Green Queen Bantam cockerel, 13 weeks old. Had Marek’s vaccine and raised from day old. Very sweet chicken who loves pets and being held, but sadly cannot have roosters here.
Cupholder is about 10 months old and got these about a month ago. He has one on each side and they dangle a little bit (reminds me of a racket tailed drongo lol) Will he grow out of them? Are they show quality?
Tomorrow we're picking up our new cockerel, Pushpa!
We went with the kids to choose earlier this week and he had a friend who's been on my mind all week.
Being the impulsive person I am, I already sent a message to the hatchery that I would love to take both, if he's still there.
Now I don't...
He's a half Blue Crele Ameraucana and half Silver Crele Leghorn. (DOB: 24th April 2025)
I'm willing to trade for any birds (minus other roosters). I could throw in some money if needed to make it fair, but he has got to go. He's kind enough to be a inside chicken if need be, but I have too many...
Update on my flock! So I definitely think I have two JG cockerels.. all the chickens pictured are 12 weeks old. I have 11 hens.. will I likely have to rehome one?
Long but please bear with me for all details! Have flock of 15 total now. 6 OGs that are 2.5 years old. 4 that are 1.5 yrs. Let a broody sit on 5 new day olds this spring. Got a surprise Cali White Rooster (Romeo). (Out of all 15 breeds, would have CHOSEN a Calif White LAST if I wanted a rooster...
Is this 12wk old a pullet or cockerel? Not showing any rooster tendencies at all, no crowing, not dominant. Acts more like a pullet by being a bit more shy, my other roosters at this age were friendly. The comb/wattles are larger than my others.
Hi there! I ordered some double silver laced Barnevelder (DSLB) hatching eggs in the mail. Due to the postal delivery crushing the box only one egg survived to hatching. Now this little, pullet?, is 3mo old to the day. Tiger as it is named, does not have the typical lacing of any of our other...

Pullet or Cockerel?? 10.5 weeks Mystic Maran. The black comb and wattles are throwing me off. This one is larger than the others. My husband said he heard a little one trying to crow and I’m trying to figure out who the culprit is 😂
Someone also told me that Mystic Marans do not have black...
Hello! We have a Salmon Faverolle cockerel and he’s a few days shy of three months old. As you can see, his neck still isn’t fully feathered (feathers on his head grew this last week) and his comb is struggling… it starts to pink up in spots then turns purple. He’s very low speed/low energy...
these babies were hatched may 24th, making them ~33 days.
out of the 7, 4 are confirmed males, while 2 are confirmed females.
this one in particular is odd to me- she has had very quick feather development like another cockerel, is large and slender-bodied like the other cockerels, and is...
Chances this is a cockerel? Hatched 5/22 and already has a red comb. None of the other chicks from the hatch have this color. First time hatching chicks and identifying sex!
I've tried looking at everyone's posts and looking up the anatomy of a rooster, but I still have no idea what I'm looking for. Help?
Prepare for picture overload! Let's start out with this cuteness. Heat wave and still wanting to cuddle.
I've posted when they were younger, and now I...
We have a little cockerel I call Mo. We hatched him from our own eggs.
I know he is half Polish. He is sired by Hans, our mixed breed beauty. I believe him to be Black Copper Marans x Gold Deathlayer. Some people in another post I made about him don’t believe he’s BCM because of the comb type...
this baby came from my first ever batch of hatched chicks, out of the smallest pink egg i was sent. i know she is half salmon faverolle, but the male sire could be anything from black/white cochin to black copper maran.
she is very faverolle-heavy though, her momma did the heavy lifting...
The time has come - we finally have a cockerel! My sweet baby (used to be called Mama's Girl) finally tested out his crow yesterday. He's a sweet boy, and I want to make sure he stays that way.
I've been trying to research, and I've seen the same info circulating. So I wanted to reach out and...
I’m 99% sure this is a cockerel. He’s about 5 weeks old now. At first I thought barred rock, but definitely doesn’t look like any barred rock I’ve seen before. Any ideas?
So this is my 5 week old barred rock cockerel, he has a little spot of reddish brown feathers around his eye. Is this normal, something that goes away with age?? You can see it in the photo below
