Thank you both. I hope I lucked out. A neighbor has been admiring my birds and I traded the rooster for a broody silk. Silkie is not the breed I wanted but I can at least get the cycle started. I'll buy some light brahma pullets in the spring. I thought he was a rooster but didn't want to accept...

Thanks the more I looked into it the more I became convinced they were both roosters. Just didn't want it to be as I was told I had a boy and a girl. Thanks I'll be looking for a girl now. My leghorns don't make good mamas.

Thank you I knew the sperm had to swim into the egg somehow. So from what you are saying you can't look at the vent of a chicken and determine if it's a boy or a girl. My chicken in question is 8 months old and has given no eggs. It is however the middle of winter and she is a large breed Light...

When my friend was looking in his vent to identify him/her what was he looking for do you know. How does the rooster get his sperm into the egg if there is no sex organ. I noticed there was a cloacas on the diagrams of the reproductive system for both males and females. Other than the fact that...

Ok I'm ignorant that's why I'm asking. He uses something "cloaca" to put sperm in the egg to fertilize it. I don't know if I got the name right. When I look in the hole of a male bird what does the male sex organ look like?

What does a chicken's male sex organ look like? I flipped over a rooster looked in his hole saw a donut shaped "organ" and pushed back on it, saw a slit and inside it was dark red mucosal tissue. I assume this is a penis. Is my description consistent. Diagrams are great and feathers and combs...
