Hi so I have 3 chicks which I was told were New Hampshires and that they were female. I'm not exactly sure if they are or aren't. I'm not allowed to have roosters in the city I live in so I'm a little worried.
These two have me stumped. They’re very similar and I can’t figure out if they’re both cockerels or not....I realize I can wait a few weeks but like guessing...and planning. They’re 11 weeks old.
I’ll post pics of #1 and #2. I always thought #2 was more girly with a Single row pea comb but now...
I have this rooster who is 5 months old he loves my 3 week old baby chicks and he follows then around making sure they don't get hurt. One day one of them went missing and we searched everywhere. The next day my rooster found it stuck in-between two rocks that I checked more than once. He pulled...

Ever had a 3 week old chick ruling the roost? We are new to raising chicks. Our pullet flock of 4 each Isa Brown, NovoGen Brown & Easter Color Pack have been growing so fast. Turns out one is a Rooster. How do we know or at least think so? One of the Red sexlink chick’s legs and body is a 1/3...
All the help possible please! Is this a cockerel or a hen? It’s 5/6 weeks old I haven’t heard it make sound. I’m also wondering if anyone knows what breed of chicken he/she is? Thanks in adavnace y’all :)
Hi! How long should I wait to after introducing the cockerel to the hens, to get fertilized eggs? We moved 8 hens and 1 cockerel to one coop last week and we haven’t noticed any hanky panky going on yet and weren’t sure how long we should wait. Thanks!!!
I’m currently looking for Easter egger chickens, I live in south New Jersey . I have four, seven month old hens and I’m looking to find them a new friend. If anyone has any Easter Eggers for sale or for free and lives nearby please contact me my email is [email protected] you can comment...
I cannot find out if it is "cockerel" or "cockeral"!!! So while I watch and learn let's make this fun!
How do you spell it? Please vote on the poll and/or post your opinion below of why it should be spelled that way.
Enjoy!:pop
6 mos old. Located in Schuyler County, NY. Ended up with several roos in my last batch of chicks and he's the last I need to rehome. Little bit more "active" as he's maturing but fairly nice little guy.
Over the last few weeks/months I've been desperate to get a gender on my silkie chick. Got into the 5 month mark with no indications. Lots of you guessed cockerel but weren't sure as it's hard to do with silkies. Well...today I watched HIM crow. You all were right even if it was a guess. I'm...
I feel sort of guilty posting this when others have much more urgent problems, but I'll do it anyway.
My eight month old silkie rooster, Peter, wheezes after he crows. I'm not sure, but I think this is new. I noticed it yesterday morning, because he crowed several times. He crows, then sharply...
Hello! I have a question about a small amount of blood I found in my coop that appeared to be mixed with mucus and poo.
I'm guessing it's related to either that my pullets have just begun laying or that my surprise cockerel has started trying to make babies. The whole flock is vaccinated...
I have “4” 12 week old Easter egger chicks. They are sweet as ever. We have gotten 6 more chickens 3 roosters we are going to sell, and “3” 6 month old hens we are gonna keep. However the chicks are terrified of the hens and roosters. What should I do? The hens step on the chicks and the chicks...
I have a 5 1/2 month old cockerel needing a new home (or dinner plate :) ).
He is only aggressive to me. He leaves my wife alone.
He is a beautiful Sapphire Blue Plymouth Rock (so I was told at TS).
He is in my profile picture.
I am in the upstate of SC and like to find him a new home.
For the last 3 days our cockeral has been randomly dropping his head slowly, then moments later he will lift it back up and walk around as normal. He's seemingly otherwise healthy and eating normally. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what could be wrong??
Hi all! I'm relatively new here and I just was told by a few of y'all that my Dorothy is a cockerel, not a pullet. This has, quite frankly, put me in a highly anxious state as I have read here and there on this forum all about roosters. The general idea is that they are mean, mean, mean...
These little ones hatched just over 3 weeks ago. The dad was a frizzle and mum was a silkie.
I know silkies are difficult to sex, but is that only pure silkies? I’m new to chickens! Any guesses as to the sex? Help!
