    Sexing Hybrids

    He's partly buff laced Polish for sure. But his comb and eye color are both wrong for purebred Polish, and his crest is too small. The other parent could be a Gold Sebright bantam, but there is no way to know for sure. He is very pretty!

    Sexing Hybrids

    Going by the size and color of the comb at 6 weeks, I think the chick is male. The father is a buff laced Polish mix, not purebred.

    Lavender Orpington Rooster or Hen?

    Yes, that is a male. In the second picture especially his male specific saddle feathers are easy to see.

    Silkie coloring?

    Blue partridge, maybe? The red chick looks like it is mixed with blue also. It probably means the parents of these chicks were different colors, resulting in mixed coloring. That's not uncommon with Silkies.

    Two week old chicks- give me your gender guesses!

    Come into the light, Carol Anne. I think these are too young to tell for sure, but you asked for guesses, so I agree with sourland at this stage.

    5 week old chicks sex

    I think both are cockerels, too, going by their combs.

    Whelp…. Winter is coming but i hatched eggs anyway.

    Yes, they should all have head spots because they will all have at least one copy of the barring gene. But the spots sometimes don't show up well on certain chick fluff patterns. They can though. That's why I say there is no way to tell gender on these yet.

    Whelp…. Winter is coming but i hatched eggs anyway.

    Since the father is double barred, all of his offspring will have at least one barring gene. It may or may not show up as a head spot on striped chick down. Really only pure Legbars can be sexed according to the usual autosexing methods, but I don't see any way at this stage to tell the pure...

    What Breed is She?

    It looks like a production Rhode Island red to me, not a red sex link. Not enough white for that.

    Just curious, anyone who knows this breed? (Illustration)

    It looks to be a buff Wyandotte. I think it's unlikely that there is an old European breed with yellow legs, buff coloring and a cushion comb. Maybe, but if so I don't know it.

    8 week old polish gender

    I think it is too early for accurate guesses. Crested breeds take longer to tell. You can send in samples to a lab if you are impatient. Otherwise I think it's going to take a while.

    Polish/Silkie Cross

    Then your doubts are warranted. Hopefully you get all pullets. They are very pretty even if they're not purebred Silkies.

    Polish/Silkie Cross

    Crested fowl take a long time to tell gender, so I don't think there is anyway to be certain at this point. But going by the rounded crests I am guessing they are pullets. Time is the ultimate judge. If you are impatient it is possible to send feather samples to a lab. For a price they can tell...

    What breed is this rooster?

    Sorry for Goober. It's entirely possible buff Monorca was added later, but I don't think they were in the original crosses. I'm pretty sure buff Minorcas were developed after buff Orpingtons. Black Minorcas were used for black Orpingtons, but black and buff Orps were created using different...

    This silver laced Wyandotte just turned 9 weeks, it’s looking more and more like a roo but wanted peoples thoughts

    Yes, he is definitely a cockerel.

    What breed is this rooster?

    There's no way to know for sure about the rooster in the original post. It's just a guess on my part that game was involved in his mix, and I know it could be off, but that is my hunch. Your rooster is handsome! I've never heard of Minorcas being involved in buff Orpington ancestry. The...

    What are the genders and breed?

    The first three are Wyandotte/Easter egger mixes, I think. The last one is maybe a Legbar mix. I think the last one is a cockerel.

    What breed is this rooster?

    Opinions vary. To me the longish legs, body conformation, high carriage of the tail, and prominent breast, not to mention coloring, say game is in his mix somewhere.

    Hen or roo are any of these cockreals or pullets all around 2 months old

    She has a female specific color pattern, as do the others. You're good to go with all pullets.

    Hen or roo are any of these cockreals or pullets all around 2 months old

    They're all females.
