it more time. I am not seeing a clear cut answer with this one.

    Six week Dominique - hen or roo?

    Pullet. A cockerel would have wider white stripes on the feathers and be lighter in overall color.

    can you tell the gender?

    The first one could be a cockerel with its comb and wattles being larger and more colorful. I'm not 100% confident, though. With the other, look to the comb and wattles. If they are small at this stage then you probably have a female.

    Getting curious. 9 chicks, 10.5 weeks old (silkie cochin/wyandotte mixes)

    2 is in between. Its comb is red but not that big. The coloring is mixed. IDK, I would give that one more time. You can re-home cockerels at any time. I think the sooner the better, if you can find people who will take them. Posting on Craigslist is one option. Hormones come in when they come...

    Introduction

    Welcome! It must get confusing sometimes when they're named after relatives. Or it would be for me lol.

    1, 6 and 7 are definitely males. I suspect 2 is also male but not definite at this stage. The rest are looking like females to me. 3 is definitely a female.

    Last two hen or roo question

    A hatch date of April 13th would make them over 5 months old. I think they must be females if that is the case. Edit- No, I change my mind. I think they are both late blooming cockerels. Final answer :)

    Chickens Pecking Fingers?

    Sometimes they peck because they are scared or angry, and that usually hurts a lot. When they peck gently it is either they think your fingers are food or they're mildly annoyed and want to be let down. That's the way I figure it, anyway.

    What Breed is this duck 7/8 week old? Im stumped. Plus, do you think my Khaki Campbell is a Duck or Drake?

    Maybe Golden 500 or Gold Star? I've seen both hybrids with males like that. I'll post a picture of Gold Stars from MCMurray Hatchery's website. For gender, I can't help. I've always waited until they were old enough for the quack test.

    Is my silkie a hen or a roo

    What is the comb like? If it is small I'm thinking pullet.

    rooster four months old and molting

    He still has a chance to catch up if he is given free access to good feed. Extra protein in the form of meal worms might help, too.

    Please help identify!

    Silkie mix. Maybe old English game bantam is a part of the equation, too.

    rooster four months old and molting

    He is a Sicilian buttercup. They are slightly larger than Leghorns, so not big. He is not thriving if he is only a half pound at that age, but I don't think he is a bantam. With TLC he might improve or might not.

    what breed?

    The bottom picture shows Belgian bantams in a few different colors. Also known as D'Anvers. The top picture might show Swedish Flower Hens. They can be crested.

    What gender are they?(3months)

    If the red one is from a hatchery or feed store then it must be a red sex link pullet, despite the massive comb and wattles at such an early age. However, if it is from a backyard flock then it could well be a cockerel.

    Ayam Cemani hen or roo 11 weeks

    The comb looks pretty big for 11 weeks. I think it is a cockerel. If it is, male specific feathering should start coming in withing a few weeks, and that will confirm gender.

    What breed AND gender is this?

    Yes. I'm not sure which edition that one is. I found an older one at Goodwill for around 10 bucks not long ago, and I have a version from the 80s as well that I used when I used to show chickens. This book contains the standards used by judges at poultry shows in the U.S.
