16 weeks

Is this a hen or roo? It’s a lot bigger than my other young hen that’s the same age Any idea? Thanks

I have three French Cuckoo Marans who are 16 weeks old. I thought by now it would be perfectly obvious which sex they are. To me (newbie) they look like girls, but the behavior of one makes me think it’s gotta be male. At 16 weeks anyone think one is possibly a roo?

We have a 16 week speckled Sussex (Demetrius) that seems to have developed a larger redder comb and waddle faster than the 3 other chickens we received at the same time, born the same day. (Brahma, black sexlink, and Delaware) And seems to have longer tail feathers then usual female Sussex. She...

Maple has been one of the sweetest Silkie chicks we have and continues to be. We have 3 Silkies and as they developed we noticed that Maple grew faster than his "sister" Marble. We have had 5 suspected cockerels over these past few months, 4 have turned out to be just that..boys! However Maple...

Hello, I’m MJ and I picked up my first 3 chicks back in late March. I started with 2 speckled Sussex pullets and 1 buff Orpington pullet. My buff was a sweet little thing but while waiting on being able to move to our new home with a yard (was delayed by almost 2 months :/) they went to my...

Hey! First time with Dominiques. I have 2, both at 16 weeks, and one is started to look a bit cockerel. Hoping I'm wrong and it is a big beautiful girl. They both have identical feathering but the faces are... a bit different. Are these side things sign of a rooster? When they were little they...

I have a leghorn chicken, her name is Munchkin. She's about 16 or so weeks old, and we brought her in the house maybe 2 weeks ago. She had been huddled away from the flock and lethargic. Right now, she's currently in a dog crate. Her shavings get changed regularly and I take her out every so...

Hey Everyone,:frow I have five chicks who just turned 16 weeks old yesterday. In our coop, we have blocked off the nesting boxes (so the chickies don't go in and sleep or poop). When should we unblock them and fill them with shavings? Also, what should we put inside so the chicks know where to...

This is our silver laced Wyandotte. She is 16 weeks old. My daughter loves her and has been in tears daily worrying that it might be a rooster. She is getting tall green tinted feathers in her tail. No talons. Quite a large comb and wattle. Our city code does not allow roosters. What do you all...

Hi, I have this cockerel. It's about 16-17 weeks old. Pretty tall, compared to the other cochin cockerels with which it hatched alongside. I was wondering if it might be a Birchen Marans. I got it from someone who was not knowledgeable, so I have no background whatsoever on its breed, origin...

I have two 4 month old beautiful well mannered Asian Black roosters that need a new home:( We brought 8 chicks home hoping for all layers and got two boys in the mix. Our borough does not allow for roosters and boy do they sing now. They will eat from your hand and come when you call them and...

Our boys are about 16 weeks old and all of them are the sweetest. They are easy to catch and let you hold them no problem. We just can't have all three with the rest of our flock and are looking for good homes for all of them.

Here are our chickens! From what we've seen online, we think they may all be pullets. But we are especially unsure about the barred rock , because his/her patterning as a chick was that of a rooster. Could you guys help us determine their genders? You all have been very helpful to us in the...
