#cockerel

We recently brought 2 chicks at our home.This is nepali breed called "Giriraj.". Can you help us to identify genders of these chicks?These chicks are around 15 days old.

i’m update on chickens, ended up getting 3 roosters out of 6 chicks bought! kind of a bummer but they are beautiful! these boys are bout 14-15 weeks and we are planning to get rid of the two sex link boys to a nice sancutuary.

I've recently bought a group of Speckled Sussex chickens, all of the pullets are very tame. This rooster is not, he's smaller than all of the females and bites people for seemingly no reason. I'd like to keep him, but we would want to tame him or at least make sure he isn't terrified of humans...

Hello! I have a couple chickens I’m having a hard time figuring out if they are make or female. I believe the Red is male and the barred rock is male also but the 3rd one I bought specifically female from the hatchery but not sure of the breed so if you know please let me know!

HI peeps! I was told these chicks were pullets and that they were Black Australorps this does seem correct based on the pictures I have seen but this one is suspicious the tail is held high the chest out and has more of a comb then the others they are about 9 weeks old what do you think? So far...

Certainly a novice at this, especially with breeds ( no clue) Initial thoughts are 8 pullet.

Hi he was abandoned at the side of the road so I’ve never been sure on his breed, could someone let me know what it is please as I’ve always wondered Thank you

Hi I have rescued a cockerel that was abandoned - he had been attacked but his neck is recovering very well and he seems much better in himself. I have noticed recently that he has yellow coming from top of his tail feathers - looks a bit bald this patch so I’m thinking it could be a wound from...

This guy was from McMurrays, obviously neither a pullet nor pure Amercauna as advertised. But gentle, hand raised, and oh so handsome. Not crowing yet, but expecting any day now. City ordinances won’t let him stay, so please holler if you can give him a new home! He’s headed for a dinner table...

Hello! I got three self blue ameraucana chicks locally back on May 7. Two of the chicks were a couple weeks old and one was a couple days old, so now the older two are about 13-14 weeks and the younger is about 12. I’ve been doing my research and trying to decide if I have pullets or cockerels...

okay, so i'm a first time chicken owner. i tried to start with 4 pullets from TSC and accidentally got a roo. it wasn't a problem at first because it was just him, but i learned quickly as he matured that 3 hens wasn't enough girls to go around. the girls have started either turning on him or he...

Hello all! This is our first go with chickens, and these guys are mixes, with parents including EE’s Ameraucanas, olive eggers, and some others. They’re all 12 weeks old. We just want eggs for the family and so didn’t mind what breeds we got too much, but we do need to re-home some extra...

we recently got four chicks from a local store, we got two orpington pullets and two straight run bantams. i do believe the little black one is a barred rock bantam, i’m not sure about the other. and gender wise i have no idea for either two. could you guys help.

Hi all! Is this a marans or Olive egger, and male or female? 4 or so weeks old.

Hey Guys! I am in need of your opinions today! I have raised about a total of 25 or so chickens of all different breeds. I am in no means an expert, but I wouldn’t consider myself a newbie. That being said I have never raised an Americana until now. I do know that it is fairly difficult to sex...

How do these Wheaten Marans Cockerels look compared to the SOP. Not interested in showing, just curious. They are the two survivors from the death problems mentioned here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/sudden-chick-death-problems.1348669/...

After I post this thread I am going to search BYC for anything similar to this, but I wanted to post this for anyone who might be able to immediately identify the problem. I had noticed a few times that my cockeral had a hard time breathing in the past after a lot of running, but I chalked it up...

Hello everyone, Recently I made some new additions to my flock. Any help identifying the breed and sex will be appreciated! Thanks in advance! 1. Bantam pullet, around 4 months old. She is a great forager and a very active bird. She has a very Sebright-ish look to her. What breed is she...

Following this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/any-help-guessing-breed-and-sex-part-2.1328491/ there are the chickens, 1 month older..with quite a few changes in appearance. What do you think about their sex and breed? 1. A pullet. Could be Red Ranger? NHR? RIR? (At 3 and 4...
