Hi everyone- need advice about my cockerel ‘Poach’
Has anyone used a no crow collar?
What’s your experiences with caponising?
Or do any of you have any advice about how to stop a rooster crowing {loudly} or at least quietening him down?
Can anyone share their experiences…
Few weeks ago I fell victim to TSC late season chick days. It appears my "assorted bantam" bin gave me a cochin. I was in the coop/brooder tonight checking over everyone and noticed tell-tale redness of a young cockerel. These babies are only 3 weeks old. I don't want to be right but "it" is a...
I have two golden polish. They look very similar except one has the waddles. They are both 14 weeks old. I’ll post pic of both. They are supposed to be hens but the one has pretty big waddles.
Tell me what you think.
My other white crested black polish rooster same age already cockadoodles.
Hello :)
I have these two (pullets?) I'm rehoming next week,
I think they are pullets ?
They hatched March 6th, so 2months old. Hen is brown serama, roo either black/white frizzle serama or oegb.
Thanks so much :))
I have a broody hen who hatched 7 eggs from a mixed barnyard dozen. I ordered the dozen from a reputable farm that has purebreds, but the dozen I got is not from there carefully separated lines and breeds, so any autosexing down patterns are uncertain. I do know some of their partial genes...
So,we have a mixed group of brahmas, an Easter egger,and 2 silver laced wyandotte. I'm 100% sure there is only one cockerel in the brahma lot and I'm pretty sure the EE is a pullet as well.
But the SL Wyandottes have me stumped. Anyone want to guess?
Hey y'all, first post here (with a few more to come). I want a rooster for my flock. Specifically, I want a Barred Rock. So I went to Tractor Supply about a week and a half ago (I think). I saw that they finally were carrying straight run Barred Rocks! I already have 7 hens, and 5 pullets, so I...
We have 5 brahma chicks that I believe are about 8 or so weeks old. Four are gorgeous little fluff butts, and then there is this one... I don't see any signs of mites or parasites. Eating, drinking and pooping normally and quite fiesty. I thought I read somewhere that cockerals feather more...
I have two Silkies that are 14 weeks old and I am having a difficult time telling if they are pullets or roosters. At first I thought pullets, but they are stumping me now with their crests. The first 4 photos(same bird) its new crest hairs seem to be all around its crest. Comb is pretty flat...
We are still figuring out the genders of the turkens we bought back in September. With help from folks here yesterday we pretty much confirmed one white and black chick is indeed a cockerel, and three of the others are girls. We do have one other mystery chick that we are on the fence about. The...
Hi all,
Purchased a mix of 15 “pullets” last August. They were sexed with a magnet on a string and we’ve already brought one rooster back, have at least 3 more with obvious tail plumes who are facing off and I’m wondering about these 2. The big one I saw grabbing a couple hen’s necks and I think...
These two are 3-4 months old and no crowing.... I was told they were roosters in a previous forum. Now I am not so sure, they don't have big combs. Some of my hens have larger and the big rooster (father) does chase them off. Any ideas? They were both hatched by my 8 year old hen...

Cockerel Or Pullet?
I have 2 English Lavender Pullets(hopefully). One 12 weeks, the other 14 weeks.
No idea what sex they are, but hoping hens. There are no Roos allowed in our city, and we love them.
Thank you!
"Little Lady" 12 wks, on left in photos below.
"Violet" 14wks on right in...
Good evening everyone!
After last nights discussion over some of the memeber members of our flock and discovering that one I hadn’t suspected to be a Roo, I figured I should indeed inspect further. So with gritted yeetcuans squinted eyes I show you our next “Girl” Henny an almost 8 wk old...
So after a long absence of no chickens I recently bought 2 (what were supposed to be) barred rock pullets at our local feed store. Only now one is crowing :he
In the meantime my sister hatched a bunch of chicken eggs for her classroom’s school project and gave me 2 lavender Wyandottes when the...
Hi there! I have 5 16 week birds, marked RI red pullets from tractor supply. One has started laying, I know who she is:
Weirdly, no tail feathers but fluffernutter is a girl.
By contrast, the other 4 all look a bit different in coloring and maturation. Different sized combs and waddles...
