    12wk Hen or Roo??

    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.

    Who am I?

    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...

    Maran hen or roo??

    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...

    Salmon Faverolle Cockerel - Late Bloomer or is Something Wrong?

    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...

    could it be, she’s a he?

    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...

    Pullets or cockerels?

    I bought these three EE’s from our local feed store. They are a little over 3 months old and I was told they were pullets. What do y’all think?

    Cockerel?

    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!

    10-11 week old ermine ameraucana and ayam cemani - any thoughts on gender?

    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...

    Mixed breed fun. What do you think?

    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...

    dark faverolle pullet or a dude?

    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...

    Tips for Raising Roosters

    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...

    What is this little dude?

    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?

    5 week old barred rock cockerel with reddish brown spot??

    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

    Help with sexing Starlight Green Egger?

    Hey y’all, I’m new to chickening, this is my first season with chicks and I keep getting the feeling that this 7 week old Starlight Green Egger might not be the girl I thought she was. I had a Black Australorp that was showing strong signs of rooster at 4 weeks and of course turned out to be a...

    Too Many Cockerels - Reorg Timeline

    I currently have five, 11-week old chickens outside in a coop. 2/5 of these chickens are confirmed cockerels and will be culled next week. I’m concerned that out of the remaining 3 chickens, two more are cockerels 🥲. The breed is just developing slower. Obviously, our one pullet shouldn’t be...

    Northeast Ohio - Light Brahma Cockerel for Rehoming

    *Cross posted from the Ohio state thread* It is with sadness that we need to rehome our beloved Light Brahma, Link (formerly Lily). He was in the sexed pullet bin, but it's looking like this is a cockerel! He's an absolutely beautiful bird, and so far has been very friendly and a good companion...

    SF Bay area - sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel

    Hello all! I have a sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel named Kuro. He's already a good leader looking out for the pullets I've got, and I think he's pretty to boot. I'd keep him but I can't have a rooster in the city so he's got to go. If I can't rehome him before he starts crowing he's...
